SEASONAL CHANGES

[LaNcE222]

Seasonal changes can drastically affect nutritional relationships in an ecosystem. I have some phramids that indicate the different energy relationships in a pond in winter and summer. One goes from( top to bottom) small then big then big then big again. The other goes small big big and small again. Why does this shift happens and why does this have to be a temporary shift? Can anyone please answer this? THANKS A LOT

Temporary because the seasons are temporary. Note the energy changes during winter.

P.S. why is everytime something is called a pyramid, it’s actually a triangle? Food pyramid, energy pyramid….

You know Dave, I asked the same thing to my ecology teacher.. She said it is because it sounds better 🙂

When I invent a new model I’m going to call it a flat cone =P

I said that and she said that it wasn’t correct 😈

[MrMistery]

Flat cone! LOL! Or you could call it a cube. it’s about as close to triangle as a pyramid

What was the answer she gave?
