9. Surtsey is an island located south of Iceland that was formed by a volcanic eruption. Surtsey first
appeared in the 1960s. Ecologists documented the stages of succession as found below:
A. Dwarf willow trees begin to grow on the island.
B. Mosses, lichens, and plants that are adapted to be dispersed by the wind or sea and able to grow in
the sand appear on the island.
C. Vascular plants included sea lyme grass and oyster plants appear.
D. The lava and sand formation that resulted from the eruption are barren with few nutrients.

Explanation:

4.) metal

"-the movement of carbon from the nonliving environment into living things and back to the environment

-carbon is the essential component of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (which make up all organisms)

-carbon exists in air, water, and living organisms

-producers convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into carbohydrates during photosynthesis

-bacteria in the atmosphere cycles through the system in filtration units

-in cellular respiration, carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide

-some carbon is stored in limestone (forming one of the largest "carbon sinks" on earth)

-largest carbon reservoir on earth= limestone

-carbon stored in the bodies of organisms as fat, oils, or other molecules may be released into the soil or air when the organism dies

-this may form deposits of coal, oil, or natural gas (fossil fuels, which increased the atmospheric carbon dioxide)

-fossil fuels store carbon left over from bodies of organisms that died millions of years ago

-they are located in the surface of earth, deep within the earth and beneath the ocean floor."
