exist without energy Energy flows in one direction thru the ecosystem eg. Green plants (autotrophs) harness light energy from the sun. An another consumers eat the autotrophs and other consumers. This flow of energy is a consequence on the laws of thermodynamics‚ were in sense that energy can neither be stored or created‚ but is transferred from one type to another. At which sun is converted to heat. The transfer of energy in an ecosystem‚ can be showed in a number of ways eg as a food chain‚ food

The Earth - it’s an intricate formation of land and sea‚ rock and metal‚ but how can the movements of the continents be explained‚ or how do deep ocean trenches affect us? The three main theories that explain how these things work are sea-floor spreading‚ continental drift‚ and plate tectonics. These are the theories that give us explanation as to why the continents move‚ how plate tectonics work‚ etc. These theories were formed by different scientists and with different forms of evidence‚ some scientists
