What happens to predator populations when prey populations are scarce? Why?

Biology

GenaCL600 [577]2 years ago
5 0
When prey is abundant, predator populations increase because more young are able to survive. More predators kill more prey, which, along with food scarcity, decreases the population. When prey becomes more scarce, the predator population declines until prey is again more abundant. Therefore, the two balance each other.

Why factors are cause of short-term climate change
laiz [17]

Answer:

6 factors that cause short term climate change...

Explanation:

Latitude - depends on how far or close to the equator it is

Ocean currents - Certain ocean currents have different temperatures.

Wind and air masses. Heated ground causes air to rise which results in lower air pressure. As it rises it cools and descends to the ground resulting in high air pressure.

Elevation. The higher up you are, the colder and drier it will be. When air rises it expands due to low air pressure which causes it to cool.

Relief. The differences in the elevation inland. As air is forced to rise over a piece of land, the temperature decreases and condensation increases.

Nearness to water. The water heats up and cools down slower than land does, having a moderating effect. On colder days, the water heats up the land, whereas on hotter days, the land is cooled down by the water.
