Why are Earth's materials and energy considered to be in equilibrium? (can be multiple answers)
butalik [34]

The correct answer is option A ,  C and D

The earths material is recycled and this can be visualized from the different chain cycles such as nitrogen cycle, carbon cycle , sulphur cycle, water cycle etc. These basic components which constitute all the matter existing on earth are continuously recycled and reused. Likewise the energy obtained from sun is neither created nor destroyed; it is only converted from one form of energy to the other form. Such as heat energy obtained from sun is converted into kinetic energy when it converts water into water vapor.

Suppose a population of crabs in a certain tidal ecosystem thrives. These male crabs have one large claw and one small claw, but
Effectus [21]

Answer: The population having one large claw will have more offspring as compared to the ones having smaller claw.

Explanation:

A population of crabs has two types of crabs in it, one with larger claw and other with smaller claw. They will try to attract the female crab in order to mate.

The males having larger claw are more attractive to the females. Females choose to prefer larger claw over smaller claw because they will have a big burrow which will help her incubate her eggs and they are older (survivor)because the crustaceans grow majority of their life.

So, the crab with large claw is likely to have more offspring than other one.
