In a forest, gazelles were the main source of food for cheetahs. The gazelles depended on grasses and shrubs for their food. A m

ysterious disease quickly spread among the cheetahs, killing many of them. What impact would the decline of the cheetah population have on resource availability?
Because the number of cheetahs declined, the population of gazelles will most likely ____________. This situation, in turn, will lead to increased __________ between the gazelles and other herbivorous animals that eat the same food as gazelles.

Due to natural selection , if the predator of the gazelle declines, then the prey the gazelles will increase since there isn't many cheetahs killing them anymore.
the second should be competition, since there will be more gazelles needing to eat.

<u>Answer</u>: first blank - increase

second blank - competition

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • As the population of cheetahs decrease due to the disease the population of gazelles would increase. This is because the cheetahs feed on gazelles, now when the population of cheetahs decline the predation of gazelles would decrease and hence, they will <em>increase</em> in number.
  • Now, that the population of gazelles is increasing and they feed on grasses and shrubs for food , they will compete with other herbivores as they will also depend on the same shrubs and grasses. So the <em>competition</em> between the gazelles and herbivores <em>increases</em>.

Which statement correctly describes how oceans in this area provide ideal conditions for rainfall?
harkovskaia [24]

Answer: A) Ocean water evaporates and the warm, moist air rises higher into the atmosphere.

Explanation:

The Equator receives the most direct sunlight on Earth. This makes the water near the Equator, and air above the water, typically warmer than surrounding areas. This warm, moist, less-dense air rises, and then cools as it travels through denser, colder layers. This constant cycle of evaporation and condensation creates an abundance of rain.

So, oceans near the Equator provide ideal conditions for rainfall because ocean water evaporates and the warm, moist air rises higher into the atmosphere.
