Question

A Density Dependent Limiting Factor is a limiting factor of a population where a large, dense population is more strongly affected than one that is small and less crowded. What is a density-dependent limiting factor that can affect the human population growth of North Carolina?
A) hurricanes B) temperature C) earthquakes D) water supply

Answer 1

The answer should be: D) water supply

Water is a perishable resource and its supply will limit how much population that an area could hold. With a bigger population, the competition for water will be higher which make water shortage more likely. Others density-dependent limiting factor than competition would be disease, parasitism, and predation.

Answer 2

The answer is ( Water Supply ).
