What types of adaptations can be observed in nature?

Joe shines white light into a bowl half full of water at an angle of incident of 27.5°. calculate the angle of refraction in the water given the indices of refraction for air and water are 1.00 and 1.36, respectively.

Modern pennies are composed of zinc coated with copper. a student determines the mass of a penny to be 2.482 g and then makes several scratches in the copper coaling (to expose the underlying zinc). the student puts the scratched penny in hydrochloric acid, where the following reaction occurs between the zinc and the hcl (the copper remains undissolved): zn(s) + 2 hcl(aq) → h2(g) + zncl(aq)the student collects the hydrogen produced over water at 25 °c. the collected gas occupies a volume of 0.899 l at a total pressure of 79 j mmhg. calculate the percent zinc (by mass) in the penny. (assume that all the zn in the penny dissolves.)

How does a large body of water, such as the ocean, influence climate?
