Answer:

(A) fossil is the most useful.

It serves as an index fossil. The seashell is a great index fossil because it only appears in the sandstone layer in multiple locations in the same layer of time.

Explanation:

If you wanted to alter the structure of a bottom-up community, your best bet would be to A) remove the top predators. B) remove
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

E) reduce the number of primary producers

Explanation:

The primary producers are the ones that are the basis of any ecosystem on the planet. They have the ability to produce food for themselves, thus they are autotrophs, and they are the ones that are the food source for the primary consumers. With reduction of the primary producers the whole ecosystem will instantly feel the effects. The primary consumers will be left without food, meaning that they will start to die out. The dying out of the primary consumers will lead to dying out of the secondary consumers, and their dying out will result in the dying out of the predators, or rather the tertiary consumers. The end result will be a collapse of the ecosystem, which will then be inhabited by other organisms, first through the primary succession, and then through the secondary succession, resulting in a new and different ecosystem.

What effect does hydrostatic equilibrium have on a solar system body
sesenic [268]

To attain spherical shape is the  hydro-static equilibrium have on a solar system body

<u>Explanation:</u>

The interior of the sun has hydrostatic equilibrium which keeps the sun stable. It helps to maintain equilibrium between the gravitational force and the force exerted due to the gas. The gravitational pull creates inward force to destabilise the sun. But the gases creates outward pressure.  

These two forces acting against each other give a spheroidal shape for the planets.The static structure of the solar system body is obtained by the hydrostatic equilibrium and not giving room to shrink or expand its state.
