Answer: D. The farther an island is from the mainland, the fewer the number of species found on the island.

Explanation: Island biogeography estimates the species richness on a new island using environmental factors. Species richness of an island is the number of different species inhabiting an island.

Islands that are far from mainlands have fewer species because the mainland is a source of new species which migrate to the islands to colonize them. Another factor that decides the number of species inhabiting an island is the island size.

How have the nations systems of mountains and waterways influenced the development of the united states
Andreyy89

The waterways and mountains of the United States, much like the rest of the world, have had a significant impact on where people settled and how towns and cities interacted with one another. Large mountain ranges served as natural barriers between groups, causing distinct regional shared cultures to develop due to the relative isolation and shared geography that mountain ranges create. The opposite is true for rivers, which connected communities through ease of travel, trade, and shared access to water and other natural resources.

Explanation:

Humans and wild animals face new challenges for survival because of climate change.

Increased heat, drought and insect outbreaks, all linked to climate change, have increased wildfires. Declining water supplies, reduced agricultural yields, health impacts in cities due to heat, and flooding and erosion in coastal livelihoods and communities.
