By trapping heat, greenhouse gases contribute to our planet's warming. Because of its involvement in the Earth's carbon cycle and nitrogen cycle, the biosphere influences the amounts of some of the major greenhouse gases such as methane, carbon dioxide, and nitrous oxide.
Yes Darwin’s theory of natural selection
The statement is - True.
The five main factors that determine the weather at a certain place are the:
- geographic location/latitude
It determines the amount of sunlight, as well as the concentration of sun rays, which directly influences the temperature.
- altitude/height above sea level
The lower the place the warmer it is, the higher the place the colder it is, it is a simple rule that applies for all places on the planet, compared with places in their surroundings.
- ocean currents/large lakes
The ocean currents can bring cold and dry or warm and wet air masses, depending on what kind of an ocean current it is. The water also contributes to a more stable weather, with more moderate temperatures because of the thermal properties of the water to cool of and warm up slower than the land.
- winds
The air masses can bring cold and dry or warm and wet weather, so they influence the temperature and precipitation of a place.
- topography
Determines how much a place is exposed to the sunlight and the movement of the air masses.
The correct answer is option (A) leaves > deer > wolf.
A food chain is a linear sequence of organisms through which the nutrients and energy flow as one organisms feeds on the other. They show organisms starting from the producers and end with consumers or sometimes with detrivores or decomposers. Each level of the food chain is called the trophic level. The producers which use solar energy and prepare their food occupy the first trophic level, followed by the primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary consumers occupying the next trophic level.
In the food chain given above, leaves > deer > wolf, deers feed on the leaves which are maximum in number comparitively, wolf feeds on the deer which are comparitively more in number than the wolves. This is the correct sequence of food chain showing the tranfer of energy and decreasing number of organisms with subsequent increase in the trophic levels.
