Answer:

The correct answer is "density-dependent factor"

Explanation:

Density-dependent factors are effects which impact varies depending on the size of the affected population. In this case, the outbreak of typhoid fever in Ithaca affected 1,000 residents because all of them share the public water source. This was a density-dependent factor because if the population of Ithaca were greater, probably all of them would not share the public water source and the impact of the outbreak would be not as large as it was.

Answer : Option B) Density -  dependent factor.

Explanation : Typhoid outbreak is dependent of the density as the people of the region are getting the water from the same source so, the density of the area is also an influencing factor in spreading the disease. The bacteria is also getting transmitted from one human to other human too.

<em>b. wildfires</em>

<em>b. magnified the greenhouse effect</em>


The first blank is pretty simple; if lightning (electricity) strikes something flammable, like a forest, a fire is sure to ensue. This fire will obviously spread to the other trees and cause a massive wildfire.

The second blank is the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is said to have caused our warming climate, which makes sense because heat from the sun gets trapped in our global "greenhouse", or the lower atmosphere. Lower atmosphere is key here because a large event like a massive wildfire can add some more heat to the atmosphere and contribute to this effect. A wildfire may seem like a minor event on a global scale, but it will do more damage to the atmosphere than you think!
