The following tests can determine the mineral in a rock specimen:
1. How does the rock crumble or split under pressure?
2. What is the texture of the rock?
3. Observing it under a magnifying lens.
4. Determine the color of the rock
Test 1 and 3 determines if the rock is granular and the types of grains in the rock. Test 3 also determines if the rock has layers hence sedimentary rock.
Determining whether color of the rock is dark or light also helps identify the mineral and type of rock.
It would be B.) ospreys; decomposers
Since ospreys eat nothing but fish, if all of the trout died from a disease, the ospreys wouldn't have anything to eat because all of the fish are dead. This results in a loss of energy for the ospreys.
However, decomposers would gain more energy because they gain their energy from dead creatures, in this case, it would be the trout.
The specific heat capacity represents the amount of energy, in joules, that it takes to raise the temperature of one gram of a given substance by one degree Celsius. Put more simply, the amount of energy it takes to raise a quantity of water by one degree Celsius would raise an equivalent quantity of sand by a little over 14 degrees. Likewise, sand does not need to lose nearly as much energy as water to produce equivalent cooling. Since it "holds" a lot less energy, it cools down much faster than sand.
Indeed, liquid water has an unusually high specific heat capacity. Because it is much less prone to temperature swings than other common substances, large bodies of water often work to moderate temperatures in a region. This helps to explain, for example, why average temperatures fluctuate very little over the year in San Francisco, a city whose climate is heavily influenced by the water that nearly surrounds it.
Answer:
Every organisms on the planet requires a specific environmental conditions for its growth and survival. If the environmental condition is favorable, the organisms grow fast and if the conditions are not suitable so it adversely affected the organisms. For example, plants grow best at the temperature between 25 to 40 Celsius. If the temperature goes below 25 or above 40, the growth decrease and sometimes the plant dies. So climate and abiotic factors such as temperature, humidity, light intensity etc has a great impact on the organisms.
