<span>They are both important. Latitude, the lines that parallel the equator are very important in determining plant growth rates and which plants can even exist because latitude is strongly related to average temperature. Altitude acts like latitude only over a shorter scale, so an increase in altitude of 1,000 ft may act like a latitude change of 3-4 degrees pole-ward. Longitude, that series of lines, perpendicular to the equator is also important, and is more related to water supply in the form of precipitation, so it would surely influence the kind of plants present - like desert plants versus rain forest types. Environments that are warm and with more rainfall generally will support more plant growth than those that are cold with little rainfall.</span>

Boreal owls range over a much larger area than do other owls of similar size. The reason for this behavior is probably that the

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

(B) Boreal owls range over larger areas in regions where food of the sort eaten by small mammals is sparse than they do in regions where such food is abundant

Explanation:

Living beings exhibit various changes in the behavior and niche to make themselves better fitted to the conditions of their habitats.

Boreal owls feed on the other smaller mammals such as mice and shrews. These organisms that serve as their prey are relatively less abundant in the habitat. To ensure the food availability, the boreal owls occupy a larger area so that they can catch their less abundant food organisms.

In the habitats where the prey species of boreal owls are present in a larger number, these owls occupy smaller regions since the food organisms are easily available.
