The answer is C: flooding. Ice jams and snowmelt can help cause flash floods. A deep snowpack increases runoff produced by melting snow. Heavy spring rains falling on melting snowpack can produce disastrous flash flooding. Melting snowpack may also contribute to flash floods produced by ice jams on creeks and rivers. Thick layers of ice often form on streams and rivers during the winter. Melting snow and/or warm rain running into the streams may lift and break this ice, allowing large chunks of ice to jam against bridges or other structures. This causes the water to rapidly rise behind the ice jam. If the water is suddenly released, serious flash flooding could occur downstream. Huge chunks of ice can be pushed onto the shore and through houses and buildings.
Otters are from keystone species from the subfamily of Lutrinae. Lutrinae is a branch of Weasel. The actions of the humans that can ensure that the sea otter will continue their function in the environment would be to establish in the Atlantic ocean a sea otter wildlife refuge and also pass laws to regulate the hunting of such species.
the surrounding ecosystem is nearly or completely destroyed this changes the physical and biological components of the system by killing any biological life and reshaping all structures with magma. this will affect the population by killing anything living haunting life for centuries until new life can start to form such as lichens to break down the hardened rocks nutrients into soil for life
D. Discovered chemolithotrophs in natural enviroments.
Explanation:
Sergei Winogradsky was a russian microbiologist. He observed in his research with genus of bacteria <em>Beggiatoa, </em>they were able to oxidize hydrogen sulfide as an energy source. Being the first example known of lithotrophs (organisms that use inorganic substrate in order to obtain energy).
