When you look at a map of the world, it probably has lines on it. The ones that go up and down is latitude, like a ladder. The other ones are long and are called longitude.

'Latitude' is an angle.

The latitude of a point on the Earth's surface is
the angle between the equator and that point.

Since the equator is located around the Earth's "middle",
latitude can be an angle either going north or going south
from the equator.

Latitude is never more than 90 degrees:

-- 90 degrees north from the equator is the north pole,
and you can't get any norther than that.

-- 90 degrees south from the equator is the south pole,
and you can't get any souther than that.

An increase in rainfall brings more plant resources to a population of lizards, but it also brings more predators. These changes

wel

Answer:

The per capita birth rate of the population will increase.

Explanation:

Fecundity refers to the ability of an organism in order to produce more number of offsprings. This leads to the increase in the number of population of lizards which is facilitated due to the increasing rainfall. In addition to this, the high abundance of rainfall also allows the number of predators to increase as a result of which it becomes difficult for them to survive.

From the above condition, it can be generalized that the population of lizard will increase at a much higher rate.
