The benefit of a food patch is primarily determined by the nutrition value and density of food in an area. A high density of food may encourage an animal to take greater risks whilst feeding. However, as an animal feeds, there is a critical point at which the density of food available no longer out ways the cost of feeding at that site. This is called the giving up density. When the giving up density of a food patch is reached, the animal will leave the site and forage somewhere else.

What is calcific densities?

A calcific density is a medical phenomenon in which calcium builds up on body tissue and causes it to harden. Calcific densities can occur in many parts of the body. Calcific densities are caused by any disorder that leads calcium to be deposited in a part of the body other than the bones and teeth. Also known as calcifications, calcific densities can usually be seen in X-rays.


How do the densities of the jovian planets compare with the densities of the terrestrial planets?

Although a lot more massive, the four outer gas giant planets are less dense than the inner rocky planets. The densities of the four inner planets are between 3.94 g/cm3 to 5.515 g/cm3, ehile the outer gas planet densities range from 0.7 g/cm3 to 1.76 g/cm3.


Why are the densities of the terrestrial and jovian planets so different?

The terrestrial planets are primarily composed of rock and the jovian planets are mostly gas (primarily Hydrogen). Rock has a higher density than Hydrogen, giving the terrestrial planets a higher density.
