Explain what scientists mean by biodiversity?
They mean that biodiversity is an important thing for a habitat.So, better not try to copy this dude.
How would you explain a species that remains the same for millions of years?
This can happen by certain species already well adapted to their environment, such as certain fish and so on... OR. Species have had the perfect enviorment for them to live in! AP BIOLOGY!
Was there water accessible in medieval times explain?
There were natural springs, streams, and rivers as there are today, but things did change in the middle ages. One issue on water in the middle ages has to do with the fact that artesian wells were first developed in that time. Another was that windmills were developed that made pumping water possible. These technologies increased the amount of water for agriculture in many places.
Does the Post- industrial society differ from the industrial society explain?
Post industrial societies are dominated by computer based information technology; they continue to have the industry that developed in the previous industrial society, although it is often outsourced to other countries.
How do scientists explain the arrangement of continents today?
By using the theory of plate tectonics and continental drift.
Did scientists reject the theory of continental drift because the theory failed to explain why rocks on different continents looked the same?
yes
Why were Wegener's ideas not immediately accepted by the scientific community?
He could not explain why the continents drifted.
Why did most scientists originally reject the theory of continental drift?
Most scientists originally reject the theory of continental drift since it did clearly explain continents would move. This is a theory that has been established by Wegener and did not get good support initially.
Briefly explain how improvements in microscopes may have benefited scientists?
It has benefited scientists, as Ernst Ruska developed on the electron microscope, improving on the resolution. This is how he discovered Viruses and Molecules. Frits Zernike invented a microscope to study transparent and colourless specimens
How did wegner explain fossils on different continents?

How do you explain What Happens When continents Collide?
when continents collide you bum your pet hamster
Most scientists rejected wegner's theory of continental drift because the theory failed to explain?
Wegener's theory didn't explain how the continents could plow through the solid rock of the sea floor, and he was unable to give a convincing explanation of what force could move entire continents.
How did Wegner's explain similar fossils on different continents?
By boook
Why was Wegeners hypothesis rejected by most scientists of his day?
Wegener made a strong case for continental drift as you may know. E.g. similar rock strata on opposing continents, similar fossil types located in geographically distant regions, evidence of glaciation and the general jig-saw fit of the continents. He could not explain however how the continents moved, that is, what force was acting on them and causing them to drift. He suggested that a combination of centrifugal force from the Earth's rotation and gravitational forces from objects in space (similar to what causes tides) moved the continents. Calculations proved this to be impossible. Since he could not explain the mechanism because little about plate tectonics was known at the time, his ideas were not widely accepted in the scientific community.
What theory was advanced to explain why researchers that there were a number of centers that dealt with language in the left cerebral hemisphere and not the right?
The theory of lateralization was developed to explain this phenomenon. The fields of brain study are always changing as scientists and psychologists learn more and more about how the brain functions.
