The right answer is C. Silt is more vulnerable...

In geology, a silt is a sedimentary formation whose grains are of intermediate size between clays and sands that is to say between 2 and 63 micrometers (the precise limits may vary somewhat according to the laboratories). A mostly silty deposit may be called silt. In geology, Anglicism silt is often used to designate silts.

The silt is the ultimate product of fluvial erosion of the rocks of the river catchment. The silty particles thus consist of very fine debris of quartz, mica and feldspar, or even clay minerals.

Stringers characterize the loess deposits of loess, also known as "slime plateaus", and are common in alluvial deposits. In the latter case, the silty particles release nutrients which have a major interest for the renewal of soil fertility and therefore for their agricultural exploitation.

Since silt is often suspended in water, it can contribute to its turbidity.

Which two organisms in the food web are primary consumers? fox and rabbit rabbit and grasshopper shrew and snake snake and fox
Lorico [155]

The correct answer is B. Rabbit and grasshopper

Explanation:

In ecosystems, primary consumers refer to organisms that eat producers, which are in the first level and include plants as they produce their own energy. Due to this, primary producers include mainly herbivore animals such as cows, goats, sheep, etc. Moreover, primary consumers are the prey of other animals, which are known as secondary consumers. In the image presented, the primary consumers include the grasshopper and the rabbit because the arrows indicate they feed exclusively on grass, which is the producer of this food web.

Answer: The salt dried and dehydrated him even further.

Explanation: When we become dehydrated, the sodium concentration in the body is already elevated. Adding salt only aggravates the condition by forcing the kidneys to excrete more water in order to eliminate the extra salt.
