1. Sand particles are too big to dissolve so their density sinks them

rjkz [21]
The correct answer is:  [B]:  "decreased" .
________________________________________________________
<u>Note</u>:
________________________________________________________
        In a graph of "coal reserves in the United States" vs. "time" ; 

→ the "time" is the "independent variable" that belongs on the "x-axis" .

→ The quantity or amount of "coal reserves in the United States" is the "dependent variable" that belongs on the "y-axis" . 

       If the graph "slopes downward" ;  this would indicate a "decrease" in the amount/quantity of "coal reserves" over "time" .  

→  As the value of "x" increases — "time" increases — and; as "x" increases, the value of "y" {the amount/quantity of "coal reserves"} decreases.  

→ This would be represented by a "downward sloping" graph;  

→  and, among the answer choices given, could indicate that coal production:
_______________________________________________________
                     →  "decreased" ;    
_______________________________________________________
→  which is:  Answer choice:  [B]:  "decreased" .

The amount of available energy changes between the trophic levels found in a food chain or energy pyramid. Photos (left to right
Aliun [14]

Answer;

A. leaf to mouse

Explanation;

-Considering the fact that the amount of energy at each trophic level reduces as it moves through an ecosystem from the lowest trophic level which happens to be producers (plants).  And about 10 percent of this  energy at any trophic level is transferred to the next level since the rest is lost largely through metabolic processes as heat.

-It means that the lower the trophic level the higher the energy obtained, for instance from producers to primary consumers, more energy is passed since it is the first passage of energy.
