What are three possible long-term consequences of two species occupying the same niche?

Biology

Answer:

  • one will become extinct
  • one/both will adapt
  • one will migrate to a new location

Explanation:

An ecological niche is the role species has in its environment. This includes how it survives, reproduces, finds shelter, and obtains good. It includes all its interactions with both biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) factors.

When species occupy the same niche, it means they are competing for the same resources. This is not sustainable. Eventually, one of three things are likely to happen:

  • one species will die out (become extinct) because they are being outcompeted by the more successful species, and will struggle to survive without adequate food and shelter
  • either one or both species will have to adapt to occupy another similar niche by, for example, exploiting a new food source in the area.
  • either one or both species will have to migrate to a new area to occupy a different geographical area and new resources.

The species that is being excluded from the niche can either adapt in the long term to occupy another similar niche, migrate to a new area, or it can die out.

the outer planets are mostly formed of lighter elements because these three condense are a ____ temperature
Stolb23 [73]

The outer planets are mostly formed of lighter elements because these three condense are a<u> lower temperature</u>.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The planets based on the location of the sun is divided into two, that is outer planets and inner planets.

The Outer planet which is far from the sun consists of larger quantity of lighter substances such helium, hydrogen, methane which would condense at the lower temperature. And remains gaseous inside the frost line that would exit far away for the sun so the temperature is low and the lighter materials are easier to condense in lower temperature to form terrestrial  rocks.

How does an animals physiology dictate its diet?
stepan [7]
An animal's physiology can indicate it's diet based on what the animal's body can handle processing. For example, animal's with strong bones and teeth can break down food that is tough to eat, this helps obtain energy alot quicker. For instance, giraffes have long and slender necks that are perfect for reaching up to trees. The giraffe's diet would consist of vegetation located in high levels.

Aleks [24]
I believe the correct answer is true. Veins are often formed from hot water solutions. Hydrothermal deposits are a very common method of filling already existing fractures and occurs at varying depths. T<span>here are lots of veins formed by hot water that cause fractures or work their way up into non fractured rock. </span>
