We know that inside the Earth's crust there are two more layers, i.e., mantle and crust. In mantle, there are many molten rocks, they are in liquid like form. When this moves or <em>flow </em>then the continental plates move too.

If there was a volcano eruption on the mainland that wiped out a large number of mainland species, what consequence would this h
Veronika [31]

After one island has experienced mass extinction of its mainland species, the chances are that the closer and more distant islands will have no consequences when it comes to their equilibrium.

Explanation:

If an island experiences devastating volcanic eruption, and the majority of its mainland species are destroyed, the island will have huge consequences when it comes to its equilibrium number of species. The reason for this is that the equilibrium number of species represents the optimal number of species, or rather the number of species that is capable on surviving on the available resources, not more, not less. With the majority of the mainland species gone, the island will have significantly less species than the equilibrium number of species, so it will take some time in order that number to be achieved.

Because it is an island we are talking about, and mainland species in question, the nearby and more distant islands will not have any consequences on their equilibrium number of species. This is because the species on those islands will not be affected, as they don't have any direct connection with the mainland species of the island in question. Also, the mainland species from the other islands will not be able to migrate in mass numbers toward the island that experienced disaster, but only accidentally and under particular conditions, but still in very small numbers, thus maintain the balance.

human activities impact negatively on the quality of water and the flow pattern in the upper reaches of the blood river in limpo
harina [27]

Human activities such as mining, pollution, minerals processing, landfills, etc have an effect on the flow pattern.

<h3>Effect of pollution</h3>

It should be noted that pollution is usually difficult to control because it is often the result of human infrastructure around a river.

For example, sewage and effluent are discharged into rivers in some areas and this can lower the pH of the water, and hence affect the organisms.

Also, human activities such as mining, pollution, minerals processing, landfills, impact negatively on the quality of water and the flow pattern in the upper reaches of the blood river in Limpopo.
