noah created a model of a glacier to help explain how glaciers change the surface of Earth. He froze two large blocks of ice. On

e block was pure water. The pther was water mixed with sand and rocks. He took both blocks and rubbed them across a sheet of tinfoil. The block of pure water slid smoothly over the tinfoil. The block with sand and rocks ripped the tinfoil in many places. How does Noah's model explain how glaciers change Earths surface?

Answer: The model is depicting the glacier erosion.

Explanation:

The glaciers are responsible for causing erosion of the earth. They transport the materials away from the locations were they are earlier situated. They carve the materials present beneath the land. They erode the materials like soil, pebbles, boulders, against the pressure of the unstable mass of the ice moving down the slope. The broken ice mass carriers away the broken rocks, materials and soil debris far away from the places where they have been originally situated. This causes the glacial erosion. Also the broken and displaced rocks displace the soil and other materials come in contact with during erosion.

According to the given situation, the ice formed with water only had no impact on the tinfoil on the other hand the ice containing the sand and rocks removed the tinfoil from places. This is because of the friction created by the sand and rocks on the tinfoil. The glacier material like ice, soil, rocks due to friction erode the material come in contact with it with an appreciable pressure underneath.

As a mechanism of evolution, natural selection can be most closely equated with UNEQUAL REPRODUCTIVE SUCCESS.

Mechanism of evolution refers to micro-evolution that involves mutation, gene flow and natural selection. Unequal reproductive success is also related to other processes of micro evolution such as natural selection. The organisms that can reproduce unequally and survive even in adverse condition, increase in numbers.

Answer:

The rock pocket mice rely on their fur color for camouflage. So, on the tan sand more light colored mice will survive because they blend in and on the dark lava rock more dark colored mice will survive and the allele for dark fur will be passed on to their offspring

A red supergiant star is ten times more massive than the sun. What would be the likely impact on the motion of Earth if the sun
Nitella [24]
<span>Expanding red giant stars will swallow too-close planets. In the solar system, the sun will engulf Mercury and Venus, and may devour Earth, as well. So logically concluding, the answer must be that it would devour the planets whole, and there will be no rotation, (assuming this is a trick question)</span>
