The correct option is (B) Linnaeus.

Binomial nomenclature is the system of scientifically naming the living organisms by a binomial name containing two parts. Carolus Linnaeus or Carl Linnaeus, a swedish Botanist and a Zoologist introduced the formal system of naming living organisms by defining the terms "genus" and "species" of an organism in his work called the "<em>Species plantarum</em>" in 1753.

Species refers to the group of similar organisms capable of interbreeding among themselves. Any two organisms of this group can produce a fertile organism through the process of sexual reproduction. Genus refers to the taxonomic category above the species and below the family consisting of one or more species.

The currently used binomial nomenclature was developed by Carl Linnaeus. According to this system, the basic rules in naming an organism scientifically should abide to the following rules.

(1) The binomial name of an organism is divided into two parts called the generic name (genus) and the specific name (species).

(2) The first letter of the generic name should be in capital letter and the first letter of the specific name should be in small letter.

(3) The scientific name should be italicized or underlined, if hand written.

John Ray proposed the concept of species and the classification of plants based on the number of cotyledons and other anatomical characteristics. Aristotle developed the first system of classification of animals. Hence, it is Linnaeus who developed the binomial nomenclature which is currently used.

The correct answer is option b. Carolus Linnaeus.

The binomial nomenclature also known as binary nomenclature refers to a general system of naming species of living things by providing each a name comprising of two parts, in this Latin grammatical words are used.

Such a name is known as a binomial name or a scientific name. The initial part of the name demonstrates the genus to which belongs the genus, while the second part; the specific name demonstrates the species within the genus.

Hi there!

\large\boxed{\text{The first choice.}}

Kinetic Energy (1/2 · mass · velocity²) occurs when an object is in motion, or a force is occurring on the object. An example would be a car in motion.

Potential energy (mass · height · gravity ) is obtained when an object has the ability to do work. An example would be an object on a shelf. It has the potential to fall, and this would cause the potential energy to become converted into kinetic energy.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Looking at the examples in the table,  we can sort them as such:

Girl swimming laps- Kinetic energy because the girl is in motion.

Boy on diving board - Potential energy because the boy is not in motion, but has the potential to be in motion.

Girl hitting volleyball - Kinetic energy because the volleyball is in motion.

Boy holding volleyball- Potential energy because the volleyball is stationary and has the potential to be in motion.

Therefore, the correct table is table 1.

liq [111]
Prominent sea-level changes and climate fluctuations occurred during the past 103-105 years. Sea level changes strongly influence river behaviour and coastal development. Climate changes affect the discharge and sediment load characteristics of rivers and also the development of a protective vegetation cover that stabilises the landscape. Changes in sea level and/or climate induce changes in river type, channel pattern and sediment sequences. Climate changes during the (recent) Quaternary had a particularly strong impact. In (now) temperate regions, glacial climate was much drier and colder than today. Wet-tropical areas were drier as well. A belt of permafrost surrounded the large continental ice sheets and sea levels were some 120 m and perhaps even 135 m lower than today. There are strong indications that mass wasting processes such as frost weathering<span> and </span>`gelifluction'<span> in high-relief areas were more prominent than today and that consequently the sediment loads of rivers were greater than at present. Once most of the Pleistocene ice cover had disappeared, some 6,000 years ago, the rate of sea level rise decreased and coasts adapted to the higher sea level. Today, (Pleistocene) glaciers that have long disappeared still influence some 15 percent of the land surface. It is impossible to understand the complexity of `landforms in lowlands' without referring to their present climate </span>and<span> their climatic history.</span>

Answer:

By researching, I would think that the answer is D. Ice crystals melt as they fall through a warm layer of air and then refreeze into small ice pellets as they pass through a colder layer of air.

Explanation:

<em>During precipitation formation, if temperatures are at or below freezing, 0°C (32°F), at cloud level, water in the air freezes into ice crystals, and the crystals stick together to make snow. The snow starts to fall, and if the air column is freezing cold all the way down from the clouds to the ground, the precipitation stays frozen. It simply falls as snow.</em>

<em />

<em>Sometimes, however, a temperature inversion occurs. Normally, the temperature decreases with increasing altitude. A temperature inversion is when a layer of warm air intrudes between the ground and the clouds.</em>

<em />

<em>Under these conditions, when the falling snow reaches the layer of warm air, it melts. Then it hits the layer of cold air just above Earth’s surface and refreezes. This all happens very fast, and the result is tiny ice pellets called sleet.</em>
