Answer:

Fossil is the dead remnants of ancient plants and animals. It takes millions of years to form fossils. The clamshells are the fossils that are generally considered to be the bivalves for the first time during the Cambrian period. They are formed in a shallow marine type of environment and after a definite period of time, the geological processes allow these fossils to expose on the surface. It is due to the erosion of the surface materials.

In addition to this, these fossils that are exposed on the surface are also transported from one place to another because of the agents like water, during flood. The fossils are mostly found along the sides of road cuttings, streams and river valleys and on the sides of the cliffs.

So, according to the given condition, it can be concluded that the farmer found that fossil clamshell because of the rapid erosion that has taken place in that area, exposing the fossil on the surface.

He may have decided that a flood or something swept through and brought that with it.

Which is not a compound?<br> 8H2<br> H2O<br> 6CaO<br> 5HCl
poizon [28]
8H2. The actual equation doesn't make sense for 8H2. This is because in compounds it always says the number of atoms after the element symbol, but in this case, there is an 8 before it. This means that it isn't a compound.

What would happen to an ecosystem if an invasive
MrRa [10]

Explanation:

the top predator is removed from the delicate balance of any particular ecosystem, there may be disastrous effects for the other plants and animals that inhabit the environment.

When a top predator is removed from an ecosystem, a series knock-on effects are felt throughout all the levels in a food web, as each level is regulated by the one above it. This is known as a trophic cascade. The results of these trophic cascades can lead to an ecosystem being completely transformed. The impacts trickle down through each level, upsetting the ecological balance by altering numbers of different animal species, until the effects are finally felt by the vegetation

When a top predator is no longer present, populations of their herbivorous prey begin to boom. Without a top predator to regulate their numbers, these animals put a great deal of pressure on the existing vegetation that they require for food and can destroy large amounts of plant life, such as grasses and trees. This then causes further problems, such as soil erosion and loss of animal habitat. Eventually, humans are also impacted due to the resulting lack of soil fertility and clean water that depend on these plants.

Another problem involving the loss of vegetation is the competition that is created between herbivorous species. Competition between species for the remaining plant life is high and weaker species lose out to stronger ones, leading to the potential loss of weaker animals, as well as plant species. Increased competition, therefore, leads to a lack of biodiversity. In contrast, top predators often have varied diets, which means they can pursue a new food source if one is running low, preventing the first source from being eradicated completely. This is one of the ways that top predators are able to maintain biodiversity and the balance of an ecosystem.

The presence of a top predator also helps to maintain balance in an ecosystem by influencing the behaviour and movements of its prey through the fear of being caught. Animals that are prey to a top predator will move around in order to avoid it. This prevents plants and animals in any particular area of an ecosystem from being over-consumed, preserving food sources and habitats. In the absence of top predators, this regulation disappears, allowing certain areas of vegetation to be destroyed completely.
