are able to synthesize organic substances from simple organic compounds, using light energy
from the sun, in the process of photosynthesis
Example: green plants and algae
-They provide food for all other organisms in food chains and food webs
Primary Consumers
Food Chain
Chemosynthesis
Producers
Term 3 of 93
Neap Tides
at other phases of the moon, such as the first quarter, the tidal range is smaller
the depth at which the concentration of dissolved oxygen is lowest
neap tides have the highest tidal range compared to other lunar phases
during neap tides, the tidal range is at its peak
,Definition 4 of 93
when the earth, moon, and sun are aligned
- the amplitude is greatest
Neap Tides
Muddy Shores

Why do corals absorb the energy of waves?
- predation
> Crown-of-Thorns Seastar
- storm damage
> physical breakage of corals
- exposure to air
> low tides can result to corals drying out and overheating
1) Convergent (plates move towards each other)
2) Divergent (plates move away from each other)
3) Transform (one moves up, other moves down)
-Earthquakes, mountains, volcano, and the formation of ocean trenches all occur along
these plate boundaries
-fish may save energy by swimming together
- large shoals of fish may confuse predators
- the time taken to find food is decreased
- increased chance of finding a mate within a shoal then there is for an individual fish
To protect the shoreline from erosion
- Benefits include:
> protection of coastal properties
> protection of ecosystems
> reducing the cost of providing breakwaters
> reduced wave action (less erosion)
