A. The movement of the Earth along its orbit
Explanation:
The moon orbits the Earth once every 27.3 days. This is the sidereal month. It is measured against the background stars.
However, the Earth is also orbiting the Sun, and the moon needs extra time to catch up to its previous position relative to the Sun. This is the synodic month. It takes 29.5 days.
B is wrong. The rotational speed of the Earth constant. It makes one revolution every 23 h 56 min 4.09053 s.
C is wrong. The synchronous rotation of the moon does not affect its orbital speed.
D is wrong. The tilt of the Earth's axis affects only the moon's angle in the sky.
What would happen? The ecosystem would remain stable because the red-tailed hawk would be replaced by increasing populations of elf owls as apex consumers. Food web is the network of different food chains operate in any ecosystem. A food chains consists of producer and different consumers. Apex predators (top carnivores) are top consumers. In a given image of food web of a desert ecosystem, red-tailed hawks are an apex consumer. If red-tailed hawks are removed from the given food web, the populations of elf owls will increase due to unavailable their predator and elf owls will become apex consumers and the ecosystem would remain stable.
If it is a true or false the its true
