Fishing tuna at a rate of more than they can replace themselves is known as?
Habitat destruction
unsustainable
trophic cascade
overharvesting
The greater a habitat's biodiversity, the greater will be that habitat's
resilience over varying conditions
sources of energy
rate of endangered species
lack of different types of organisms
Biodiversity contributes to habitat sustainability because
Changing conditions that harm one species leave other species to survive and perhaps even thrive.
The greater the number of species, the more competition there is for food between predators, which sustains their populations
The more plants and animals in a habitat, the greater the links in food webs allowing for more stable system
It will be more prone to disturbances
Which of the following is NOT a way in which humans are destroying habitats?
Clearing out prairies to grow a single crop
Gathering rain water to use to water crops
Building a shopping mall with a large parking lo
Cutting trees for toilet paper
Which of the following is NOT a cause for the current decline in the biodiversity of our ecosystem?
overexploitation of resources
increasing human populations
pollution of water sources
regenerating forests
A possible way to prevent species from becoming endangered is?
increased use of fossil fuels
more habitat converted to farms
designating more areas as wildlife preserves
increased urban expansion
In the forest spotted owl make their home in the cavities of dead trees. The same habitat is home to rodents that owls feed on. Logging by humans have caused the population of owls to decline. What statement BEST explains the relationship between humans and the spotted owl.
Humans have taken away resources needed by owls, so there are fewer owls
humans have taken away resources needed by owls, so there are fewer owls
Humans moved the owls to the zoo, so there are less owls in the woods.
Humans eliminated predators of the owls, so the owls increased.
It is estimated that half of the 10 million species of organisms on the planet live in the tropical rain forests. Deforestation of the rainforest causes the extinction of as many as 50,000 species per year. Clearing tropical rain forests causes the extinction of many species because
plants and animals are exposed to high levels of carbon dioxide.
many unique habitats and ecosystems are being completely destroyed.
destruction of the rainforest contributes to the depletion of the ozone.
pollution caused by humans increases the greenhouse effect.
