Claire, an ecologist, is finding it difficult to identify an interaction in nature because of changing environmental conditions and the complex indirect interactions of multiple species. which interaction is claire trying to find in nature? a. interference competition b. apparent competition c. exploitation competition d. predation e. symbiosis

The correct answer is option C, that is, exploitation competition.

Explanation:

The competitions can be classified usually into two on the basis of the mechanism taking place, that is, the exploitation competition and interference competition. The competition among the organisms is indirect in case of exploitation competition, while in opposition to it is interference competition wherein in the association between the competing species is direct. However, though the interaction is not direct, the competition between the species in exploitation competition leads to depletion of the resources, thus, restricting the accessibility of the resources for other species.

a fossil fuel is a fuel formed by natural processes, such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms, containing energy originating in ancient photosynthesis.[1] the age of the organisms and their resulting fossil fuels is typically millions of years, and sometimes exceeds 650 million years.[2] fossil fuels contain high percentages of carbon and include petroleum, coal, and natural gas.[3] other commonly used derivatives include kerosene and propane. fossil fuels range from volatile materials with low carbon to hydrogen ratios like methane, to liquids like petroleum, to nonvolatile materials composed of almost pure carbon, like anthracite coal. methane can be found in hydrocarbon fields either alone, associated with oil, or in the form of methane clathrates.

the theory that fossil fuels formed from the fossilized remains of dead plants by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over millions of years was first introduced by andreas libavius "in his 1597 alchemia [alchymia]" and later by mikhail lomonosov "as early as 1757 and certainly by 1763".[4] the first use of the term "fossil fuel" was by the german chemist caspar neumann, in english translation in 1759.[5]

in 2017 the world's primary energy sources consisted of petroleum (34%), coal (28%), natural gas (23%), amounting to an 85% share for fossil fuels in primary energy consumption in the world.[6] non-fossil sources in 2006 included nuclear (8.5%), hydroelectric (6.3%), and others (geothermal, solar, tidal, wind, wood, waste) amounting to 0.9%.[7] world energy consumption was growing at about 2.3% per year. in 2015 about 18% of worldwide consumption was from renewable sources.[8]
