The following statement is false: MOST US STATES PROHIBIT THE IMPORTATION OF ANIMAL SPECIES LIKELY TO BECOME INVASIVE IF THEY ESCAPE INTO THE WILD.
Presently, most US states do not have any law, which prohibit people from bringing into the US animal species that are likely to become invasive.
Invasive plant and animals are a great source of problems in America. These species usually destroy habitats and native species, this usually throw the ecological communities out of balance. The government spend as much as $120 billions every year to control these invasive species.
Exceptions to a and b are when volcano forms at hot spots in the middle of Continental plates or oceanic plates.
The shoreline is one of the harshest and most changeable environments for living creatures. The changing tides shift the environment dramatically within a sub-daily cycle. Here, we can consider two typical shoreline organisms, and the changing environment they must endure. Within the rocky shore environment, an octopus would be within the shallow but open sea environment during high tide, and water temperature and salinity conditions would be fairly constant. During low tide, the octopus might become trapped in a rock pool. This environment is dramatically different. The water temperature and salinity might increase drastically with exposure to solar radiation. The octopus is also more vulnerable to predation by humans and other land animals. Within the sandy shore environment, sand clams would be actively positioned at the interface of the sand and water, and will be actively filtering sea water for detritus. During low tide, the sand would be exposed to the air, and the clams would burrow down into the sand so as to avoid dessication.
