If we have a plate that has 2500 colonies on it, can we use this plate to calculate CFU's

No, the solution with bacteria in it needs to be diluted in order to be in the range of 30 – 300.

A colony-forming unit –CFU is used to estimate the number of viable (ability to divide by binary fission) microbes in a sample.  

A sample of microbes is diluted and spread on a plate. Then, the number of colonies is counted, assuming that each colony have grown from a single colony-forming unit, or CFU.

Plates with more than 300 colonies are difficult to count while those with less than 30 colonies give statistically unreliable numbers of colonies to count.

Softa [21]

Plate tectonic induced changes in the sea level could increase the total percentage of land area upto 40% or decrease it to as low as 17%

<h3>What are Tectonic plates?</h3>

Plate tectonics, whose name derives from the Late Latin tectonicus and the Ancient Greek letter v, which means "pertaining to building," According to the widely accepted scientific idea , the Earth's lithosphere is made up of many major tectonic plates that have been gently shifting for nearly 3.4 billion years

The model is based on the idea of continental drift, which was created in the early 20th century. After seafloor spreading was confirmed in the mid- to late 1960s, plate tectonics became largely accepted by geoscientists.
