Suppose climate change leads to a rapid warming of the climate in a
particular area with mountains. Predict two effects on a species adapted to the climate at a middle elevation in the mountains.
Answer:
Adaptation interms of skin color. Eating habits and good in taking shelter.
Explanation:
Climate change can lead to alterations in the patterns of species adaptation to living in mountainous regions of the world. The changing environment is expected to create stress and will make them migrate in the search of food and water. The altitude zonation in a mountain includes the natural layering of the ecosystem to indicate varying environmental conditions. It also occurs in shore lands and wetlands.Two drums of the same size and height are taken.

What is the role of language according to "If Black English Isn't a Language, Then Tell Me, What Is?" Select all that apply.
Hello, you have not presented your answer options. However, when searching for your question on the internet, I was able to find another question exactly like yours that had the answer options. In that case, I hope the answer below can help you.
The correct options are: "to define the other," "to reveal the speaker" and "to control circumstances."
According to the sentence shown above, language has the role of defining the other because the sentence shows that a black speaker is defined by the type of language he emits, however, this language is imported by the white speaker, who determines what is allowed or not.
Language also has the power to reveal the speaker because black speakers who use Black English will be victims of intolerance and repression by white speakers who disregard Black English as a language.
Finally, language has the duty to control circumstances because language must be used to determine the reality in which each individual lives. When a black speaker is prohibited from using the kind of English that determines his reality, he is prevented from relating the language to his personal life.
Cause of the Seasons. Suppose a friend is trying to claim that it is summer when Earth is closest to the Sun and winter when Earth is farthest away. Refute this claim in at least two different ways: (1) with an argument that invokes seasonal differences between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres and (2) with an argument based on the times of year at which Earth actually is closest to and farthest from the Sun. Write out your arguments clearly
Answer:
The claim is false and can be refuted
Explanation:
1) This claim is false, that there is summer when Earth is closest to the sun and winter when the Earth is farthest from the sun.
If it is so, than why seasons are Opposite in two hemispheres. It is summer in the Northern Hemisphere, when it is winter in the southern hemisphere. Alternatively it is Winter in the northern hemisphere, while it is summer in the southern hemisphere.
If the seasons occured due to the distance from, sun, then it should be same season in both the hemispheres, when Earth is farthest and closest from the Sun. Why are seasons different in both hemispheres. So this claim is false.
2) This claim is false, because actually Earth is closest to the Sun on January 3-4, when it is Winter in Northern Hemisphere and summer in Southern hemisphere. So why it is not Summer in both hemispheres, since the Earth is closest to the Sun.
Earth is farthest from the Sun on July 4, which is actually summer in Northern Hemisphere and winter in Southern hemisphere. So why is it not winter in both the hemispheres, since the Earth is Farthest from the Sun.
Hence based on these two arguments, the claim is false and can be refuted.
what is it called when people or businesses move to an area to invest money in housing and services, which in turn creates more jobs and attracts more people?
Answer:
Gentrification.
Explanation:
Gentrification is the renewal and rebuilding of the urban environment, which takes place when wealthier middle-class people move to declining areas, displacing the lower-class people there. As a result of gentrification, the average family income in the community increases and the number of members decreases. This is believed to be due to the departure of poorer residents who are unable to pay the increased rent and other real estate and land taxes. Old industrial buildings are often converted into dwellings and shops. In addition, new stores and service facilities are moving to the area, serving a wider customer base. This in turn increases the attractiveness of the region for more affluent immigrants and reduces accessibility for the poorer. This process is often made possible by government-funded investments to improve local infrastructure, mortgages for poor and first-time home buyers, and financial bonuses for owners of dilapidated houses. Following the implementation of these economic measures, crime in the area tends to decrease and real estate prices and tax revenues rise.
Under different headings explain the impact and mitigation techniques of 1. Earthquake 2. Landslides 3. Tsunamis 4. Floods 5. Droughts
Answer:
The impact and mitigation techniques are the following:
Explanation:
1. Earthquake: Earthquake cause severe damage to the building and infrastructure that leads to high deaths of people and losses to property. It can be mitigate by making more strong infrastructure and avoid making building in those region where earthquakes occurs.
2. Landslides: It also cause high damage to the soil as well as to the people by killing them. Vegetative cover and growing of trees on the edges of lands can reduce its frequency.
3. Tsunamis: It causes severe damage to the coastal regions and cause damage to the property as well as to the people. The damages can be reduced by making strong wall in the coastal regions. Vertical evacuation to existing natural high ground, tsunami-resistant structures are also mitigating techniques.
4. Floods: It causes great damages to both property, land and people. It can be reduces by making dams as well as reduce pollution that cause global warming.
5. Droughts: It can reduce the crop productivity of an area. Crop rotation. Contoured row crops, Terracing and Tillage practices are the mitigating techniques used for drought.

