Explain the importance of regulatory mechanisms in living things?
They keep environments relatively stable and maintained between certain limits.
What is the difference between crossbreeding and inbreeding?
Inbreeding refers to breeding between (relatively) closely related individuals of one species. crossbreeding is commonly used to refer to breeding between different breeds of dog. Hope that helped. (I got this from a different site)
Rainforests are located in the latitudes that have the classification?
Rainforests can be located near the equator between the Tropic of Cancer at 23.5 degrees north latitude and the Tropic of Capricorn at 23.5° south latitude. Rainforests are wet forests. They are very warm and dense.
What is the difference between male and female hamsters?
well - one is a female and one is a male !
Can goats get sick from cows?
There are a few diseases that can hop from cattle to goats, but they are relatively few. For the most part, you can pasture goats and cattle together and not worry about disease transmission between the two.
What is the name of the winds between the poles and the equator?
I believe it's Doldrums, Trade Winds, Horse Latitudes, and West Easterlies
What are pressure belts wind?
There are many wind belts. Doldrums receive the most heat from the Sun. Trade winds extends past the doldrums 30 degrees. Horse latitudes is a wind belt that forms between 30 degrees north and south latitude.
What is the difference between doldrums and horse and latitudes?
Doldrums are the imaginary regions extending up to 15 Deg Northward and 10 Deg Southward from the Equator. The Equator is 0 Deg Latitude. Hence the Doldrum region is commonly referred to as the region between 15 Deg North & 10 Deg South Latitudes. Doldrums are regions of Low Pressure, as they are more close to the Equator, where the Sun's vertical rays fall directly. Hence the air envelope around the Equator gets heated and rises vertically upwards (air current), there by creating a Low pressure region around the Equator, extending up to the Doldrums.Horse Latitudes are imaginary regions on 30 Deg North & 30 Deg South Latitudes. These are regions of High Pressures, and hence also called Sub-Tropical High Pressure Belts. It got the name "Horse" latitudes because, the sailors in ancient times (when boats were of the Mast-type, which gets carried along the wind direction) emptied the Horses they were carrying on board to the sea, so as to reduce the weight of the vessel and to keep it afloat )along the direction of the Trade winds). The winds blowing in the region between the Horse latitude & the Doldrum is called Trade Winds.
What are the characteristics of the doldrums and why do they occur?
The high solar intensity at equatorial latitudes causes intense heating at the equator, which produces powerful convection currents called Prevailing Winds. The Doldrums are where the prevailing winds at the Equator die.
What zone on earth has the most variation between seasons equatorial latitudes subtropical latitudes intermediate latitudes polar latitudes or all have an equal amount of change between seasons?
latitude
What's the area between the trade-winds that has no wind?
doldrums.
What longitudes and latitudes is Afghanistan between?
to the nearest minute between longitudes 60e31 & 74e53 & between latitudes 29n22 & 38n29
The Virgo constellation is visible between what latitudes?
The constellation Virgo is visible at latitudes between +80° and −80°.
Which degrees mark the northern latitudes?
Northern latitudes are the latitudes between zero and 90° North ... that is, everything between the equator and the north pole, the region referred to as the "northern Hemisphere".
What are windless zones near the equator?
The doldrums are the belts of calms or very light winds between the northern and southern trade winds of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
What are the latitudes of the taiga?
The taiga biome is generally found between latitudes 50° and 65° N in the Northern Hemisphere, and 50° and 65° S in the Southern Hemisphere. This corresponds to regions like northern North America, Scandinavia, and parts of Siberia.
Where are the temperate?
In geography the temperate latitudes of the globe lie between the tropics and the polar circles. These regions have a summer and winter that are generally relatively moderate, rather than extremely hot or cold.
