GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -There are more herbivores than carnivores. An ecosystem cannot support a large number of omnivores without supporting an even larger number of herbivores, and an even larger number of autotrophs.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are more herbivores than carnivores in a food chain because. (i) Much energy is lost in the transfer of energy from herbivores to carnivores. (ii) A larger number of herbivores is needed to support a smaller number of carnivores. (iii) This is the way for the food chain to stay in the equilibrium.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most dinosaurs were plant-eaters (herbivores) about 65% of them. Some dinosaurs were meat-eaters (carnivores). Dinosaurs had many different distinguishing features that you can read more about when reading facts on each dinosaur.

Detailed explanation-4: -In a habitat, herbivores are expected to outnumber carnivores. This is because carnivores depend upon herbivores for their food and get energy by consuming herbivores.

Detailed explanation-5: -Perhaps one third (or 500, 000) of all described species are herbivores.
