Pyramids

The alignment of the pyramids of Giza with the stars in Orion's Belt is speculated to be a representation of the pharaoh's connection to the stars or as a way to guide the pharaoh's soul to the afterlife. It could also be a way to honor the gods and their importance to ancient Egyptian religion and beliefs in the afterlife.

The northward pointing air shafts in the pyramids were believed to have been used for ventilation and to bring fresh air into the chambers deep within the pyramid. They also had symbolic significance, aligning with certain stars or celestial bodies important in ancient Egyptian religion and beliefs.

If a pyramid were to be struck by a tornado, it would likely sustain damage to its exterior walls and possibly lose some stones or show signs of structural weakening. The tornado could cause debris to scatter around the base of the pyramid and may result in some visible destruction to nearby structures or buildings.

The tallest pyramid on Earth is the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, standing at approximately 455 feet (138 meters) tall. It is one of the original Seven Wonders of the World and remains a marvel of ancient engineering and architecture.

Ecological pyramids show the relative amount of energy or biomass stored at each trophic level in a food web. They illustrate the decrease in energy or biomass as it moves up the trophic levels due to inefficiencies in energy transfer.

True. Ecological pyramids illustrate the flow of energy or matter through trophic levels in a food web by arranging organisms based on their position in the food chain. Generally, the lower the trophic level, the greater the amount of energy or biomass that can be supported.

There are approximately 138 known pyramids on Earth, with the most famous ones located in Egypt. Other notable pyramid sites include those in Mexico, Sudan, and China. These ancient structures were built by different civilizations for religious, funerary, and ceremonial purposes.

There is much debate on this subject. Many researchers believe a different number of pyramids due to certain specifications. The highest number of suspected pyramids sits at a little over 100 structures.

It is mainly presented in a graph form and deals with the number of individuals in per unit area. It deals with multiple trophic levels with producers forming the base and the top carnivore occurs at the tip. It is upright in shape which means that the base is larger in size and it decreases as we move upwards. The numbers of organisms at the higher level are less in number as compared to the organisms which occur at the lower levels. The producer organisms are the largest in number. They support the herbivore and carnivore which are fewer in the number. In the land the grass is eaten by the grasshopper. The grasshopper is eaten by the frog and the frog is eaten by the snake. Ultimately, the snake is eaten by the peacock. In the other aquatic food chain, the phytoplankton is eaten by the zooplankton. The zooplankton is eaten by the small crustaceans. The small crustaceans are eaten by the predator insects. The predator insects are eaten by the small fish. The small fish are eaten by the large fish. This is followed by the kingfisher. The kingfisher is least in number. At the higher trophic levels the number of pyramids is usually smaller in size. The higher organisms are dependent on the lower organisms for their food. When the energy is transferred from one level to the other 90 percent of it is wasted and only 10 percent of it is utilized. Sometimes the single sized tree provides food to the number of herbivore like birds which support a large number of ecto parasites. This is an inverted pyramid. The small sized birds are eaten by the eagles which are fewer in number. They form a spindle shape pyramid.

There are many pyramids on Earth, but some of the most well-known ones include the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt (3 main pyramids), the Pyramid of the Sun in Mexico, and the Nubian pyramids in Sudan. There are estimated to be around 120-138 known pyramids in Egypt alone.

Raymond Lindeman is credited with coining the term "ecological pyramids" in his seminal paper "The Trophic-Dynamic Aspect of Ecology" published in 1942. He used the term to describe graphical representations of trophic relationships within ecosystems.

The pyramids are located on the continent of Africa, specifically in Egypt.

It is on the African continent.

Coal mining: Areas where limestone is found often have coal deposits

Steel making: Limestone is used as catalyst in the smelting process from ore to liquid iron.

Railways: ballast on which the track rests is usually limestone. It was used as a building material mainly for road bridges and station buildings

No, they are not on the same Latitude and Longitude lines. The Great Pyramid of Giza is located in Egypt at approximately 29.9792° N, 31.1342° E, while the Mayan pyramid, such as those in Chichen Itza, are located in Mexico at various latitudes and longitudes.

Producer organisms are at the base of all ecological pyramids. They are the only organisms which can make their own food (autotrophs). The overwhelming majority of them are green plants and single celled organisms which photosynthesise, though a few are chemautotrophs, that is they get energy from inorganic materials.

Energy pyramids depict the flow of energy through different trophic levels in an ecosystem. They show how energy is transferred from one organism to another, with energy decreasing as it moves up the pyramid due to loss of energy through metabolic processes.

Producers, such as plants or algae, are at the base of all ecological pyramids. They convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis, which then flows through the food chain to support all other organisms in the ecosystem.

Thousands of naked slaves toiled and died in the blazing Egyptian sun to build these monuments to vanity and absolute power.

Based on an energy pyramid, we can conclude that energy is lost as you move up trophic levels. This is due to the inefficiency of energy transfer through the food chain, with only a fraction of energy being passed on at each level. As a result, there is less biomass and fewer organisms present at higher trophic levels.

The three types of food pyramids are the traditional food pyramid, the Mediterranean food pyramid, and the Asian food pyramid. Each pyramid emphasizes different food groups and proportions based on cultural dietary patterns.

Pyramids are most likely man-made, but no one knows for sure. Lots of people say aliens built it, but I highly doubt that. Otherwise, Aliens would have come back, and Egyptians may have records of it. Archaeologist and Egyptologist Alexander Badawy proposed a theory in the 1960's that the Pyramids and other unexplained megalith structures all have the Fibonacci Sequence in common. Much like plants, animals, cells, galaxies…etc. This along with years of research lead him to believe that the pyramids might be naturally occurring structures in the same way that other structures made of material matter organize themselves in a similar way to pyramids, spheres, squares.. and other geometric shapes and patterns, these just happen to be on a large scale. Alexander Badawy wrote many books that were published for scholarly use. The one I'm referring to is called Ancient Egyptian architectural design: A study of harmonic system.

The energy pyramid is made up of trophic levels, which represent the different levels of organisms in an ecosystem based on their position in the food chain. It shows how energy flows through an ecosystem, with each trophic level receiving energy from the level below it and transferring some to the level above. The pyramid reflects the decreasing energy available at each successive trophic level due to energy loss through metabolism and heat.

Primary producers (plants, algae) decomposers (worms, fungi)

Primary consumers (herbivores)

Secondary consumers (carnivores)

Trimary consumers (carnivores)

usually stops there because of energy loss
