Is the Hawaiian islands convergent?
Convergent
What are convergent boundary mountains?
Convergent boundary mountains are mountains formed by convergent boundaries.
The boundary formed between 2 plates that are colliding?
a mountain forms
What 3 collisions occur at a convergent boundary?
Oceanic-continental convergent boundary, Oceanic-oceanic convergent boundary, and Continental-continental convergent boundary.
What type of boundary is paricutin on divergent or convergent?
convergent
What is the difference between evolution and convergent evolution?
Evolution is the general theory itself, by which organisms change and adapt over time. Convergent evolution is a specific proces in which similar traits appear in unrelated organisms. For example, insects and birds both have wings but the two evolved independent of each other. That's convergent evolution.
What is an example of convergent evolution in the tundra?
Convergent evolution is said to have occurred when species which are very different from one another have developed very similar traits. This type of evolution is said to happen as a result of having to adapt to specific environments, such as a tundra. An example of convergent evolution in the tundra is the arctic fox.
What are some similarities in divergent and convergent evolution?
The adaptive traits that arise through convergent evolution are called analogous. These are the same adaptive solutions that arise in different organisms facing very similar environmental challenges and having analogous mutations to come to similar traits through natural selection. Wings in birds, bats and insects are examples of this.
Why are physical similarities among species not always the result of being related?
because unrelated species can evolve similar traits through convergent evolution.
Why are physical similarities among species not always the result of being closely related?
because unrelated species can evolve similar traits through convergent evolution.
What are 2 different convergent boundaries?
Convergent collision and convergent subduction. Convergent collision collides and forms mountains. Convergent subduction subducts and forms trenches.
Is the Hawaiian islands convergent?
Convergent
What are convergent boundary mountains?
Convergent boundary mountains are mountains formed by convergent boundaries.
How do organisms that are not related now appear similar?
This is called analogous traits. When two different types of organisms are in the same type of environment, usually geographically separated, they come up with very similar adaptions to their local environment.
What is the plate boundary of the aleutian trench?
Convergent boundary Convergent boundary
Where two plates move side by side?
Convergent Boundary.
The boundary formed between 2 plates that are colliding?
a mountain forms
