Hide Assignment Information Instructions INSTRUCTIONS You are bird hunting moths (both dark and light) that live on trees. As you capture the moths most easily visible against the tree surface, the moth populations change, illustrating the effects of natural selection. In this Lab, you will: Predict the color of moth that will survive better on various colors of tree trunks. Understand how camouflage can promote survival. Explain the process of natural selection.

The theory of natural selection suggests that some members of the population of species have better advantage of others for survival in terms of better phenotypic traits.

Explanation:

According to the given situation, the moths which have color that remain undetected by me as bird has a phenotypic advantage. As I may not be able to observe them on tree trunk or bark or on leaves I can eat only those moths that can be seen through my eyes. I can capture them easily. Such moths which can change their colors in accordance with the color of the tree can camouflage me easily and I cannot observe them and consume them. This promotes their survival over those detectable moths.

answer:

convection currents in the magma drive plate tectonics. heat generated from the radioactive decay of elements deep in the interior of the earth creates magma (molten rock) in the aesthenosphere. the aesthenosphere (70 ~ 250 km) is part of the mantle, the middle sphere of the earth that extends to 2900 km.
