Plants are at the base of the food chain, providing food for herbivores, who are then preyed upon by carnivores. If plants were to die out, herbivores would lack a food source, leading to their extinction, which would in turn impact carnivores. The interconnectedness of ecosystems means that the loss of plants would have cascading effects on all levels of the food chain, eventually leading to the decline of most animal species.

What do scientists believe explains the increased density of material deeper into the mantle?
Scientists believe that the increased density of material deeper into the mantle is primarily due to the increase in pressure as you go deeper into the Earth's interior. The weight of the overlying rock layers compresses the material below, causing it to become more tightly packed and denser. Additionally, changes in mineral composition and temperature can also contribute to the increased density.
