Answer:
Prevailing winds influence the precipitation by regulating amount of water vapor in air, direction of wind movement and by making cold and hot air masses to move.
Explanation:
Winds make both hot and cold air masses to move. The hot air rises up with wind and cold air rushes to take its place. The hot air coming from water bodies towards the land carry ample of water vapor and causes precipitation in the region. On the other hand, the air coming from land masses does not have enough water vapor to cause any rains in the region.
Answer: Many pathogenic fungi are parasitic in humans and are known to cause diseases of humans and other animals. In humans, parasitic fungi most commonly enter the body through a wound in the epidermis (skin). Such wounds may be insect punctures or accidentally inflicted scratches, cuts, or bruises. One example of a fungus that causes disease in humans is Claviceps purpurea, the cause of ergotism (also known as St. Anthony’s fire), a disease that was prevalent in northern Europe in the Middle Ages, particularly in regions of high rye-bread consumption. The wind carries the fungal spores of ergot to the flowers of the rye, where the spores germinate, infect and destroy the ovaries of the plant, and replace them with masses of microscopic threads cemented together into a hard fungal structure shaped like a rye kernel but considerably larger and darker. This structure, called an ergot, contains a number of poisonous organic compounds called alkaloids. A mature head of rye may carry several ergots in addition to noninfected kernels. When the grain is harvested, much of the ergot falls to the ground, but some remains on the plants and is mixed with the grain. Although modern grain-cleaning and milling methods have practically eliminated the disease, the contaminated flour may end up in bread and other food products if the ergot is not removed before milling. In addition, the ergot that falls to the ground may be consumed by cattle turned out to graze in rye fields after harvest. Cattle that consume enough ergot may suffer abortion of fetuses or death. In the spring, when the rye is in bloom, the ergot remaining on the ground produces tiny, black, mushroom-shaped bodies that expel large numbers of spores, thus starting a new series of infections.
Answer: Animals might lack food and water. If organisms cannot adapt to the changes in their ecosystem, they may move to another location. If they will not move, the species may become threatened, endangered or extinct. Changes to ecosystems can have tremendous effects on the organisms that live there.
