Question

How does the average number of drops required to break open a whelk depend on platform height for a drop of 5 meters or less? For drops of more than 5 meters?

Short answer

When the platform height is more, such as 5 meters or more, the drop numbers will be reduced due to their inverse relationship. When this platform height decreases, the average drop number rises.

Step-by-step solution

Food sources for animals 

Food sources can be derived synthetically or through natural means, such as plant and animal species, to support growth and provide energy to the living body.

Examples of food that birds (like crows) eat are insects, fruits, nuts, frogs, dead animals, bird eggs, stolen fish from eagles, seeds, grains, worms, and berries. The features of crow appearance are some crows having white patches on their black feathers, strong legs, and shiny feathers.

Ornithology

The scientific zoological branch that presents the research-based knowledge regarding bird species by collecting their preserved specimen, skin, and skeleton is called ornithology.

The several importances associated with the branch of zoology (such as ornithology) are bone structure identification of birds and ecosystem understanding to support life.

The distinct types of studies involved in ornithology are categorized as field and laboratory-based research to study bird structure and functioning.

Crow dropping whelk

The crow prefers larger whelk as its food, and then, the crow picks it up and flies high so that it can drop the whelk on the rock to expose its flesh.The crow tries to drop the whelk until it breaks open and then breaks its hard outer shell to obtain its exposed meat.

The average drop numbers and platform height are dependent on each other; both factors show an inverse relationship with each other.
