Explanation:
As tectonic plates drift due to the convection currents of the mantle below, so does the climate on the tectonic plates. This is because the drift causes the continents to glide across latitudes. Different latitudes have different climatic conditions associated with them. An example is an equatorial climate in the equator, the subtropical climate in the mid-latitudes and polar climate in the polar region.
Therefore, even though this drift is happening very slowly over millions of years, the plant and animal species in these continental also slowly adapt to the changing climatic condition in their environment associated with these continental drifts.
As the question is incomplete and there are no statements available based on which the question can be answered. But based on the knowledge it can be answered.
Answer:
Most of the corals contains photosynthetic algae which are known as zooxanthllae which lives in the tissues of the corals. Algae and corals have mutualistic relationship.
The corals provide algae space to live and algae provides coral food such as glucose and glycerols to them which are considered as products of photosynthesis.
If the producers are hampered by the catastrophic event then the main source of the food will be hampered. There will be less or no food source for the corals which covers a large area in the marine ecosystem.
There are chances that there will be more load on the other photosynthetic organism in water as there will be more population dependent on them for food.
Hence, if there is a loss of habitat for these protist other levels of food chain will be affected due to inter connection.
I guess it will be C: atoms and molecules because according to Jhon Dalton's
atomic theory :"all matter is made up of atoms"
and even if we think of other options think it by urself that not all matter is made up of them
