Describe the source of food for the first 3 levels in the food chain and explain why it takes less land, water, air to produce a
Ronch [10]
This question is incomplete as the specific food chain is not provided. In general, a food chain will have a primary producer at the base of the chain. This is an organism that is able to utilise a form of energy to convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to a carbohydrate. For terrestrial food chains, these are typically plants, who by utilising the energy from the sun, are able to convert carbon dioxide to carbohydrates. The subsequent level in the food chain may be a primary consumer, typically herbivores, that consume plant matter. Subsequent links in the chain would typically be secondary consumers, who would be carnivores, omnivores or decomposers. Carnivores would typically be predators and would be at the apex of the food chain. Energy is lost from one link to the subsequent link in the food chain, through basic respiration and inefficient energy transfer from one link to another. This explains why more resources (land, water and air) are required to grow meat rather than plant matter. More of the sun's energy is available within the lower trophic levels in a food chain, before much of it is lost as energy moves up the food chain. An easy example to illustrate this is that much of the livestock raised in the USA is fed grain. If people rather ate the grain than the livestock, they could obtain all their required energy from a smaller amount of grain then would be needed to raise the meat they require.

Name a difference between a vein and artery
Yuki888 [10]
Arteries like veins, are tube-shaped vessels that carry blood in the body. 
But the difference is that the artery carries oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body. But the veins carry poor-oxygen blood back from the body to the heart! 
I hope this helps! :)

Why are architects and engineers concerned about surface waves
Ainat [17]

Answer:

Because they are the most destruction waves

Explanation:

Surface waves travel just below the earth’s surface.  Examples of surface waves are Rayleighs and Long waves. Rayleighs cause ripples on the ground while long waves move the ground horizontally perpendicular to the direction of travel of the wave. Therefore, these waves are capable of destroying the foundations of structures and hence causing their collapse. Studying these waves allow these professionals to design foundations strong enough to withstand these waves.
