lala that's what I think
What else can I help you with?
What effect do small burrowing animals and earthworms have on rocks and soil in the ground?
The worms help the soil, thus helping plants. They eat food that you throw out, and their body waste helps the soil. They break down minerals into forms that are more easily used by plants. Small burrowing animals sometimes eat things that might damage plant roots, which helps plants too. This affects us because it makes our food from the plants healthier.
What would happen if earthworms went extinct?
If all the earthworms disappeared from a lawn, more earthworms would come in. But, if your question is that what would happen if earthworms would no longer live in a lawn, then the lawn would become less fertile, because earthworms keep the soil good.
What role do earthworms play in the environment?
Earthworms eat leaves and grass. They dig holes in the ground. They let air circulate under the ground. Because earthworms eat the leaves that fall off the trees, the forest floor is not covered with dead leaves 20 feet high. Instead the earthworms start the leaves decomposing and on their way to making new soil. The earthworms also dig tunnels in the ground. This lets the roots of plants breathe. The roots of plants have difficulty breathing in hard packed soil. Earthworms make plants possible.
Do pet rats eat earthworms?
They might, but it isn't good for them and will most likely get them sick or give them a stomach ache or diaria at the least. Not a good thing to feed them, try seeds :)
How do earthworms decompose?
When you think of a web, you probably don't think of earthworms, do you? What comes to mind? A spider web? The World Wide Web? How about a duck's webbed feet? Well, there's another kind of web you might not know about. It's the soil foodweb. The soil foodweb is the set of organisms that work underground to help plants grow. There are billions of organisms that make up the soil foodweb. These include bacteria, fungi, protozoa, nematodes, arthropods and earthworms. Each type of organism plays an important role in keeping the soil healthy for all living things.
How might the earthworms lack of appendages be an adaptation to burrowing?
Earthworms lack appendages to prevent getting stuck in burrows, as they move by elongating and contracting their bodies. This streamlined form allows them to navigate through soil easily. Additionally, not having appendages reduces surface area, helping them move efficiently through their burrowing activities.
How might an earthworm's lack of appendages be an adaptation to burrowing?
An earthworm's lack of appendages helps reduce drag as it moves through the soil, making burrowing more efficient. The worm's cylindrical shape also allows it to move easily through tight spaces underground. Additionally, the lack of appendages minimizes the risk of getting stuck in narrow tunnels.
How might an earthworms lack of appendages be an adaptation to burowing?
An earthworm's lack of appendages is an adaptation that enhances its ability to burrow through soil. The streamlined, elongated body allows it to move efficiently through tight spaces, reducing resistance as it pushes through the earth. This body shape also minimizes the chance of getting snagged on obstacles in the soil, enabling the worm to navigate its environment effectively while aerating the soil and facilitating nutrient cycling.
How might a earthworm cause physical weathering?
Earthworms can cause physical weathering by burrowing through soil, which can create tunnels that allow air and water to penetrate deeper into the ground. As they move through the soil, earthworms can also push rocks and sediment to the surface, exposing them to the elements and contributing to the breakdown of rocks through processes like frost wedging.
What might happen to the soil if there were no earthworms?
Dead plants and animals would pile up if it were not for the earthworms.
How do you gather earthworms in winter time?
If it is a rainy day some might show up. You can buy earthworms too.
What might you like without your skeleton?

Do earthworms sing?

What might you look like without your skeleton?

What would be digging in mulch?
All kinds of small animals might be digging in mulch to find a home at night. Chipmunks and rabbits might dig in mulch to hide from predators. Field mice might also dig in mulch to make a nest.
What kind of appendages do arthopods have?
Due to the rigidity of the arthropod exoskeleton, the safest answer might be "jointed' ones - hence the phylum's name Arthropoda, from the Greek, meaning, jointed appendages. They do evidence a variety of appendages: legs, pincers, wings, swimmerets, antennae, tails, etc., depending on what environment and food source they are adapted to.
What might a series helpful variations in a species result in?
Adaptation
