Burrowing owls use the tunnels dug by prairie dogs for shelter. If the number of prairie dogs and their tunnels decrease, what i
s most likely to happen to the population of burrowing owls in the same area? A. It will increase slightly.
B. It will decrease somewhat.
C. It will decrease to zero.
D. It will remain the same
Since Prairie dogs provide both shelter and increased prey abundance,
when prairie dogs and their habitat decline, it causes a decline in
burrowing owl numbers. If fewer prairie dogs remain to
create and maintain these unique patches of habitat, the burrowing owl somewhat
declines and becomes endangered with time.
As the air over the earth surface gets warmed due to the solar radiation coming from the sun which directly heats the upper atmosphere of the earth and thus the air gets heated up and rest light or energy is absorbed by the ground and reflected into the atmosphere.
Similarly, the altitude has a major role to play in this process as the place near the tropics and equator air is less dense and hence higher absorption as compared to the higher latitudes the air becomes denser and hence lear absorption takes place.
Also with regards to the atmospheric cloud patterns the earth temperatures changes as these bring winds and rainfall and these cool the temperature over the hotter places like air moves from high pressure to low pressure and visa Versa.
