Why is an energy pyramid a helpful diagram in understanding food energy relationship

Biology
1 answer:
Nitella [24]3 years ago
6 0
An energy pyramid is helpful in understanding the relationship between food and energy, because the most energy (generally grass, or plants) is at the bottom, and meat eating predators are at the tippy top (less energy). Producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers and tertiary consumers are all on the energy pyramid. I hope this was helpful:)

Describe how each of these 4 processes can affect salinity. Are they increasing or decreasing the salinity?
Charra [1.4K]

Iceberg: The formation of icebergs increases salinity because it is taking liquid water out of the ocean without taking the salt.

Sea Ice: Same as icebergs, this increases salinity because it removes liquid water.

Runoff: This decreases salinity because it is introducing fresh water into the ocean, reducing the salt to water ratio.

Evaporation: This would increase salinity because it is removing liquid water from the ocean, increasing the salt to water ratio.

Hope this helps!
