Whales

Japan's earthquake could affect San Francisco through the propagation of seismic waves across the Pacific Ocean. Due to the interconnected nature of tectonic plate boundaries, a large earthquake in Japan could trigger seismic activity along the Pacific Ring of Fire, potentially impacting areas like San Francisco along the North American Plate boundary.

To save themselves. Colossal Squids are one of the prey species that Sperm Whales feed on. It is natural for any prey species to try to protect itself when it is attacked by a predator. So, when a sperm whale attacks a colossal squid it tries to attack the sperm whale to save its life.

Viruses can attach themselves to host cells, bacteria, fungi, and other viruses for the purpose of infecting and replicating within these organisms. They require a specific receptor on the surface of the target cell to bind and gain entry for their replication process.

True. In all forms of symbiosis, at least one organism benefits from the relationship. This can include mutualism, where both organisms benefit, or commensalism, where one organism benefits while the other is neither helped nor harmed.

A culture-fair test aims to provide an unbiased assessment of cognitive abilities by minimizing cultural influences that could advantage or disadvantage test-takers from different cultural backgrounds. This type of test is designed to measure intelligence or other skills in a way that is fair and equitable for all individuals, regardless of their cultural background.

Aminoaciduria-- The abnormal presence of amino acids in the urine.Secondary or renal aminoaciduria occurs because of a congenital defect in the amino acid transport system in the tubules of the kidneys.

Dams can have various negative effects on ecosystems, such as altering the natural flow of water, disrupting fish migration patterns, and reducing water quality downstream. They can also lead to habitat loss, changes in sediment flow, and impact the overall biodiversity of the ecosystem. Additionally, dams can contribute to the decline of certain species and disrupt the balance of the ecosystem.

Birds such as Geese and Ducks migrate due to the cold tempuratures in the Northern states, causing the lakes and rivers to freeze over, making it impossible to land on the water to reach their main and almost only source of food, weeds and small fish. Birds such as Robins migrate because their main diet consists of berries and nuts, and usually they are not available during the winter and therefore must migrate to the South where the berries grow year-round. However, animals like bears hibernate since they don't have the time or strength to travel such long lengths to reach warmer climates, and therefore stock up on as much food as they can in their bellies before going into a long slumber in a protected and supposedly warmer location like a cave or hole in the ground

(that's me!!!!!!!!!!)

A throat culture is performed to detect the presence of bacteria or viruses causing infections in the throat, such as streptococcus bacteria responsible for strep throat. This test helps to determine the most effective treatment for the infection by identifying the specific organism causing the illness.

Depends on lots of stuff:

- what kind of whale, what kind of shark

- what are their respective sizes

- is either of them actively hunting or feeding

- is the whale part of a pod with or without young

One interesting case I know of is a pair of Orca whales were feeding on a Sea Lion when one of them spotted a 3-4 meter Great White Shark close by. The Orca immediately took off, killed it and ate it.

No, it is not possible to obtain whale oil from whales without killing them. Whale oil is typically extracted from the blubber of whales after they have been killed for that purpose. Efforts are being made to promote sustainable alternatives to whale oil.

You can create a food web diagram to show predatory and parasitic relationships between several species. Start by placing the primary producers at the bottom, followed by the primary consumers (herbivores) and then the secondary and tertiary consumers (predators and parasites) above them. Use arrows to indicate the direction of energy flow and relationships between species.

Some species of whales engage in a form of mutualism with fish. For example, certain types of whales may work together with fish to capture prey by herding them into a concentrated group for easier feeding. This behavior benefits both the whales and the fish involved.

Yes they do. For example, when a female humpback whale reach her breeding grounds, she will announce her arrival by turning onto her back, and slapping the water with her huge flippers. Several males will soon come on the scene, the female will then swim away, with her suitors giving chase for hours. Each male will compete with each other, to be by the females side. These chases can get very aggressive, and humpbacks have been known to be killed fighting for the females acceptance, and the right to mate. Constantly banging into each other, using deep bellowing sounds, and masses of bubbles to intimidate, they breach out of the water, trying to submerge their rivals; Until finally the victor breaks free to be by the females side, and everything goes calm once more.

The female actively encourages this behavior, to ensure that she has secured the strongest male to breed with. Only then, will the male and the female descend into the depths, where mating will take place.

Whales play a crucial role in marine ecosystems as they help regulate the populations of their prey species, such as krill and fish. Their large bodies also act as nutrient recyclers, distributing essential nutrients throughout the ocean when they defecate at the surface. Additionally, their movements and migrations contribute to nutrient transport and ocean mixing, which can benefit other marine organisms.

The length of a whale can vary greatly depending on the species. For example, a blue whale, the largest animal on Earth, can grow up to about 30 meters in length, which is equal to 30,000 millimeters.

Whales and dolphins reproduce through sexual reproduction. Mating occurs in water, with the male fertilizing the female's eggs internally. The gestation period varies, with whales typically carrying their young for 10-18 months and dolphins for around 11-17 months.

Whales slap their tails on the water for communication, to warn predators, or to stun prey. It creates a loud noise that can be heard from far distances, helping them stay connected with their pod or alert others to danger.

Krill swarms are easy 2 million strong. so imagine of a whale runs into a few swarms. The gorge themselves oin it, whales can eat 3 tons of krill a day! But also whales store alot of fat. A mother whale will taker her calves to safe water for the calf to grow strong and can so 5 months with out eating. If you are really interested you should watch planet earth shallow seas show.

The smallest species of whale is the dwarf sperm whale (Kogia sima), which measures around 8 to 9 feet in length. They are part of the toothed whale family, and are known for their elusive behavior in the ocean.

The reason they can provide enough food is because whales eat so many of them (10-15 tons).

Whales have abdominal mammary slits, which conceal nipples from which a calf suckle.

Whales live in the ocean. They do not have homes. Their home is the ocean. If the ocean becomes too polluted for the whales to live in (the Gulf of Mexico for example), they will just have to swim somewhere else to live.
