Harvey is studying the turtles that live in a pond. his knowledge of ecology will be most useful for explaining which of these observations of the turtles?

His knowledge on ecology will be helpful in determining how the turtles interact with the environment. Ecology is the study of ecosystems, and turtles play an important role as a consumer.

My best logical guess is D. Why would the turtle have to go above the water. If their living in a pond, then studying them above water makes no sense. So it's most useful if they are remaining underwater for many minutes at a time then reach for the surface, so that's the answer most likely, but i have no idea.

So... D. A turtle may remain underwater for several minutes, but then surfaces for at least a brief moment.

the oceanic zone is typically defined as the area of the ocean lying beyond the continental shelf, but operationally is often referred to as beginning where the water depths drop to below 100 meters (328 feet), seaward from the coast to the open ocean.
