When a whale carcass sinks to the ocean floor it creates an environment appropriate for succession to happen. how would you explain this phenomenon? the chemical compounds in the whale carcass degrade over time and become fossilized remains that form the ocean floor. the cold water at the ocean depth doesn't allow for the whale carcass to be consumed by other organisms, creating a safe habitat in which organisms can live. the whale carcass breaks down over time because different communities of organisms will feed on the whale for months. the whale carcass is broken down very quickly by a community of fish and bacteria, at the end of which the whale will be completely consumed.
