Explanation:

Our Solar System consists of our star, the Sun, and its orbiting planets (including Earth), along with numerous moons, asteroids, comet material, rocks, and dust. Our Sun is just one star among the hundreds of billions of stars in our Milky Way Galaxy. If we shrink the Sun down to smaller than a grain of sand, we can imagine our Solar System to be small enough to fit onto the palm of your hand.  Pluto would orbit about an inch from the middle of your palm.

A volcanic island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean explodes, and all life is removed from the island. However, decades later,
Tasya [4]

Answer:

secondary succession

Explanation:

In the described scenario we have a destruction of an ecosystem because of natural causes, volcano in this case. All that has left after the volcanic eruption has been barren land. After this has happened life started colonizing the volcanic island again, in a process known as primary succession. In the primary succession it is the organisms that have the lowest of requirements for survival that will inhabit the island. Over time, as they die, they will provide biomass for the ground, thus soil will start to form. Once there's soil formed a process called secondary succession will start. In this process the island will start to be inhabited by some plants and smaller animals. These plants and animals will contribute to further enhancing the living conditions on the island, and the island will gradually be getting larger plants and larger animals, thus a new ecosystem will be formed on the place of the old one.

What are some of the benefits humans receive from altering their environment? Write your answer in a paragraph of at least five
drek231 [11]

Answer:

Humans alter their environment in many ways. We burn fossil fuels to produce electricity and to power cars, airplanes, and much more. We also remove land to build businesses, homes, and stores, and to grow food. We cut down forests to make things like paper, desks, and houses, and we hunt or raise animals for food. And lastly, we divert rivers to store water in reservoirs and to irrigate farmland.
