Answer:
6.7 minutes
Explanation:
In a solid such as rock, the primary wave can travel at 5 km/sec; it would take 400 seconds, or about 6.7 minutes to travel 2,000 km.
1 - A ground level plant develops curling tendrils that wrap around other objects so it can "climb".
This is a species changing over time as it was originally a ground level plant but began to climb higher.
2 - Over many generations.
This is because diversity takes time and has to be integrated through generations; for instance, marriage. In a family, it becomes more diverse after the next generation as each generation is likely to marry someone of another ethnicity and allow the family tree to become more diverse.
3 - Mutate or Survive
It depends on what it means by mutate - develop a mutation to make it adaptable? If that's the case, then mutations within the DNA would be a result of adaptation and increase survival. Otherwise, survive is the obvious answer as adaption allows for species to move around and live longer.
Hope this helps!
Intertidal zone
The intertidal zone is the area of the seafloor between high tide and low tide. It bridges the gap between land and water. Tide pools, estuaries, mangrove swamps and rocky coastal areas are all part of the intertidal zone.
Neritic zone
The water above the continental shelf is the neritic zone. Underwater forest of kelp and grassy meadows of sea grass are home to tiny fish, green turtles, sea cows, seahorses and tiny shrimp. Coral reefs have thousands of animals and plants that live in the waters of the neritic zone.
Open ocean zone
The open ocean zone lies beyond the continental slope and contains 65% of the water in the oceans. This zone is divided further into three subzones. The sunlit zone is where photosynthesis takes place. Plankton and jellyfish are drifters that inhabit this zone. Most animals living in the open ocean live in the sunlit zone.
Twilight zone
Below the sunlit zone is the twilight zone where some light penetrates the ocean to a depth of 3000 feet. Viper fish, firefly squid, and the chambered nautilus live in this zone. The midnight zone extends from a depth of 3000 feet to the seafloor. Animals found in this zone include the giant squid, deep sea hatchetfish and bioluminescent jellyfish.
The population of predators would decrease since they had nothing to eat they would starve and die so the answer is B.
