Re: Green Generation B/C
Why do the desert cactus and euphorb look and act similar, even though they live in entirely separate places of the world?

They have convergently adapted/evolved under similar environmental conditions (i.e. dry desert conditions). but are not considered homologous because they have arisen independently of each other.

Re: Green Generation B/C
If you consider it ecology then it's Part 1 of this event according to the rulebook.CulturallyScientific wrote:note: isn't this question more of an evolutionary bio/ecology question, not very suitable for this event which is supposed to be more environmental science based?They have convergently adapted/evolved under similar environmental conditions (i.e. dry desert conditions). but are not considered homologous because they have arisen independently of each other.
But yeah, it's very evolutionary bio-ish which doesn't seem to be in the flavor of this event.

Re: Green Generation B/C
Yeah, I realize that isn't a great question for this event. Wasn't there a trial event about evolution?
Anyway, that was the answer I was looking for
, your turn!

Oops, sorry about the delay! 
next question:
Explain what the Montreal Protocol was and describe to what extent it was effective in its purpose(s)?

Re: Green Generation B/C
Bernard's answer was more or less what I was looking for, but you could always type out a response synthesized from those two great links, too 
Your turn!
