If there is a leakage of the manure pond into the near by river, the growth the nitrates and phosphates in the leak causes an overgrowth of algae leading to eutrophication.
<h3>What is a manure?</h3>
A manure is that which is used to improve the fertility of the soil. It is composed of the nutrients that are required by the soil. We know that each pig produces 30 liters of manure each day, and the average feedlot holds 900 pigs. Hence, each day, 30 * 900 = 27000 litres of manure is produced.
Within a period of 30 days, a total of 27000 litres of manure * 30 = 810,000 litres of manure is produced. If there is a leakage of the manure pond into the near by river, the growth the nitrates and phosphates in the leak causes an overgrowth of algae leading to eutrophication.

Answer:
biotic preservation
Explanation:
preservstion means to store or to save,
In any food chain, the percentage of energy passed from one level to another usually reduced by a factor of 10%.
In the food chain given in the question, we are told that the rabbit ate grass and the hawk ate the rabbit.
The grass carried out photosynthesis and obtained 100% energy from the sun. When the rabbit ate the grass, he obtained 10% of the energy from the grass, thus, the quantity of energy it gained from eating the grass is 10%, that is, 100/10 = 10%.
When the hawk ate the rabbit, it was only able to get 10% of the energy in the rabbit, thus, the quantity of the energy it gained is 1%, that is 10/10 = 1%.
Therefore, 1% of the energy stored by the grass is passed on to the hawk.
