The correct answer is option D The population of foxes would probably decrease.

A food chain can be defined as a linear sequence of organisms through which the nutrients and energy flow as one organisms feeds on the other. Each level of the food chain is called the trophic level. They show organisms starting from the producers and end with consumers or sometimes with detrivores or decomposers. The producers which use solar energy and prepare their food occupy the first trophic level, followed by the primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary consumers occupying the next trophic level.

In the terrestrial food chain given above, grass → rabbit → fox, the decrease in the any population will effect the other organism at a different trophic level of the food chain. A sudden decrease in the population of rabbits will decrease the population of the foxes at the next trophic level as it is a secondary consumer feeding on the primary consumer which is the rabbit. So, a sudden decrease in the rabbit population will starve the foxes and thus decrease their number in the island.

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

Ammonia feels slippery or soapy to the touch because<u> it is an [alkaline] base and can dissolve some of the fats and oils in your skin.</u>

Explanation:

The concept <em>alkali</em> refers to salts that contain alkali and alkaline earth metal elements. According to chemists, all alkaline solutions are <u>basic</u>.

Ammonia is an alkaline solution that, when combined with water, it actually makes soap. This base feels slippery to the touch because when it makes contact with all the oils that are naturally present in your skin, it produces soap, making it slippery and soapy.

At which type of tectonic plate boundary is a volcano least likely to occur?
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Hotspot

Explanation:

Volcanoes can form in three different places: a convergent boundary, a divergent boundary, or a hot spot.

-At a convergent plate boundary, two plates collide and form a subduction zone. In the subduction zone, the denser, heavier plate goes below the more buoyant plate. The plate that goes under is subjected to immense heat and pressure and melts to form magma. This magma is less dense than the surrounding solid rock and rises to the surface through cracks in the plates to form a volcano.

- Volcanoes will form along divergent plate boundaries. A divergent boundary is when the plates move apart from each other. When the plates part, magma from under either plate rises and forms a volcano.

-A hotspot is the third place a volcano can form. This particular type is the least common. Hot spots are when thermal plumes from deep in the Earth rises. This heat, combined with the lower pressure at the bottom of the lithosphere, causes magma to form. The magma, as we discussed, is less dense than the surrounding solid crust and rises to the surface through cracks and channels and then erupts at the surface to form a volcano.
