The process of water moving through the soil is called percolation or ground water recharge. In this process water oozes, seeps, or filter through the soil beneath the surface, without a defined channels, or in a course that is unknown and not discoverable from surface indications without excavation for that purpose. Percolation and infiltration are two related but different processes describing the movement of water through the soil. Infiltration involves the downward entry of water into the soil or rock surface while percolation is the flow of water through soil and porous or fractured rock.<span />
Answer:
This question lacks options; the options are:
A) Artificial selection
B) Stabilizing selection
C) Disruptive selection
D) Directional selection
The answer is D) Directional selection
Explanation:
Changes in the environmenal condition affects the distribution of organisms phenotypes. Via this change, organisms with certain traits are naturally selected. The types of natural selection are; stabilizing, disruptive and directional.
Based on the description of the selection in this question, the type of selection is DIRECTIONAL. Directional mutation is that in which one of the two extreme phenotypes in a population is selected against while the other is favored by the occurrence of a natural environmental hazard. The distribution gradually shifts to favour one extreme over the other until the other unselected extreme gets extincted.
This is the case regarding a population of finches affected by drought caused by flood causing all their food source to disappear leaving only ant hills that certain finches with thin beaks can access. This environmental change favorably selects one extreme phenotype (finches with long thin beaks). Hence, a type of DIRECTIONAL selection
C recession is one of the five causes of a business cycle.
Business cycles are measured by looking at the growth rate of the gross domestic product of a country. There are five causes of a business cycle:
1. Changes in interest rates2. Changes in house prices3. Changes in consumer and business confidence 4. The local or world economy moves into a recession5. The local or world economy moves out of a recession.
These causes can also be seen as unstable fluctuations rather than stable cycles.

Answer:
The correct answer is "True".
Explanation:
The zebra mussel is a small animal that lives near freshwater zones, just like the ones present at the Hudson River of New York. In this place is where zebra mussel was first detected in May 1991. However, it had been traced that zebra mussel is originally native to the Black and Caspian Seas of Asia. It is believed that zebra mussel arrived to New York in the mid-1980s in the ballast water of ocean-going ships that came from Europe.
D. Fertilization, diploid
During fertilization, the egg and sperm (haploid gametes) fuse and form a diploid zygote. The zygote has 2 complete sets of chromosomes, one from each parent.
Hope this helps!
