The Gros Morne National Park is world renowned for being one of the few places on earth in which geologists can studied the upper mantle directly! It also illustrates the concept of plate tectonics‚ the evolution of ancient mountain ranges and justifying why Canada has the most diverse land

Pervious studies focused on natural selection by predation being a strong contributing factor of polymorphic color distribution in a population. While there is some truth in this model‚ it may overlook the importance that sexual selection plays‚ as will be depicted in the following examples. Many examples demonstrate that animals in a particular species tend to mate with individuals that share similar color patterns‚ in fact it is rare to see individuals with dissimilar color patterns mate.

The Earth is always forming and releasing pressure in different ways. Sometimes the Earth’s mantle builds up so much pressure that it starts to shift tectonic plates‚ and due to this we can see changes on our surface as well. We experience big changes like volcanoes‚ earthquakes‚ trembles‚ and continental drift‚ but a few minor things happen as well. Some of these minor results can include geysers and fumaroles. A fumarole is a very important formation that is needed to release pressure from deep

Describe the regional variations in the climatic conditions of India with the help of suitable examples. Despite the overall unity accorded by the monsoon‚ there are visible regional variations in climatic conditions within India. Regardless of the moderating influences of the Himalayas in the north and the sea in the south‚ variations do exist in temperature‚ humidity and precipitation. For example‚ in summer‚ some parts of the Rajasthan desert‚ in north-western India‚ record temperatures of 50°C
