What is the scientific name for a gull?
AnswerThe scientific name for the family Gulls is Laridae. There are over fifty species of Gull in existence today. Each species has a scientific name which is Latinised. The first part of the scientific name is the generic name denoting the genus. A genus is a group of closely related species within a family, or it can be just one or two species considered sufficiently different from other species to merit their own genus. This first part of the name always starts with a capital letter. The second part is the specific name denoting the species. It never starts with a capital. Many of these species have subspecies or geographical races, (for which a third name is added) about which there is much debate! Most gull species belong to the genus Larus ie, typical gulls. Larus is simply Latin for sea bird.Latin names for various speciesCommon Gull (Mew Gull): Larus canusMediterranean Gull: Larus melanocephalusFranklin's Gull: Larus pipixcanLittle Gull: Hydrocoloeus minutus (formerly Larus minutus)Sabine's Gull: Larus sabiniBonaparte's Gull: Larus philadelphiaRing-billed Gull: Larus delawarensisLesser Black-backed Gull: Larus fuscusLaughing Gull: Larus atricillaHerring Gull: Larus argentatusGreat Black-headed Gull: Larus ichthyaetusBlack-headed gull: Chroicocephalus ridibundusSwallow-tailed Gull: Creagrus furcatu (the only member of its genus)Grey-headed Gull: Chroicocephalus cirrocephalus (formerly Larus cirrocephalus)Lava Gull:Leucophaeus fuliginosus (formerly Larus fuliginosus)Silver Gull: Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae (formerly Larus novaehollandiae)American Herring Gull: Larus smithsonianusYellow Legged Gull: Larus michahellisCaspian Gull: Larus cachinnansIceland Gull: Larus glaucoidesThayers' Gull: Larus theyeriGlaucous Gull: Larus hyperboreusGreat Black-backed Gull: Larus marinusRoss's Gull: Rhodostethia roseaBlack legged Kittiwake: Rissa tridactylaIvory Gull: Pagophila eburnea
Why do some volcanoes erupt violently and others don't?
Three important factors control whether an eruption will be explosive or quiet. One is the amount of water vapor and other gases that are trapped in the magma. The other factor is how much silica is present in the magma. And temperature.
The earth's crust is stationary that is it does not move?
The Earth's crust is not stationary; it is made up of tectonic plates that constantly move and interact with each other. This movement results in earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountains. It is a dynamic process known as plate tectonics.
