Trade winds blow in a curved path toward the equator in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. How do normal trade wind patterns change the weather of islands near the equator? Trade winds blow cooler, gentler winds toward the islands.

Trade winds blow colder, heavier winds toward the islands.

Trade winds blow drier, more constant winds toward the islands.

Trade winds blow warmer, more unpredictable winds toward the islands.

Ry was studying two populations of the same species of lizards. one population lived on an island and the other lived on the mainland. both populations were affected by a hurricane that hit the island and the mainland with equal force. a year later, henry was testing the gene frequency and saw a decrease in genetic variation in the island species, but not in the mainland species. which best describes a conclusion he might have reached? gene flow greatly affects small populations, but large populations can recover. genetic drift greatly affects small populations, but large populations can recover. gene flow greatly affects large populations, but small populations can recover. genetic drift greatly affects large populations, but small populations can recover.
