Answer:

The correct answer would be B an increase in predation.

Predation is one of the many biological interactions in which one organism is benefited and other is harmed. In this interaction, one organism kills the other one to get nutrition out of it.

The one who kills is known as predator and the one who is killed is known as prey.

In nature, mice serves as a prey for many organisms such as snake, owl, hawk, cat, dog etc. Hence, there are concrete chances of increased predation of mice in an area.

Other reasons for the decrease in a population of any organism in nature can be: increased competition, habitat destruction, mutation, new disease or fast rate of transmission of disease etc.

If a population of mice occupies a tree stump in a forest and the number of mice has decreased, it is likely due to an increase in predation. The answer is letter B. When a mouse is in the forest, it will be part of the ecosystem there. When it looks for food, they can also become food for other animals.

Why does moss grow better in the shade?
musickatia [10]

Moss isn't fussy as to conditions. It needs shade--the more the better--moisture, acid and rather poor soil; exactly the opposite, in most ways, from grass. You can try transplanting moss from the woods, but the best way to acquire species that will enjoy your site is to make sure the soil is acidic, water it a bit in dry spells and wait to see what turns up. One exception is lawn moss. This is often a more sun-tolerant species and you can usually get quite a bit just by raking it out of a lawn. Try it as a mulch around flowers or shrubs.

Granite is a common type of rock found in Yosemite National Park. Limestone is a common type of rock found in Kentucky.
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

You should visit Kentucky.

Explanation:

Limestone is a sedimentary rock formed from the calcareous remains of dead creatures. Limestone is mostly made of shells and other remains of organisms that have collected over time. These are good conditions for fossilization. Granite, however, is an igneous rock formed from solidification of magma in the Earth's crust. High temperatures and extreme conditions make fossilization unlikely.
