Scientists have a theory about the relationship between climate and biodiversity. which best describes this theory? warmer climates promote higher biodiversity, allowing plants to grow year-round. this supports more organisms that rely on plants. colder climates promote higher biodiversity, reducing the competition among organisms for food. this supports stronger organisms that live longer. warmer climates promote higher biodiversity because they tend to receive more rainfall. this provides a source of water for more organisms. colder climates promote higher biodiversity because they are usually larger in size. this provides space for more organisms.

Warmer climates promote higher biodiversity because they tend to receive more rainfall. This provides a source of water for more organisms.

Explanation:

A biodiversity can be define as the variability in the forms of life located in a region. The variability can be measured at different levels such as ecosystem, species and genetic levels. The biodiversity of the region is affected by the climatic change.

The warmer climates usually promote more diversity as compared to colder climates. In warmer climates the chances of getting proper precipitation in terms of rainfall is prominent as a result of this the organisms get more water to survive. For example, the terrestrial biodiversity is expected to be more near the equator due to warm climates and high in primary productivity.

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it
