Answer:

Minerals can form in all geological environments, which allows them to have a wide range of chemical and physical conditions. Two forms of this are temperature and pressure. There are 4 main categories of mineral formations.   Igneous is where the minerals crystalize from a melt. Sedimentary is where the raw materials of the mineral are particles from other rocks that have suffered from erosion and weathering. Metamorphic is where new minerals are created from earlier ones owing to the effects of change. Most of the time it's from increasing temperature and/or pressure. Hydrothermal is where the minerals are chemically precipitated from hot solutions in the earth.

How are predation and competition essential for maintaining a thriving ecosystem?
Elis [28]

Answer:

<u>Both of these are necessary to maintain overpopulation of any species in an ecosystem.</u>

Explanation:

  • Predation is an act in which one organism eats another organism present in the ecosystem.

  • The one eaten is called prey, while the dominant organism is called Predator.

  • Since an ecosystem is made up of many organisms along with the natural resources present in it.

  • This gives rise to different species competing against one another.

  • If one of these species is at a certain advantage, their population will rise uncontrollably hence to prevent this a predator plays a major role.

  • On the other hand, competition is a term which describes the harm caused to two different organisms.

  • This is due to the limited number of natural resources like food, water or shelter etc.

  • Organisms who are less likely to adapt according to the changing environment ultimately die.

  • For example, Plant roots over time lessen the amount of nitrogen present in the soil, causing the neighboring plant to die.
