Options for the question have not been provided. They are as follows:
A) The single intact parcel would have a smaller amount of edge than the 20 separate parcels.
B) The isolated hectare plots increase the ability of individuals to disperse from one habitat to another.
C) The separate 1-hectare plots are less vulnerable to edge effects.
D) The large plot will create more inbreeding in many species.
Answer:
A) The single intact parcel would have a smaller amount of edge than the 20 separate parcels.
Explanation:
In the given case, 20 hectares of land has been allocated to natural habitat. This means that natural flora and fauna will flourish here without any human interference. In this situation it is better to have an intact 20 hectares area at one side of the land, rather than having 20 separately spread out 1 hectare areas. This is because having one large piece of land at one side will reduce the edge effect.
Edges occur where two different habitats meet. While edges can be beneficial when it comes to natural habitats because the boundary habitat increases overall biodiversity, it can be detrimental when the edges are due to human settlements. It will be difficult to avoid human interference as the natural habitats are scattered among human settlements. Each individual plot will also get less area due to which it will be difficult for all the species to accommodate comfortably. Many animals can venture out in search of food which can be dangerous to both animals and humans. It is better to have a big separate land at one corner so that everyone can survive peacefully.
Ok ok no fret im here to help as best as i can :)
Weathering is a process that breaks down or changes rocks into smaller
pieces. Various atmospheric aspects are responsible for weathering
processes. Weathering is different from erosion. Erosion is the movement
of rock pieces and sediment from one area to another. Weathering is the
breaking down of rocks and erosion is a wearing away of rocks. There
are two main types of weathering: physical (or mechanical) weathering
and chemical weathering. Quite often, both forms of weathering will
occur together
Physical weathering is also known as mechanical weathering. This type of
weathering occurs when rocks and other landforms are broken down by
physical factors in the environment. These physical factors include
wind, water, sun, ice and temperature changes

In my opinion I mat be wrong but the gulls population would go down
Explanation:
The environmental noise and sound signals are associated with an increased incidence of arterial hypertensiont,heart failure and stroke
