British Columbia’s costal forests are best known for being __________.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: British Columbia's coastal forests are best known for “the lungs of the earth”. The coastal rainforests have a remarkable biological richness and store huge amounts of carbon which are a key asset in the fight against the so called climate change. Conservation measures have been a priority to prevent extinction.
Answer 2

Why must countries trade with each other

Answers

Countries trade with one another to receive a variety of items, therefore, the markets have many different brands to sell, and the customers have many choices. Also because some countries do not have the resources and need them, so they trade some of their unique resources with another countries resources. 
Countries must trade with each other in order to gain resources that they don't have. Look at petroleum for an example. Americans have excavated all the oil that's in the states, but since we rely so heavily on gasoline to simply function, we buy and trade with the middle east for the petroleum they have there. That's why its so important to keep good relations with the Middle East simply because we rely so heavily on them for this good.

draw the global meteoric water line, including the proper slope and intercept. whichends are typical of warm and moist areas? which are typical of dry, colder areas?

Answers

The global meteoric water line (GMWL) is a linear relationship that describes the isotopic composition of precipitation (meteoric water) in various regions of the world. It is represented by the equation:

δD = 8 * δ18O + 10

In this equation, δD represents the deuterium excess, and δ18O represents the isotopic composition of oxygen-18 in meteoric water.

Warm and Moist Areas: In warm and moist regions, such as tropical rainforests, you typically find precipitation falling on the lower-left end of the GMWL because both δD and δ18O values are relatively high. The warm temperatures contribute to higher values.

Dry, Colder Areas: Dry and colder regions, like polar areas or high mountainous regions, tend to have precipitation falling on the upper-right end of the GMWL, as both δD and δ18O values are relatively low. The cold temperatures and lower humidity contribute to these lower values.

The GMWL helps scientists understand the sources and processes influencing the isotopic composition of meteoric water in different climatic regions.

Natural causes.

Explanation:

  • Most of them are the natural cases like the poor soil fertility, deforestation, and overgrazing by animals, drought is one of the natural calamities that affect the lands most and is climatic variation and increase of the human actives, the vulnerability of the ecosystem and the semi-arid and arid soil.

A state agency has contacted you to do a scientific assessment of kudzu in a nature preserve in southern Georgia. They are concerned about the effects of the non-native invasive vine on a small rare plant that grows on the forest floor in the preserve, but which is found nowhere else in the state. Kudzu is only growing in the east side of the preserve because it hasn't yet had time to invade further. In order to assess the effects of kudzu on the rare plant, you set up the following experiment: Site 1. On the east side of the park with the kudzu, you set up ten 1m x 1m plots on the forest floor. In each plot, you count the number of individuals of the rare plant.
Site 2. On the west side of the park without the kudzu, you set up ten 1m x 1m plots of the forest floor. In each plot you count the number of individuals of the rare plant.
In this experiment, Site 2 is your:

a) variable.
b) control.
c) replication.
d) hypothesis.

Answers

Answer:

Control

Explanation:

The west side of the park as a control for the experiment because it will show the rare plants species without the kudzu. I the experiment was only done in areas with Kudzu and the scientist found that there were 3 rare species than then how would they know it this was more or less normal? Also, how would the scientist know if was the kudzu that caused the change? The west side experiment helps to answer those questions. If 3 rare species were also found on the west then we would not see any connections between kudzu and the species.
