Catastrophism is the theory that the Earth has largely been shaped by sudden, short-lived, violent events, possibly worldwide in scope.[1] This is in contrast to uniformitarianism (sometimes described as gradualism), in which slow incremental changes, such as erosion, created all the Earth's geological features. The proponents of uniformitarianism held that the present was the key to the past, and that all geological processes (such as erosion) throughout the past were like those that can be observed now. Since the early disputes, a more inclusive and integrated view of geologic events has developed, in which the scientific consensus accepts that there were some catastrophic events in the geologic past, but these were explicable as extreme examples of natural processes which can occur.
Answer:
This question lacks options, the options are:
A) symbiosis
B) ecosystem
C) community
D) population
E) biosphere
The answer is D) Population
Explanation:
Living organisms in an ecosystem are usually found in numbers living together in a given area. This is termed POPULATION in ecology. A population refers to the group of living organisms that belongs to the same species living together in the same habitat and have the ability to interbreed i.e. mate and reproduce with one another.
This is the case in this question where many sandhill cranes (large flying birds) were observed in a particular area, which represented their habitat. Asides the group of sandhill cranes living together, they were also observed to be interbreeding. This was evident in the observation of two sandhill cranes hopping up and down around their bright orange baby. This shows that members of the population are capable of mating and reproducing fertile offsprings.
This observation completes what a POPULATION is all about, hence, a population was observed.
If purple is dominant, the genotype of the purple flower could be PP or Pp, as both would give a purple colour. However, if the crossed flower turned out to be white, we could say with certainty that the genotype of the purple flower is Pp as the genotype of the white crossed flower would be pp, which would not be possible if the purple flower's genotype was PP.
Answer:
Longest interval during which no tree-cutting sample occurred: 9 years (1203 AD - 1212 AD)
First year in that interval: 1203 AD
Explanation:
Lets complete the question first.
Q) A study uses tree rings to determine the year in which a tree was cut. The data is shown in the leaf and stem diagram in the ATTACHMENT.
The three digits number in the left column represents centuries and decades AD. The numbers on the right represents the years.
For example, consider the first input in the diagram
119 | 5 6
which means it represents 2 samples.
1195 AD, 1196 AD.
The longest interval with no tree-cutting samples is found from 1203 AD to 1212 AD.
