Atlantic halibut is a species of flatfish that uses gills to extract dissolved gases from water for cellular respiration. during a storm, a population of halibut is carried down into a deeper layer of the ocean. predict whether this population would most likely thrive or die, and select the best explanation.

D. It would die, because there are lower oxygen levels in deep zones of the ocean.

The deeper the ocean, the less gas exchange there is.

1.8 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale on the map is 1 : 15000.

This means that every 1 cm on the map is equal to 15000 cm on the ground.

12 cm on the map will therefore be:

12 * 15000 = 180000 cm

Let us convert to kilometres:

100000 cm = 1 km

180000 cm = 180000 / 100000 = 1.8 km

12 cm on the map will be 1.8 km on the ground.
