Answer:
Nesting & Foraging behavior
Explanation:
Seabirds are generally tertiary consumers and / or marine predators that, in marine foodwebs, occupy the upper trophic level. They are very well adapted to all marine ecosystems and feed on a variety of prey: from micro-crustaceans to fish and cephalopods.
Generally, seabirds are observed performing a nesting behavior, by laying eggs near the shore, and then are found exhibiting foraging behavior -searching and foraging for prey- in both the coastline and pelagic zone, also known as the open sea.
Seabirds exhibit different foraging behaviors, for example, the <u>surface feeding behavior which involves flying along the surface with their beak in the water. Gulls, albatrosses and petrels are examples of surface feeders.</u>
<u>On the other hand, plunge diving involves preying on fast marine organisms by diving into the water during their flight. Pelicans are example of seabirds who engage in this behavior.</u>
Mass is the amount of matter in any object.
Nestled at the edge of the arid Great Basin and the snowy Sierra Nevada mountains in California, Mono Lake is an ancient saline lake that covers over 70 square miles and supports a unique and productive ecosystem. The lake has no fish; instead it is home to trillions of brine shrimp and alkali flies. Freshwater streams feed Mono Lake, supporting lush riparian forests of cottonwood and willow along their banks. Along the lakeshore, scenic limestone formations known as tufa towers rise from the water's surface. Millions of migratory birds visit the lake each year.
From 1941 until 1990, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (DWP) diverted excessive amounts of water from Mono Basin streams. Mono Lake dropped 45 vertical feet, lost half its volume, and doubled in salinity.
The Mono Lake Committee, founded in 1978, led the fight to save the lake with cooperative solutions. We continue our protection, restoration, and education efforts today with the support of 16,000 members --and we host this Website.
In 1994, after over a decade of litigation, the California State Water Resources Control Board ordered DWP to allow Mono Lake to rise to a healthy level of 6,392 feet above sea level--twenty feet above its historic low. It is rising toward that goal -- click here for the current lake level, or visit one of the other links on this page for more of the Mono Lake story.
Answer:
1.All living things are composed of cells.
2.Cells are the basic units of structure and function for living things.
3.All cells come from pre-existing cells. Also, organisms grow by “adding on more cells” NOT by increasing the size of their cells.
