Describe three examples of materials that have resulted from a lack of decomposer activity
erastova [34]

The decomposers are of two kinds, aerobic decomposers and anaerobic decomposers. The aerobic decomposers need the oxygen from the air to break down the dead and decaying matter into simple salts, sugars and hydrocarbon gases. The anaerobic decomposers do not require oxygen for the break down of dead and decaying matter. They break down the matter into various forms of hydrocarbons, sulphides and nitrogenous compounds.

When a dead and decaying matter gets buried deep within the Earth where there is an absence of the decomposers, it takes the form of crude oil, coal, peat, asphalt, and natural gas. The matter gets compressed by the weight of the rocks above and changes its form.

The thickest part of the crust occurs in _____.
lana [24]

Answer:

Option (3)

Explanation:

The continental crust is usually thick because it has an average thickness of about 35-40 km. In the high mountain ranges, it is the thickest, forming about 80 km on an average. These are formed when two continental plates form a sandwich pattern by sharing a convergent type of plate boundary.

For example, the thickest part of the crust is the Mt. Everest which lies in the great Himalayan range, which has started to form about 50 million years back. It is geologically the most recent mountain range.

The older mountains are continuously eroded in the geological past, as a result of which the height of the mountains is affected.

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).

What is the relationship between the pH of pond water and the survival rate of animal species living in the pond
Aloiza [94]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The pH of the pond water and survival rate of animal species living in the pond has a direct relationship with each other. Animal species can survive at a specific level of pH"Optimum pH" at which these species can show their maximum activity.

If we decrease the pH the pond water will become more acidic and it will become challenging for species to survive in the acidic environment and if we increase the pH the water becomes more alkaline and again it affects the marine life. So, the pH of pond water should be in normal ranges.
