What do worms eat? Why are whale remains able to support so much life?
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Some of the things that worms eat include dead plants, live plants, dead animals, animal poop, and other microscopic animals. After they eat, they grind up and digest their food and pass the rest as waste, called castings, which go back into the soil and help plants grow and stay healthy.

Whale skeletons support so much life because they contain an enormous amount of oil. Before this happens, they must release enough eggs or larvae so that some tiny proportion will be transported by the ocean currents and survive until they can find and colonize another whale carcass.

What does this map represent?
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. This maps represents the triangle trade.

Explanation:

The triangular trade was a slave trade in which manufactured goods such as alcohol, metal containers, clothing and firearms were transported from Great Britain (especially Liverpool). Cargo transported in Africa was exchanged for slaves transported to America or the West Indies. The slaves were replaced with sugar, cotton, rum and tobacco. For the shipowner, the deal was risky but very profitable. Each stage was profitable and the cost of the ship could be recovered in just a few trips. The triangle trade was practiced on a full scale since the 17th century and reached its peak in the late 18th century.
