Answer:

When a plant or animal dies, it leaves behind nutrients and energy in the organic material that comprised its body. Scavengers and detritivores can feed on the carcasses, but they will inevitably leave behind a considerable amount of unused energy and nutrients. Unused energy and nutrients will be present both in the unconsumed portions (bones, feathers or fur in the case of animals, wood and other indigestable litter in the case of plants) and in the feces of the scavengers and detritivores. Decomposers complete decomposition by breaking down this remaining organic matter. Decomposers eventually convert all organic matter into carbon dioxide (which they respire) and nutrients. This releases raw nutrients (such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and magnesium) in a a form usable to plants and algae, which incorporate the chemicals into their own cells. This process resupplies nutrients to the ecosystem, in turn allowing for greater primary production.  

Although decomposers are generally located on the bottom of ecosystem diagrams such as food chains, food webs, and energy pyramids, decomposers in the biosphere are crucial to the environment. By breaking down dead material, they provide the nutrients that other organisms need to survive. As decomposers feed on dead organisms, they leave behind nutrients. These nutrients become part of the soil. Therefore, more plants can grow and thrive.  

Bacteria are the primary decomposers of dead animals (carrion) and are the primary decomposers of dead plant matter (litter) in some ecosystems.

As a glacier moves across the land, it pushes soil and rocks in front of it and to the sides of it. What are the hills resulting
spin [16.1K]

Answer: They are called Moraines

Explanation: A glacier is a large body of ice originating from land that constantly moves slowly over land. It occurs in almost all parts of the world and makes up about 3/4 of fresh water all over the world.

Glaciers constantly move on land and they do this under their own weight.

As a glacier moves across land, it pushes soil and rocks in front of it and to the sides of it.

The resulting hill formed as a result of this soil movement is called a Moraine.

A moraine is sometimes referred to as a glacial till. It is an accumulation of materials (usually soil and rock) left behind by a moving glacier.
