Based on the empirical data and information you have learned about ecosystems and the services they provide, do you support or refute the claim that increases in wetlands, forested buffers, and submerged aquatic vegetation will result in increases in the blue crab population and other fisheries over time? Include appropriate evidence andscientific reasoning to support your claim.

Yes.

Explanation:

Yes, I support the claim that increases in wetlands, forested buffers, and submerged aquatic vegetation will result in increases in the blue crab population and other fisheries because these wetlands, forested buffers and submerged aquatic vegetation provides habitat and food to the crabs and other fishes. Due to availability of suitable environment and more food availability to the crab and fishes which leads to increase their population.

c. earths continental crust is thicker than its lithosphere.

because, the lithosphere is the outermost layer of the earth/ 100 km thick and is defined by its machanical properties.the lithosphere contains oceanic and continental crust that varies in age and thickness across locations and geologic time. the lithosphere is the coolest layer of the earth in terms of temperature. the term lithosphere should not be confused with the use of "geosphere" which is used to indicate all of earth systems, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere   and biosphere. the surface of the earth can be divided into the continental crust and the oceanic crust.   the continental crust is made mostly of granite while the oceanic crust is made of basalt. the average thickness of the continental crust is 25 miles and the average thickness of the oceanic crust is 5 miles.   three types of rock, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, make up the surface of the earth. that's why 3 option is preferable.

stimulus is a change in the environment that causes an organism to react. the response is the reaction to the stimulus. some examples of stimuli for zebras are drought, to many predators, and bad feeding grounds such as dead grass or plants. zebras respond to stimuli just like all other living organisms
