In the open ocean, especially around the surface, one of the main sources of food for fish would be the algae that grow at the surface & photosynthesize with the sun. Without fish to regulate the amount of surface algae, they overgrow and block the sun from the organisms on the coral reef.

Without sun, the reef is not able to sustain themselves & it's down hill from there.

I hope this helps!

vovangra [49]
I think the correct answer would be the third option. Organisms that help break down dead organic material so it can be recycled into a usable form for other organisms are called decomposers and this would include some of the bacteria. Also, there is a number of bacteria that are capable of breaking down some of the harmful products like in recent studies there are bacteria that could dechlorinate the toxic PCB substance. Some bacteria, as well, lives in the human intestines which aids in the breaking down of the food into useful molecules. The third option is partially true since there are some bacteria like the cyanobacteria which produces oxygen but it does not contribute largely to the oxygen present in the atmosphere.

A scientist is using relative dating to determine the age of a fossil that she discovered.
Dmitry [639]

Answer: D.finding fossils in the same area that are in layers closer to the surface.

Relative dating refers to the age estimation method in which past events are determined, to compare the age of object, organism, strata or rock with the age of other similar entity. This method gives an approximate or estimated age, it does not provide absolute age.  

The older fossils are found in deeper layers of the strata as compared to younger fossils. This represents the geological time and life span of primitive or preexisting organisms. Therefore, according to the given situation, finding fossils in the same area that are in layers closer to the surface is the best conclusion.
