The Nile River affected settlement distribution in ancient Egypt because individuals largely settled along the banks of the river and in the fertile regions in the delta and along the river. Because the territory in this region is largely desert the peoples of ancient Egypt largely settled in areas near to the water source which was the source of life.
This question is not complete; here is the complete question:
A one-hectare pond is sampled in early September. The sample yields 1 small catfish as well as 17 benthic invertebrates that represent 10 species.
If the pond is resampled a year later, which of the following would best indicate that the pond had been adversely affected by adjacent development?
A. An uncommon species has become more numerous
B. An increase in low-tolerance species has occurred
C. A decrease in high-tolerance species has occurred
D. Phylogenetic diversity has occurred
E. The biodiversity of the pond has decreased
The answer to this question is E. The biodiversity of the pond has decreased
Explanation:
In ecology, an ecosystem can be affected by adjacent developments including human developments or even other ecosystems and this can lead to positive or negative consequences.
In this context, one example that shows the was an adverse effect is "The biodiversity of the pond has decreased" because the reduction in diversity represents a major thread for an ecosystem as this makes species more vulnerable to disappear. Also, this can be caused by factors such as pollution caused by human development or major predator of the adjacent ecosystem feeding on organisms in the main ecosystem. Besides this, in the first sample, there were multiple species and a reduction in the second sample shows the ecosystem was weakened.
Things like food, availability of mates,disease and predators.abiotic or physical limiting factors are non living things such as temperature wind climate sunlight rainfall soil composition natural disasters and pollution
Self esteem is accepting yourself and self loving yourself. in other words not putting too much stake onto others expectations and thoughts. accepting who you are and your appearance. hope I helped!
The sociological perspective is a perspective on human behavior and its connection to society as a whole. It invites us to look for the connections between the behavior of individual people and the structures of the society in which they live. Typically, we tend to think of our society as just natural.
