A flood hit an area, destroying much of the surrounding ecosystem. One animal species survived the flood, but all of its competi

tors were eliminated. Despite the reduced competition and an abundance of other resources, there was no substantial growth recorded in the population of the surviving species. What are the plausible reasons for this lack of population growth?
changes in abiotic factors
new competition from nonnative animals displaced by the flood
a decrease in predators
an increase in available living space
lack of available mates after the flood

Answer:

Changes in abiotic factors, or Lack of available mates after the flood. If one answer had to be chosen, choose "lack of available mates"

Explanation:

New competition by displaced animals can not be an answer due to the possibility that there is little to no food left, and floods do not have the ability to displace animals. A decrease in predators would usually lead to a greater population, so this answer does not work. An increase in living space would also lead to an increase in population, so this answer is incorrect. A lack of available mates work as an answer because populations depend on genetic diversity and a large selection of mates in order to grow their population. Changes in abiotic factors can mean a lack of certain resources that could be shelter.

We know that oil floats on water and do not mix
<span>
What happens to the oil when you first pour it in? It flows into the water, but then seperates.

Why does this happen? oil is lighter than water and the molecules of the oil are attracted to the other oil molecules, not water, the water molecules the same

What kinds of animals would be most affected by an oil spill at the beginning? animals that live their lives near the surface of the ocean. Why? because now the water that was clear and free-flowing is now dark and sticky. oil also changes the way how some animals survive so make their ways less effective. one example are birds like pelicans

Use a spoon to stir the oil for 30 seconds.


Answer the following questions:
What natural action stirs the real ocean? ocean currents caused by wind and the earth's roation
What happened to the oil? went back to the top
Even if you can’t see it, is all the oil still in your ocean? yes
Which animals in the ocean become affected after wave and current action causes some of the oil to settle to the bottom, or be absorbed into the water?  bottom-feeders
Add a splash of dish detergent to the mixture and stir.


Answer the following questions:
What happened to the oil? it mixed with the water Is it all still in the ocean? yes
Sometimes cleanup efforts involve dumping a soap mixture over a spill area. Why is this done? to bond the oil to the detergent and the detergent to the water. so they can grab all the oil
What might be a negative effect of dumping the soap?</span> soap has chemicals that could upset the ballance of the ecosystem and kil some animals/plants
