Afemale cat in heat
urinates moreoften and in many places. male cats congregate near
the urinedeposits and fight with each other. which of the following
is aproximate cause of this behavior of increasedurination?
it announces tothe males that she is in heat.
female cats thatdid this in the past attracted
more males.
it is a resultof hormonal changes associated with
her reproductivecycle.
all of the aboveare possible proximate causes of
the behavior.

All of the above are possible proximate causes of the behavior

Explanation:

Cats have reproductive organs, these organs go through a normal cycle, called heat cycle, that let reproduction to occur. During this cycle, they have hormonal fluctuations that mean that their body is ready to breed.

During the heat cycle, cats have several behaviors and signs such as spraying urine, rolling on the floor and scratching at doors begging to go outside. When a female cat is in heat, she is likely to urine more frequently and even spray urine on objects, to let any nearby male cats know that she is ready to be mated with. The urine contains pheromones and hormones, signals of her reproductive status to other male cats.

In the wild, females cats pee on trees or objects to find a male cat to mate with. This is why one might infer that female cats did this in the past and the domestic cats inherited this behavior.  

the transfer for conduction is the heat transfering from the liquid to the spoon

the transfer for convection is the heat rising from the liquid to the air

the transfer for radiation is the heat going through the sides of the cup and to the air

at least that is what i would do

the law of original horizontality explains:   why rocks appear in layers. correct answer: b the law suggests that all rock layers are originally laid down (deposited) horizontally and can later be deformed.   the principle is used by geologists to make assumptions about the relative ages of sedimentary rocks.
