Answer:

125

Explanation:

The correct option would be 125.

<em>The carrying capacity of a particular environment generally refers to the maximum number of individuals of a particular species that the environment can support at a particular time based on the resources it has. Hence, the maximum population of a species will normally oscillate around the carrying capacity of the environment where it is found. </em>

In the case of the elephants in the illustration, the maximum population recorded was 125. The population decreased from this value at some point only to increased back to it later.

<u>Hence, the carrying capacity for the elephant is 125.</u>

Which of the following will NOT cause mass extinction?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

D. None of the above

Explanation:

<u>Reason that Drastic Change in weather may cause mass extinction</u>

Weather plays an important role in the survivability & the growth/diminish of the population. For example, animals that need large amounts/bodies of water (for example fishes), will not survive when the area is hit with a heat wave & drought, which would cause fishes to surface, and die.

<u>Reason that Geological change would play a large role in mass extinctions</u>

While the Geography is constantly changing, large abrupt changes would cause a upheaval and may upset the population, leading to a depletion of resources or even a sudden destruction of part/all of the population. For example, an earthquake may kill large amounts of animals, and the destruction of the greenery in the area may severely limit the amount of food/decrease the primary consumer's populations, leading to a starvation.
