Question

The histogram shows the worldwide population densities of killer whales, or orcas, distributed by latitude. According to the graph, how does the population density of killer whales vary around the globe?
Large groups of killer whales prefer living at the poles rather than the lower latitudes.
Most killer whales congregate in the areas that are near the Arctic/Antarctic Circles.
The highest concentration of killer whales is between the equator and the tropics.
The lowest concentration of killer whales can be found between 40–50 degrees of latitude.

Answer 1

The correct answer is - Most killer whales congregate in the areas that are near the Arctic/Antarctic Circles.

The killer whales have a very large distribution, and they can be found in all oceans, apart from the Southern Ocean. It is noted though that the population density of the killer whales differs from place to place. The higher concentrations are found around the Arctic and Antarctic Circles, where there's cool rich waters, while in the lower latitudes they are much rarer. The reason for this probably lies in the fact that most of the animals that are considered to be the prime food source of the killer whales are living in this rich cold waters.
