When energy passes from one trophic level to the next, I would guess that the two factors which decrease the total amount of energy from being passed up are:
1. An organism does not assimilate all the energy of food consumed. Within a consumer, digestion and assimilation of energy is not 100% efficient: some of the energy is lost.
2. A large proportion of energy assimilated by a producer and consumer is lost through respiration, i.e., day-to-day maintenance of metabolic processes.
Creep is a solid material's tendency to deform permanently under pressure or stress.
So, a cracked telephone pole or a broken sidewalk would be examples.
Answer:
While Americans constitute the 5% of the world population, they use around the 24% of the world's energy.
Then, if the 100% of the population were like the Americans, we have:
5%*x = 100%
x = 100%/5% = 20
the whole population is 20 times the population of the US, then the total energy used is 20 times the energy used in the US.
Then the energy that the 100% of the population would use is equal to:
20*24% = 480%
Sowe actually would need like 5 Earths.
So none of the options is matches this, but this may be because this question is about some specific resources and not for the specific energy used. The closest option is 200%
Answer:
Lower interest rates.
Explanation:
if a stock market crashes, the interest rates will also be lowered because they have a direct relationship between stock market and interest rates. When the stock market performs very good, the interest rates will be higher while on the other hand, if a stock market crashes, the interest rates will be lower so we can conclude that the interest rates will be lower if stock market crashes.
