Ocean acidification is of considerable concern to environmental scientists as it could impact ocean biodiversity significantly. As
carbon dioxide levels increase in the atmosphere, the diffusion of this gas increases in the oceans too. The formation of carbonic acid
can impact species, as the lowered pH can cause weakening of shells made of calcium. Which of these species is not directly impacted
by ocean acidification?
A)
Sea turtles
Oysters
Corals
D)
Clams

answer:

convection currents in the magma drive plate tectonics. heat generated from the radioactive decay of elements deep in the interior of the earth creates magma (molten rock) in the aesthenosphere. the aesthenosphere (70 ~ 250 km) is part of the mantle, the middle sphere of the earth that extends to 2900 km.

answer;

a. sheep consumption efficiency would be reduced.

explanation;

-trophic efficiency is a measure of how much energy occurs at one level divided by the energy at the level immediately below it . trophic efficiency incorporates three types of efficiency:

-the proportion of available energy that is consumed (consumption efficiency).   it is the proportion of the available biomass that is ingested by consumers.

-the proportion of ingested food that is assimilated (assimilation efficiency).

-the proportion of assimilated food that goes into new consumer biomass (production efficiency).

-in this case, the grasshoppers would affect sheep by reducing the proportion of the available biomass that is ingested by the sheep.
