Answer:

Removal of keynote species from an eco-system can lead to the existence  of the system in danger.

Explanation:

There are certain keynote species in the eco-system which has an important role to play in the survival of other species. The removal of these species can put the eco-system in danger. The keynote species helps to maintain the ecosystem by keeping it in harmony.

An ecosystem may cease to exist or can be taken over by a completely different kind of species by breaking the direction of the system if one of its keynote species is removed.

Keynote species can be divided into three groups by scientists-

(i) Predators: helps in controlling the population of the prey species by affecting the numbers of plants and animals in the food web, like- tiger sharks

(ii) Ecosystem engineers: an organism that creates or demolishes a club of species, like- beaver and

(iii) Mutualists: The interaction of two or more species for their own benefit, such as- bees.

Why might introduction of exotic species disrupt and ecosystem?
Tanya [424]
Exotic species do not have a niche in the ecosystem that they are in. Therefore they take up resources that native species rely on to survive. Exotic species also have no natural predators in that environment causing them to flourish and multiply quickly.

Which have scientists learned from studying seismic waves that travel through earth’s interior?
DENIUS [597]
<span><span>D. They have learned the precise depths where the boundaries between the earth's layers are located.</span>

The overwhelming amount of seismic activity particularly happens along convergent plate boundaries. In particular, reverse or thrust faults occurs on convergent plate boundaries.Converging plate boundaries are classified into two types of activities.First is the subduction boundary where the oceanic lithosphere is pressured beneath a continental plate or oceanic plate thus it overrides the other plate then slowly directed to the mantle where it will become a magma. Second is the collisional boundary where earthquakes occur because of the continental crust squeezed together then plates are pushed upwards.Reverse faults are correlated to earthquakes with magnitude of 8 or more.Hence, earthquakes of magnitude 8 or more are considered powerful and mega thrust earthquakes.</span>
