What is the name of the force that initially sets the air in motion and, hence, causes the wind to blow? The name of the force that causes wind to blow is a Pressure Gradient Force. 6. What does the Coriolis force do to moving air a. In the Northern Hemisphere?

-”Wegner used the shapes of matching shorelines on different continents as a supporting piece of evidence for continental drift. 3. Describe Earth's magnetic field, including how it has changed through time. -Similar to a simple bar magnet, ends have opposite polarities that cause magnetic objects to align parallel to it’s magnetic field. Poles have wandered from geographical position over the years.
In this study the concept of natural selection was studied using a predation model where different coloured samp samples ware used to represent insects, different environments were used to see if they had any effect on natural selection. The expectation is that the predator would see certain colour of prey more easily in those environments that they do not blind into as the prey use camouflage as a way to protect themselves from the predators. The study would also help to show how the population changes throughout the natural selection in the environments being studied on. METHOD In this study 60 samp pieces of 12 of 5 different colours, pink, green, white, blue and orange were provided, also provided were two multicoloured cloths representing two different
The Galapagos finches is a prime example of adaptive radiation because the Grant’s study displayed how the shapes of the finches beaks varied in order to best equip them for the differing habitats and diets they had. When learning about how the natural selection process works it is critical for one understands the three key points in which natural selection consists of. For natural selection to take place there first must be
The Analysis of Shellfish Muscel Proteins in Regard to Evolutionary Change Ramin Baimaninejad Lazia Leon-Guerrero Claire Edwards Michael Yacoub BIOL&212L Abstract: When observing the morphology of mussels, scallops, oysters, and clams one can observe the similarities in physical structure; the question is posed as to whether these traits are due to convergent evolution or genetic similarities. To better understand the evolutionary relationships between the shellfish muscle protein analysis was performed to find similarities and differences between the organisms. Samples of isolated proteins were extracted from the four stated species; shrimp protein was also extracted to serve as an out-group. The protein samples were analyzed via gel electrophoresis and protein mass fragments were weighed. It was found that scallops and clams had the closest relationship with a 44% protein match.
Plate tectonics are the main evidence to support er of the notion of continental drift, as well as the shapes of the continents. Each continent can be positioned to where it once formed a giant land mass known as -

Unit 6 Seminar 1.How are these cycles essential for life and what roles do these forms of matter serve for different types of organisms? Ecology is the branch of science that studies interdependent groups of living things, called ecosystems. Each ecosystem is characterized by its physical environment and its community of living organisms. In every ecosystem many different organisms, each competing for matter and energy, occupy their own ecological niches. Photosynthetic plants in the first trophic level use energy from the Sun; these plants provide the energy for animals in higher trophic levels.
