kelp

kelp are large brown algae that live in cool, relatively shallow waters close to the shore

coral

jaii11savage — 2024-01-19 15:01:41 UTC

corals have tentacle like arms they use to capture their food from the water and sweep into their inscrutable mouths

primary consumer

jaii11savage — 2024-01-19 15:05:45 UTC

most starfish sport spiny skin and five arms surrounding a central disk-shape body

primary consumer

jaii11savage — 2024-01-19 15:06:46 UTC

a semitransparent body flattened from side to side, a flexible abdomen and a fanlike tail

primary consumer

jaii11savage — 2024-01-19 15:07:46 UTC

they are unique in appearance, with their horse like head, prehensile tail, independently moving eyes, and brood pouch

secondary consumer

jaii11savage — 2024-01-19 15:08:59 UTC

dolphins have smooth skin, flippers, a dorsal fin, a slender snout with about 100 teeth, and a streamlined body

tertiary consumer

jaii11savage — 2024-01-19 15:09:53 UTC

megalodon are fishes and most have the typical fusiform body shape; like other fishes, they are cold blooded, live in water, have fins, and breathe with gills

clam

jaii11savage — 2024-01-19 15:11:41 UTC

this unique species is found to be a wide variety of colors, created by a contrast between algae inside the clam and the clam's natural pigment

fresh water

jaii11savage — 2024-01-21 02:07:37 UTC

my climate water is the fresh's of fresh thanks to the clams that get rid of all the nasty stuff

color

jaii11savage — 2024-01-21 02:12:31 UTC

the color of my water is a deep blue with a hint of green from the algae at the bottom of my body of water

seasons

jaii11savage — 2024-01-21 02:15:32 UTC

my climate experience all seasons

sunlight

jaii11savage — 2024-01-21 02:22:22 UTC

my body of water gets tons of sunlight as most of is surface is not covered by anything

aquatic zone

jaii11savage — 2024-01-21 02:28:51 UTC

my climate falls between photic and aphotic aquatic zones

what if.....

jaii11savage — 2024-01-21 03:01:50 UTC

if all primary consumers like starfish, shrimp, and seahorses were extinct the producers would began to overpopulate which would lead to an imbalance of nutrients and oxygen in the water; the dolphins wound struggle to find food which could decrease the population then pass that onto the megalodons

what if...

jaii11savage — 2024-01-21 04:01:43 UTC

if all the giant clams were removed from this climate the dead matter and debris in the waters this would disrupt the nutrient cycle and the water would become dirty and too overwhelming for the other organisms to thrive
