Area measuring 5 m² contains 50 earthworms what is the population density of the earth worms
Darina [25.2K]

The density of a population of living organisms is usually measured in individuals on one square km. In here we have 50 earthworms on an area of 5 square meters, thus we have 10 earthworms on every square meter. In order to get to the result we need to see first how many square meters there are in one square km. One square km has one thousand meters of length and one thousand meters of width so:

1,000 x 1,000 = 1,000,000 km²

Since we established that we have 10 earthworms on every one square meter, we just need to multiply the number of square meters with the amount of earthworms on every square meter:

1,000,000 x 10 = 10,000,000

So we have a density of 10 million earthworms per square km.

What is the difference between a lake and a pond? a. A pond is smaller in size and does not have a temperature gradient. b. A po
Ksju [112]

Answer:

I think the answer is A.

Explanation:

Ponds and lakes are both inland bodies of freshwater that contain living creatures. Lakes are normally much deeper than ponds and have a larger surface area. ... All the water in a pond is in the photic zone, meaning ponds are shallow enough to allow sunlight to reach the bottom.

  The yearly process known as thermal stratification. A pond that is thermally stratified simply means that there is a noticeable temperature gradient as the water gets deeper. You may have noticed this in summer while swimming.
