1 answer:
miss Akunina [59]3 years ago

Answer:

The convergence of tectonic plates, forming a mountain range.

Explanation:

On the diagram, we can see the Eurasian plate and Indian plate, as well as the movement of the Indian plate over time relative to the Eurasian plate. The Indian plate has been moving over the course of millions of years from the southern hemisphere toward the northern hemisphere and has eventually hit the Eurasian plate. The two plates have collided and formed a convergent plate boundary.

The convergence occurs between continental crusts. With the crust constantly creating an enormous amount of pressure along the plate boundary, the crust in this part has started to bend and lift up, gradually creating a mountain range. The mountain range that has formed here is actually the highest and most massive mountain range in the world, the Himalayas.

Non-Alaskan grizzly bears are indicator species for mountain ecosystems. In the nineteenth century, the grizzly bear nearly went
borishaifa [10]

Explanation:

Animal indicator list is a barometer to check how a particular ecosystem is affecting the lives of particular animals. The indicator measures  stress or behavior in the ecosystem to know whether to protect  the specie or allow them undisturbed

This is to avoid or reduce to barest minimum incidences of extinction of such specie in the ecosystem.

The grizzly sudden reduction in number from well over 100,000 in California to less than nothing in 1942 triggered  the need to protect the grizzlies from human destruction and possible extinction. Grizzlies was a national specie and appeared in the flag of California. The population gradually reduced in most of the states of Idaho, Utah, Alaska and many more.

The grizzlies in 1975 were declared protected species to avoid being hunted or trapped by humans and to repopulate them in the areas where they once lived. Their future will depend largely on humans ability to allow them to coexist with them, by setting out a large area for them to live and regroup.

This will go to balance the ecosystem which has been tampered or disturbed by development.
