The impacts that volcanoes can have on the weather can extend well beyond the eruption site; they ____ one of the largest drivers of climate change over geological timescales.
The vast majority of the 65,500 ____ tons of carbon on Earth is held within rocks.
The remainder resides in the oceans, ____ plants, soil and fossil fuels.
Carbon dioxide inside Earth is released continually during volcanic eruptions, and before the Industrial Revolution volcanoes were the largest source of carbon dioxide entering Earth’s ____
However, the release of carbon is largely regulated by the natural carbon cycle, which draws down as much carbon from the atmosphere as volcanoes ____ into it, acting as a planetary scale thermostat.
If temperatures increase due to a period of intense volcanism, more carbon will be drawn down from the atmosphere, which will ____ temperatures back to their previous levels.
____ given the slow rate of some of these chemical reactions it can take hundreds of thousands of years for the system to stabilize.
8 음반을 통한 음악 전수
Ignacio Varchausky from the Buenos Aires tango orchestra El Arranque says in the documentary Si Sos Brujo that he and others tried learning from records how the older orchestras ____ what they did, but it was difficult, almost impossible.
Eventually, El Arranque had to find ____ surviving players from those ensembles and ask them how it was done.
The older players had to physically show the ____ players how to replicate the effects they got, and which notes and beats should be emphasized.
So, to some extent, music is still an oral (and physical) tradition, handed ____ from one person to another.
Records may do a lot ____ preserve music and disseminate it, but they can’t do what direct transmission does.
In that same documentary, Wynton Marsalis says that the learning, the baton passing, happens ____ the bandstand — one has to play with others, to learn by watching and imitating.
For Varchausky, ____ those older players are gone, the traditions (and techniques) will be lost if their knowledge is not passed on directly.
History and culture ____ really be preserved by technology alone.
9 의사소통 목적에 따른 적절한 기술 사용
Teams have many ____ technologies at their disposal, ranging from email and chat platforms to web conferencing and videoconferencing.
People often default to using the tool ____ is most convenient or familiar to them, but some technologies are better suited to certain tasks than others, and choosing the wrong one can lead to trouble.
Communication tools differ along a number of dimensions, including information richness (or ____ capacity to transfer nonverbal and other cues that help people interpret meaning) and the level of real-time interaction that is possible.
A team’s communication tasks likewise vary in complexity, depending on the need to reconcile different viewpoints, give and receive feedback, or ____ the potential for misunderstanding.
The purpose of the communication ____ determine the delivery mechanism.
So carefully consider your ____
Use leaner, text-based media such as email, chat, and bulletin boards ____ pushing information in one direction — for instance, when circulating routine information and plans, sharing ideas, and collecting simple data.
Web conferencing and videoconferencing are richer, more interactive tools better suited to complex tasks such as problem solving and negotiation, which require ____ different ideas and perspectives.
10 동물의 미래 지향적인 행동
Animals regularly engage in future-oriented behaviors, ____ nest-building to hibernation.
Clearly these behaviors are functionally prospective, but the extent to which they are controlled by cognitive processes remains ____ open question.
Migrating birds, for example, travel long distances to avoid cold winters, without ever having experienced a winter, warmer ____ or the dangers of travel.
These birds are unable ____ know what it is they are avoiding and why this course of action benefits them.
Indeed, when two bird populations with different migratory paths are cross-bred, the resulting offspring migrate in a direction halfway between that of their parents, suggesting that direction of ____ is genetically determined.
From this example we can see that not all prospective behaviors can be considered to involve awareness of the future, but may instead be ____ responses to natural (e.g., seasonal changes in day length or hormones), or learned, cues.
11 토양과 식물 간의 상호 작용
Soil and the plants that grow in ____ are continually interacting in many ways, both directly and through the effects of the many kinds of bacteria, fungi and other small organisms that are always present.
Most notably, plants are continually dropping leaves and other parts which ____ to the ground to rot in place where they release their nutrients, although in some drier climates, lightning-set fires are necessary to liberate the mineral nutrients present in the plant litter.
In any case, most of the nutrients present in dead plant material end up locally in the soil, while the vast networks of plant roots and fungal threads join with bacteria, lichens and sticky humus to effectively hold the soil together even in the face of heavy rains ____ strong winds.
____ result is effective and continuous recycling of plant nutrients which are capable of moving back and forth between the soil and the plants almost indefinitely.
Soil is also a vast storehouse for the seeds and spores produced by the local ____ a key factor in allowing vegetation to regenerate following disturbance.
12 진화의 속도
When Darwin developed his theory of natural selection, ____ imagined evolution unrolling on geological timescales: the way a glacier sculpts a valley or weather beats on a rock, so time molds one species into another.
Such was the conventional wisdom for ____ a century.
But in the late twentieth century, our understanding of evolution started to change, thanks in no small part to the continuing study of the Galápagos finches ____ Darwin himself had observed on the
It turns out ____ evolution works far more quickly than Darwin imagined.
The finches of the Galápagos evolve on ____ we can observe.
In 1983, for instance, a year with superabundant rainfall, a species of ____ with tiny seeds overran the flora of Daphne Island.
The birds with the smallest and pointiest beaks were suddenly, ____ distinctly, advantaged.
Their ____ rapidly spread.
Selection for traits can happen over the course of years or ____ not just eons.
And Darwin’s ____ are exemplary, not exceptional.
They are a ____ case of the paradigm that the biologist John Thompson has called “relentless evolution.”