necesito ayuda en esto, A lo largo de los últimos años, distintos actores han cuestionado a la globalización conformando un Movimiento Antiglobalización. Mencionar quienes conforman este movimiento y cuáles son sus críticas.
alguien lo sabe??
Answer:
El movimiento altersistema, y en ocasiones llamado como altermundismo o movimiento antiglobalización , es un amplio conjunto de movimientos sociales formado por activistas provenientes de distintas corrientes políticas, que a finales del siglo XX convergieron en la crítica social al proceso de globalización.
Existe cierta controversia sobre el término que define a este movimiento. Muchos de sus partidarios prefieren el término «altermundismo» o «alterglobalización», para evitar definirse por oposición, y porque el término «antiglobalización» daría una imagen imprecisa y negativa. El nombre altermundismo proviene precisamente del lema Otro mundo es posible, es un movimiento social heterogéneo compuesto por simpatizantes de muy variados perfiles, que proponen que la globalización y el desarrollo humano se basen en prioridad en los valores sociales y ambientales, en oposición a quienes los centran en el neoliberalismo económico, nacido en el Foro Social Mundial,[1] que cada año reúne a movimientos sociales de cientos de países del mundo.
El antiglobalismo acusa al actual proceso de globalización de beneficiar a las grandes multinacionales y a los países más ricos[2] acentuando la precarización del trabajo, y consolidando un modelo de desarrollo económico injusto e insostenible. También lo acusa de socavar la capacidad democrática de los Estados, entre otros aspectos negativos.[3][4][5]

Desafortunadamente, se te olvidó mencionar cuál es el problema. Si no sabemos cuál es el problema, ¿cómo te ayudamos a escribir la carta?
Sin embargo, tratando de ayudarte, hicimos una exhaustiva investigación y encontramos una pregunta similar en la que el problema son las inundaciones en tu colonia.
De ser así, entonces la carta sería la siguiente.
Sistema de Agua de la Ciudad.
Presente.
Estimados señores,
Por este conducto me permito expresar mi preocupación por las continuas inundaciones que se presentan en esta temporada de lluvias en el centro de la ciudad.
Sabemos que cada año sucede lo mismo, y un grupo de vecinos estamos preocupados por la situación ya que esas inundaciones provocan daños a nuestras casas, echando a perder muebles y varias posesiones de valor.
En años anteriores hemos insistido en que e sistema de alcantarillado y las tuberías son muy viejas y nunca se han hecho trabajos de reparaciones.
Por lo anterior, les vuelvo a solicitar de la manera más atenta que inicien pronto los trabajos de desazolve y reparación de tuberías dañadas porque el problema de inundación es recurrente.
Recordemos que el centro de la ciudad también es un sitio turístico. Y damos mala imagen a los turistas que nos vienen a visitar por el grado de inundación y encharcamiento de las calles.
Les agradezco su ayuda, y en espera de su amable respuesta, quedo a sus ordenes.

Although freshwater biomes cover less than 1% of the Earth's surface, they are important because ________.
Explanation:
we depend on them for drinking water
they are home to lots of species
they are the source of our irrigation for agriculture
All of the above are reasons why freshwater biomes are important.
Although freshwater biomes cover less than 1% of the Earth's surface, they are important because fresh water is the lifeblood of our planet they are the source of our irrigation for agriculture , are home to lots of species, we humans depend on them for drinking.
What is need to conserve freshwater?Fresh water is any naturally occurring liquid or frozen water containing low concentrations of dissolved salts and other total dissolved solids.
Fresh water is vital to life and yet it is a finite resource. Although critical to natural and human communities, fresh water is threatened by a myriad of forces including overdevelopment, polluted runoff and global warming.
With this in mind, WWF partners with communities, businesses and others to decrease pollution, increase water efficiency and protect natural areas to ensure enough clean water exists to conserve wildlife and provide a healthy future for all.
