Phytoplankton refers to the microscopic marine species that thrive at the bottom of the food chain. They obtain their energy from carbon dioxide via photosynthesis, like plants and thus are very essential in carbon cycling.
Phytoplankton forms the base of almost every ocean food web. Thus, it can be stated that they make the majority of other ocean life possible. They are the source of food for zooplankton and small fishes, as well as for larger animals like jellyfish and whales.
Thus, if the population of phytoplankton gets declined, it will indirectly affect other species in the aquatic ecosystem. It can also be said that with the decrease in the population of phytoplankton, the population of other major species in the ecosystem also gets a decline.
Solar heating of the Earth's surface is uneven because land heats faster than water, and this causes air to warm, expand and rise over land while it cools and sinks over the cooler water surfaces. ... Any shoreline is a wind machine, because of solar heating effects.

Explanation:
1. What is a longitudinal wave?
- A wave vibrating in the direction of propagation
- This is also called "pressure waves"
- Example: Sound waves, ultrasound waves
2. When you hear a sound wave through the air, what are you detecting?
We are detecting the sound wave through the ears. There is a part called ear drum present inside the ear and it turn contains 3 bones which makes us to hear the sounds. When sound waves enters, the ear drum vibrates.
3. In which direction does the material vibrate, as energy travels through it?
The direction is perpendicular to the direction of energy transport.
4. When a wave transmits, or transfers, energy, do the individual molecules or particles also move from one end to the other?
Yes, the particles move from one end to other.
Under this system, organisms are classified into three domains and six kingdoms. The domains are Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. The kingdoms are Archaebacteria (ancient bacteria), Eubacteria (true bacteria), Protista, Fungi, Plantae, a
