Explain what might happen to the fox and the hawk populations if a disease dramatically reduced the mouse population.

Nature survives on a thin equilibrium between the species that hunt and those that are hunted.

When one of these increases or decreases drastically, the other is also affected.

In this case, both hawk and fox hunt mouses. If there's no mouses both hawk and the fox will starve to death.

when atoms of different types of elements join together, they make molecules called compounds. water consists of compound molecules made up of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. this is why it's called h2o. water will always have 2 times the number of hydrogen atoms as oxygen atoms.
