Answer:

An ecological succession involves the series of changes in the biotic community with respect to changes in the non-living factors such as water, availability of sunlight and other factors along with time, until the ecosystem attains stability.

When a whale carcass sinks to the ocean floor it creates an environment appropriate for succession to happen because an oceanic floor exhibiting low biological activity before the carcass sinks at the oceanic floor, attains the high biological activity after the carcass sinks. The range of decomposers and scavengers organisms can feed on this carcass. This will result in increase in population of these feeding organisms. Hence, the whale carcass has initiated the succession in the previously less active ocean floor.

1. The point in the Moon's orbit when it's farthest away from the Earth is called apogee.  On the contrary, the perigee is the point in the Moon's orbit when it's the nearest from the Earth. Those points are very important for tides and other natural phenomenon such as eclipse and in general for the observation of the skies.

4. Tides are a result of the gravitational attraction of the Sun and Moon. The Earth, the Sun and the Moon have masses and their own gravities. The interactions between these corps causes tides movement on Earth that are fundament to life on the planet, because they are a fundamental part in the cycle of water and air.
