Answer: C. Radical global climate change.

Explanation:

The entire taxa of the species can be wiped out due to an large catastrophic event associated with the change in the climate. As the climate becomes warm the chances of undergoing the global precipitation rate will change. The climate being an important abiotic factor under unstability is likely to affect the amount of rainfall, snow fall, drought and conditions of desertification. All these factors can be responsible for the removal of the entire taxa of the species in short time.

one reason that electric power plants do not send out electrical energy as a direct current is that direct current can not be tr
777dan777 [17]

This is because direct power has no pulsation (waveform characteristic) that is significant in electromagnetic induction. The gradual increase and decrease of power, at a given frequency, in indirect power is significant in electromagnetic induction. This enables transformers to induce electricity into the secondary coil, from the primary coil, at the core of the transformer.Transformers transform electric power by increasing or decreasing the voltage and current of electricity.

Give an example of how migration affects population size?
il63 [147K]
Well, depending on how long the migration is, many of the animals (mainly birds) could get sick and die, lowering the population. They could be shot by hunters, lowering the population. The children of the population could get left behind and lose their way, lowering the population. I'm not entirely sure how the population could grow other than them finding and staying with another group of their own kind. hope I was helpful! :)
