<u>Answer</u>:

<em>c. The cold water will remain at the bottom and won’t mix very much with the warm water at the top.</em>

<u>Explanation</u>:

<em>During summer months the water at the surface of a lake gets heated up more than the water at the depths.</em> Increase in temperature decreases the density of water.

Less dense fluids remain above denser fluids and thus the hot water remains at the top itself and doesn’t mix with the cold water at the bottom.  <em>The situation is different in the months of winter when the surface water temperature is less than the water temperature at the bottom. </em>

In such a situation the water at the surface moves to the bottom of the lake and water at the bottom rises to the surface. <em>This causes the mixing of water in the lake.</em>

List the reasons why food chains to not send to exceed 4 links
Hitman42 [59]
As the number of organisms increase so does their tropic levels. As one organism eats the other energy is being transferred to that organism. The larger the food chain the lesser the organism' s would be because they would lose energy while trying to hunt and catch their prey and other activities. The food chain usually ends at the tertiary consumer or the fourth link because if it goes on like that there would be less energy hence these organisms would most likely starve and gradually die.
