In the late 1960s, Robert Paine conducted landmark studies on diversity in the rocky intertidal zone, comparing the species dive

rsity in control plots with diversity in experimental plots from which he removed the top predator, sea stars. After 5 years, 15 species of intertidal invertebrates lived in the control plots, while the experimental plots were dominated by only two species, one mussel and one barnacle. The process MOST likely responsible for the loss of species diversity in the experimental plots was:A. mutualism.B. predation.C. competitive exclusion.D. parasitism.E. resource partitioning.

Answer:

C: competitive exclusion

Explanation:

<em>The competitive exclusion principle states that organisms living in the same community while competing for the same resources cannot coexist at a constant population rate. </em>

Once some of the species within the community get a slight competitive edge over other species, they become dominant and this might lead to the extinction of the weaker species in the long run.

<u>In the experimental plot, the removal of sea stars provided mussel and barnacle with a competitive advantage over other species within the community (sea stars are predators of mussels and barnacles). This led to the dominance of mussel and barnacle and the eventual extinction of other species within the experimental plot as compared to the control plot.</u>

The correct answer is C.

Where is most of the co2 that has outgassed from earth’s volcanoes?
NARA [144]

Answer:

Locked up in rocks .

Explanation:

The volcano consists of the high melted lava that are present in the rupture of the earth's crust. The disturbances and movement in the tectonic plates might cause volcano eruption.

The volcanic eruption releases large amount of carbon dioxide, ash and harmful chemicals. The carbon dioxide that are erupted is locked in the rocks that are present on the earth's surface. The carbon dioxide is stored in the form of carbonates in the rock.

Thus, the answer is locked up in rocks .
