Biology

On the earth surface

Explanation:

The long-wavelength radiation is created on the earth surface when electromagnetic radiation is re-emitted.

  • The sun releases radiation in form of short-wave.
  • They are usually more energetic and with short wavelength and a high frequency.
  • When they interact with materials on the earth, they are radiated back as long-wavelength radiation that usually causes heat.
  • Ultraviolet rays and other high energy waves are emitted from the sun because it is a very hot body.
  • When these radiations enters the earth, they are re-radiated back as long waves with lower energy.
  • Earth is cooler than the sun
  • When some of the short waves for example, the ultraviolet rays gets to the surface, it is absorbed and re-radiated back.
  • When the short waves are absorbed, they lose some of their their energy to the earth surface.
  • The remainder is radiated back as less energetic long waves.
  • The hotter a body is, the more energetic the radiation it releases.

In a fish species, the number of eggs that hatch and survive for one year varies depending on the number of eggs that were produ
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

C. The chance of survival decreases when there is intraspecific competition for resources among surviving yearlings

Explanation:

The survival rate of the offspring of the fish species will decrease as a result of the huge number of eggs produced giving rise to overpopulation. Pressure will be on the limited available resources. As a result of this, Intraspecific competition would occur as members of the same fish species would compete for the limited resources.  

Interference and exploitation competition are two types of Intraspecific competition that can reduce the population size of the fish species.

For Interference competition, the dominant and stronger members would secure adequate supply of the limited resources to  detriment of the weaker and less dominant ones. This leads to the death of those members that are weak to compete successfully, thereby leading to a reduction in population size.

In exploitation competition, it involves all individual members of the fish species sharing the limited resources equally, while none of them gets an adequate amount. With time, a great size of the population decrease would be noticed when compared to that of Interference competition.
