Deforestation Although we are making some strides toward sustainable forestry, we are stil deforesting 13 million hectares (32 million acres) globally each year. When balanced against forest regrowth, this deforestation gives us an annual net loss of 7.3 milion hectares (18 million acres). While deforestation has a number of causes, there are steps we can take to reduce the loss of forests and the consequences of deforestation The following answers for the Causes and Consequences features are examples and are not intended to represent a comprehensive list. In addition, the sequence of items is not meant to connote relative importance. Sort the examples below into the appropriate bin substitution of other materials for wood products soil erosion growing demand for wood products increased tree planting change in hydrologic cycle with more surface runofl subsistence grazing recycling of paper products expansion of farming decreased carbon Causes Consequences Solutions

the two answers are a, the population of birds with large beaks will increase on the island, and c, the trait for large beaks will be passed on to future generations through natural selection. the reason for that is because if the birds that have beaks developed for eating small seeds lose all of their food, they will go hungry and eventually starve because they physically cannot eat the large seeds, therefore making the population of large beaked birds higher. also, if the trait of large beaks are dominant on the island over small beaks, then over time the large beaked birds will reproduce more and more, while the smaller beaked birds will reproduce less and less because they can't survive with the food provided. that leads to the trait of small beaks disappearing and the trait of large beaks taking over the island.

homeostasis is the tendency towards a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes. and this is how it applies to the integumentary system. back to top. skin functions in homeostasis include protection, regulation of body temperature, sensory reception, water balance, synthesis of vitamins and hormones, and absorption of materials. when body temperature falls, the sweat glands constrict and sweat production decreases.
