jet fuel

Question 59

a new algae species.

the Nile crocodile.

the Nile perch.

a fish hawk.

The Coriolis Effect

It is the will of the force

The tilt of the Earth s axis from the sun

The length of the Earth s rotation

Earthquakes and tsunamis in Japan

Explanation / Answer

51.

The tilt of the Earth s axis from the sun causes the solar heating of Earth to have seasonal variations

52.

Late age of first reproduction is a character of k-selected population. k-selected polpulation tend to have longer life span, produces a limited number of offsprings and provide extensive parental care.

53.

Immigration, along with birth results in a growth of the population.

54.

False. zero population growth means no net population growth. if the death rate is high in a population, a mere replacment reproduction will not lead to a zero population growth.

55.

The Natural Farming and Back-to-the-Land Association was founded in 1927 in Germany.

56.

One of the greatest expanses of plastic debris has collected in the North Pacific gyre

57.

Genetic drift is more likely to have an impact on small metapopulations

58.

jet fuel

59.

The various endemic cichlid species of Lake Victoria have suffered losses in their population numbers and species due to the introduction of predatory Nile perch.
