Quadrat method is used for estimating the number of individuals in an area. In this method, a large square area on the ground or water surface is marked, call it an enclave. The number of animals present in this enclave is counted. Then by assuming that the animals are less migratory and are uniformly distributed, their number for a large area is estimated by the use of unitary method of calculation. Example a 4 square feet area has 2 snails, then a 1000 square feet area will have (1000 x 2)/4, i.e, 500 snails in it. Fishes can be counted using this method only if they are confined in a small water body like a lake or a pond. Rivers are flowing so the fishes may move along its length which can give us an underestimate or an overestimate of their numbers. Sea has its depth and huge area, and fishes can be moving randomly in it. Hence this method will not work for river and sea fishes.

Explain the difference between renewable and nonrenewable resources and give an example of each.
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Nonrenewable Resources take longer to be replenished, reneweable resources are easily replenished and easily accessible.

Explanation:

If something is Nonrenewable; for example fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas, then that means that the organic matter is limited and not going to grow or be created easily on Earth.

Renewable Resources are usually classified into five categories; Hydro, Solar, Wind, Biomass, and Geothermal. All of these resources are easily accesible and can be used as a natural energy source.

Hope this helped :)

What is one way that fish interact with a coral reef?
Ksivusya [100]

Fishes use the coral reef for shelter during the day as well as food.

<h3>Information related to coral reef</h3>

One way that fish interact with a coral reef is that fish hide within the coral. Coral reefs are an important resource for large-bodied fish in the Caribbean. They use the reef for shelter during the day.

Coral reefs are important ecosystems because coral reefs contain a great diversity of life. The color of coral depends on the type of polyp present. Coral polyps are tiny little animals that can live individually, or in large colonies that comprise a coral reef.

Great Barrier Reef is considered as the largest coral reef on Earth. Coastal land development, silt runoff, water pollution by humans, damage from scuba diving, boating, and fishing are the threats to the health of coral reef.
