The flow of energy in an ecosystem is best described as energy moving in one direction from the sun to the producers then to the consumers.
Explanation;
Energy flow is the amount of energy that moves through successive trophic levels of a food chain in an ecosystem. Ecosystem maintain themselves by cycling energy and nutrients.
The energy from sunlight is taken up by producers which use it to produce organic compounds through photosynthesis. The energy is then passed successively to the trophic levels, that is from the producers to the consumers ( primary, secondary, tertiary and quotienary consumers). During this transfer some energy is lost at each trophic level in form of heat.
Answer:
C.
Explanation:
Absolute dating is defined as the method used to determine the age of biotic or abiotic things on a specified chronology in geology and archaeology.
Layers of the soil are used to determine the age of a geologic event is not a form of absolute dating because the deepest river deposits in the specific basin is used to determine the geological event.
So, the deposits of soil are used to tell the the age of a geologic event and not the layers of soil.
Hence, the correct option is C.
Since the country has a smaller area and a large amount of people (although smaller than Australia) the ratio of land to people in New Zealand is much larger than the ration of land to people in Australia.
