The formula used can be found in Quora.com (population*average height)/Earth's circumference), gives the result of the number of the human chain.

If the average height of an American is 1.77m and the US population is  326, 292, 068 (June 2, 2017) and if everyone is already an adult. 

US population 326, 292, 068
Average height according to study
is estimated as the same as arm span  <span>1.77
</span>Earth circumference in meters: <span>40,075,000
</span>
<span>
(</span>326, 292, 068 people * 1.77m) / 40,075,000m = 14.411 times

Describe the three types of predation and give an example of each.
uranmaximum [27]
<span>True predation is when a predator kills and eats its prey. Some predators of this type, such as jaguars, kill large prey. They tear it apart and chew it before eating it. Others, like bottlenose dolphins or snakes, may eat their prey whole. In some cases, the prey dies in the mouth or the digestive system of the predator. Baleen whales, for example, eat millions of plankton at once. The prey is digested afterward. True predators may hunt actively for prey, or they may sit and wait for prey to get within striking distance. In grazing , the predator eats part of the prey but does not usually kill it. You may have seen cows grazing on grass. The grass they eat grows back, so there is no real effect on the population. In the ocean, kelp (a type of seaweed) can regrow after being eaten by fish.</span>

Many different organisms live in Amanda’s garden. The diagram shows a simple food web of some of the organisms in her garden.
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

The snakes keep the mice from overpopulating, which could deplete their resources.

Explanation:

The mice and the moles are not competing against each other as they feed on different food. The problem is that if the mice population is not regulated, their very quick reproduction will cause overpopulation in very short space of time. The more mice there will be , the more food will be needed, so very soon the resources will be depleted, resulting in collapse of the mice population. This is where the snakes come in action, as they eat mice, so they are the ones that control and keep their population stable, thus not allowing the mice to overpopulate the area and destroy themselves.
