Complete Question:
I made the grass diseased. This caused all of the populations above it (rabbit, snake, and hawk) to rapidly decrease over the 12 month period
(a) A major disturbance that the ecosystem was able to recover completely from __________
(b) A major disturbance that caused the ecosystem to stabilize at a new equilibrium ____________
(c) A major disturbance that caused the ecosystem to completely collapse __________
ANSWER:
(a) reducing the hawks to nearly zero
(b) removing all of the hawks
(c) removing all the diseased.
Explanation:
(a) reducing the hawks to nearly zero will cause low depletion of the producer (plants) and this will allow the plant to grow (without visible depletion) over a period of time.
(b) for the ecosystem to stabilize at a new equilibrium, the tertiary consumer (hawks) will be totally removed from the ecosystem. Since there's no tertiary consumer to checkmate the density of other components of the food chain, it will make it form a balanced ecosystem.
(c) for ecosystem to collapse, it's important to note that the removal of the producer (plants) will be bring about the loss of the ecosystem. Since, their is no manufacturer of food, the primary consumer (rabbit) in the food chain will be starved and overtime the rabbits will be wiped out and this will caused the loss of secondary and tertiary consumer in the long run.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
The answer is C.) used wisely
The answer to your question is Oxygen
The correct answer is B. Seismometer, Seismometers are used to measure motion in the ground (seismic waves) created by earthquakes and volcanic activity. These machines allow seismotologist to map and measure these events.
Third-level consumers, or tertiary consumers, are carnivores who eat primary and secondary consumers. This almost NEVER happens, but there is sometimes a level higher than the tertiary consumers that eats them. It rarely happens, so often the tertiary consumers do not get eaten. Also, as tertiary consumers eat the primary and secondary consumers, they receive 10% of their energy from the producers. What happens with that 90%? Well, the 90%, most of the time, is lost to the environment as heat. Anyway, there more tertiary consumers besides the red fox, like the eagle, for instance, but there aren't many of the tertiary consumers because there isn't enough energy to get to them, since only 10% is being transferred each time a predator eats a prey in the food chain.
