An ecological pyramid is shown. If the grass receives 75,000 kg of energy from the Sun, which organism would receive 750 kg of that energy?

On March 27, 1980, a series of volcanic explosions and pyroclastic flows began at Mount St. Helens in Skamania County, Washington, United States. How did this eruption interfered with producers ability to make energy using the sun?

• by using up large volumes of nearby atmospheric oxygen

• by releasing excess energy from Earth’s interior

• by using up heat energy stored in Earth’s core

• by releasing dust that blocks sunlight from reaching Earth

​ ​ If biodiversity​ increases , the sustainability of that ecosystem​ (a)   .

• increases
• decreases
• stays the same
