If r-organisms reproduce at such a high rate, why don’t they usually reach their carrying capacity? If an r-population is moved
Ghella [55]
R-organisms are usually bellow carrying capacity (<span>the maximum size of some population that can survive in the given environment)</span>. Those organisms are small and produce a great number of offspring. However, their life expectancy is short and many individuals die within a short time. Because of the high rate of death, they do not live long enough to reach their carrying capacity. Their life span is short, so even if predators were removed from the population, it would not be expected they will reach their carrying capacity.

Tsunami waves flood coastal and inland areas and affect coastal life. Which of these properties of tsunami waves most contribute
Ede4ka [16]
I found the exercise on the internet and here are the options:
"<span>the low friction of waves at the shoreline
the high friction of waves at the shoreline
the high amplitude of the waves at origination
the long wavelength of the waves at origination"

The tsunami property that most contributes to the flooding is "the long wavelength of the waves at origination". The long wavelength that the tsunamis have at their origin makes so that when the wave reaches the shore, instead of a normal spreading, a much longer spreading takes place taking the ocean as far as the wavelength allows.</span>
