Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

Organic detritus usually refers to those materials that are the remains of dead organisms such as plants and animals.

The flowing water ecosystem such as the head-water streams obtains most of the materials from the nearby terrestrial and aquatic places due to the surface runoff. It is highly rich in the amount of organic detritus, as the materials such as leaves, branches, roots, soil particles, and other organic waste products are transported from the land areas, thereby obtains its energy from them.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

According to some scientists, which is a cause of global warming?
insens350 [35]

Answer:

Changes in solar energy

Explanation:

When released into the atmosphere, certain gases act like a blanket, preventing heat from escaping. One of the most important heat-trapping gases is carbon dioxide (CO2), which is released when we burn fossil fuels like oil, coal, and natural gas.

Once released, carbon dioxide stays in the atmosphere for roughly 40 years, though its effects stay much longer; other gases, like methane, are even longer-lived. The cumulative effect is to raise the planet’s temperature.
