Answer:
9.) <em>Humpback Whales</em>
10.) <em>Phytoplankton.</em>
11.) <em>Sotronger upwelling winds</em>
Explanation:
9.) A primary consumer feeds on primary producers, of all the options given Humpback Whales, are the only ones meeting the criteria in the options given since they feed with plankton (a primary producer).
10.) Phytoplankton are the base of the Southern Antarctic Ocean trophic chain. In the nutrient-rich upwelling zone waters, they can reach huge blossoms and are far more common than other forms of zooplankton in this zone.
11.) The productivity of this ecosystem is influenced by the seasonal cycle of the upwelling winds, these peak during the months of December and January, carrying more nutrients and allowing trophic networks to work more efficiently and actively allowing for more productivity.
Because the earth is made of rock. therefore, rock doesn’t grow. However, tectonic plates within the earths crust shift that cause earthquakes and tsunamis.
Poland has been Catholic for a long while and since the Church is an ecclesiestical institution, it plays no big role in trade. The Soviet Union had a very protective attitude towards its products and only a few categories of them were exported; it is quite possible that exports dropped during this period. THe Warsaw Pact marked a significant counterpoint to the NATO initiative but most countries were already good trade partners to the Soviet Union (and again, the pact was not about trade). The right answer is European Union; the open borders and the influx of technology has increased the potential for exports from Poland.
