bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

9.) <em>Humpback Whales</em>

10.) <em>Phytoplankton.</em>

11.) <em>Sotronger upwelling winds</em>

Explanation:

9.) A primary consumer feeds on primary producers, of all the options given Humpback Whales, are the only ones meeting the criteria in the options given since they feed with plankton (a primary producer).

10.) Phytoplankton are the base of the Southern Antarctic Ocean trophic chain. In the nutrient-rich upwelling zone waters, they can reach huge blossoms and are far more common than other forms of zooplankton in this zone.

11.) The productivity of this ecosystem is influenced by the seasonal cycle of the upwelling winds, these peak during the months of December and January, carrying more nutrients and allowing trophic networks to work more efficiently and actively allowing for more productivity.

So, now it is easy to find the temperature from place B.

If in place A, at 2500 m is 20°C, then at place B the temperature will be with 6°C lower.

Place B = 20°C - 6°C = <u>14°C</u>
