In what ways might food webs, food chains, and predator-prey relationships be different in a pond, an estuary, and the gulf of mexico?

Pond food web has an large variety of animal and plant species, estuary food web shows transfer of nutrients and the food web of Gulf of Mexico supports fishery.

Explanation:

The food web of pond is quite vast, the producer plant level produces plant tissues to support the rest of the levels of food web. The food chain of a pond is consisted of the organism like- algae, fish, snails, frogs etc.

The estuarine food web is an example of nutrient transfer between organisms, like- the invertebrates consume plants and they are consumed by small fish. The region of coral reefs and estuaries, The Gulf of Mexico gives support to fishery.

A pond can be described as a small area with water. As the area of a pond is smaller, only a few aquatic animals  will be present here. The food chains and food webs will be very simple. Fresh water animals and plants will be able to live here.

An estuary is a coastal area with more saltish water than a lake. As it has water from many rivers, hence estuary will have diversified food webs containing animals and plants who can withstand the saltish environments.

A gulf will have water from oceans and will be a lot bigger than an estuary. The organisms here will be adapted to live in saline conditions. The food chains and food webs will be complex as there will be more number of animals and plants.

a. as the temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the gas molecules increases & the molecules move faster & further away from each other.

b. if you decrease the temperature of a fixed amount of gas at constant pressure, the combined gas law reduces to charles's law. in this case, volume will also decrease.

from almost the creation of the first true maps of the earth, people started seeing how continents would be able to fit together.   in particular, people noticed that south america fits almost exactly into africa.

you should be aware that while world maps were around early in the 1600’s and better defined by the end of the 1700’s, those maps were not ‘public’ but were treated as state secrets.   and so it was not till much later that the broader ‘science’ community had access to good quality and accurate world maps.

get the whole story here…

it is now known that most of the major continental masses can be fit together in a jigsaw process.   in fact we now know that the continents were indeed once all joined together as one land mass – the supercontinent of pangaea.

if you look at most world maps you will ponder how this is evidence, as the continents really don’t appear to ‘fit’ together very well.   what you need to understand is that the vast majority of maps are drawn using a map projection that has the north and south poles (which are points) are a line the width of the map at the top and bottom.   this means that the map distorts the true shape of the earth’s land and oceans as you love closer to the poles.     some other map projections distort less, but have the map shape looking like segments of an orange.   see here for a range of map projections.   check out the way greenland changes size in each!

what is more remarkable, is the next piece of evidence when added to the shape of continents.

location of mountains and fossils

what is remarkable, when you reassemble all the continents together, the ancient mountain ranges (many now eroded to their cores) and the location of rock types and fossils all match up.
