    Volcanic eruptions significantly impact ecosystems. Producers like plants are often killed by ashfall and lava, depriving consumers of food. Consumers struggle to find new sources of nourishment, forcing many to relocate. Both biotic factors like living things and abiotic factors that comprise the environment are disrupted. The eruption can cause floods, fires, landslides and other damaging events. It also leads to changes in the landscape and climate over time. When multiple organisms occupy the same ecological niche, they must compete for limited resources, which can harm each other. They may also provide mutual protection against other threats.

    MODULE 2 ASSESSMENT TASK

    1. When volcanoes erupt, they disturb our ecosystems. We have learned in this
    Module that ecosystems are composed of biotic factors (living things) and abiotic
    factors (non-living things).

    In your own words, answer the following questions.

    a) How does volcanic eruption affect producers? 5 points

    For the side of producers they will probably die in this situation because volcanic
    eruptions contain ashfall and lava that will lead to stop their improving to growth
    and also the soil, water, air are contaminated.

    b) How does volcanic eruption affect consumers? 5 points

    For the side of consumers it would be hard to find food and difficult to survive
    because the producers are no longer useful to them causing of contaminated
    environment. They will probably go to another place to hunt food and look for
    new places to move where is safe and have resources and the effect of this is a
    hassle and difficult to survive.

    c) How does volcanic eruption affect the biotic factors (all the living things in
    general)? 5 points

    The impact of a volcanic eruption on the biotic factors is losing their own life
    because volcanic eruption has additional effects such as floods, magnitude,
    water contamination, wildfires, landslides, and other events. It will also affect their
    daily living from abundance to poverty because all their sources to live are lost.

    d) How does volcanic eruption affect the abiotic factors (our environment in
    general)? 5 points

    The impact of a volcanic eruption on the abiotic factors is changing the posture of
    our environment because many structures will destroy included our nature and it
    will cause global warming.

    2. For question number 2, please refer to the diagram below.


    a) In the diagram above, which one is the decomposer?
    Why are decomposers important in an ecosystem? 5 points

    The decomposer is the eagle which is the last consumer of the diagram.
    When the eagle dies fungi or other living organisms will enter the body
    and turn them into nutrients and the one that will benefit is our
    environment.

    b) Identify the primary consumers in the diagram above.


    What do they consume? 2.5 points

    The primary consumers in the diagram are worm, butterfly, rabbit, squirrel
    because they start to produce to gain nutrients.
    c) Identify the tertiary consumer in the diagram.
    What does this consumer eat? 2.5 points

    The Tertiary Consumer is an Eagle which is the animal that consumes


    secondary consumers through primary consumers and lastly through the
    producers.

    3. Search for the word “niche” or “ecological niche”. Define “niche” in your own
    words. 10 points.

    For my own understanding "niche" is a place where your status in life is


    maintained and where you can elevate and extend your own life skills. I will relate
    it to animals, plants, and living organisms that are accurate to our study because
    once they become comfortable with their surroundings and attain enough
    resources they will stay, and proclaimed that this is their habitat to live in.

    4. What happens when two or more organisms coexist in the same niche. What will
    happen if organisms share the same niche? 10 points

    When two organisms coexist in the same “niche” they probably would be
    competing with each other and the negative side effect is they can quarrel for
    resources and start harming each other. For the positive effect, they can protect
    each other from living organisms or other species that they will face in their lives.
