Question

From 2006 through 2010, all of the elf died due to predation and zero died from starvation. Use the data from the graph yo explain why fewer elk died from starvation.

Answer 1

Answer:

If the majority of elk died from predation, the elk population decreased and the amount of food available became greater.

Explanation:

In the question above, we learned that between 2006 and 2010, all elks in a given region died due to predation and no elk died of hunger.

To understand this question, we must reason that if a large population of elk causes the resources available for the survival of that population to be limited. Food is one of those resources, so if the elk population is large, the food is very limited, which can cause some members of the population to starve.

However, if elk predators are managing to catch a lot of prey, it means that the elk population will decrease, consequently the resources available to elk survival will increase, allowing them to have plenty of food and not starve.

Answer 2

The answer is because due to more elk died from predation so the elk who are still alive have a more vast food supply
