Answer: Youngest beds will be at the East and the oldest beds will be at the West.
Explanation:
Because the Sun still rises on the East.
Hydrothermal Vents occur along divergent plate boundaries on the ocean floor. Hydrothermal vent systems give off plumes of hot, mineral-laden water with temperatures as high as 350 degrees Celcius. The water is ejected through a spout known as black smokers. Metal-rich minerals precipitate out of the circling sea water and forms ores of copper, zinc and iron.
It’s a gulf, a bay is a small body of water between 3 parts of land. Think of the Gulf of Mexico, it is enclosed by three sides of land. Therefore, it is a gulf.
Answer:
In the exceptionally cold winter of 1997, Lake Superior froze over between the Wisconsin mainland and Isle Royale. A pack of 8 wolves crossed the ice and reached Isle Royale, an island where they encountered a population of about a dozen wolves. It is estimated that the wolf population on Isle Royale has been isolated for over 100 years (~10 generations). The pack of 8 wolves that crossed the ice would be referred to as <u>founder population</u> and if the wolves interbreed with the island population, <u>genetic drift</u> will occur.
Explanation:
The founder effect occurs when a portion of a population (i-e the founders) separates from the old population to start a new population with different allele frequencies. Hence the pack of 8 wolves that crossed the ice would be referred to as <u>founder population</u> in the given scenario.
Genetic drift is defined as change in the allele frequencies in a population due to chance event. As in the given scenario, the pack of 8 wolves that crossed the ice, interbreed with the island population, thus change in the allelle frequency is occuring in the population , hence <u>genetic drift</u> will occur.
