Answer:

8 min 20 seconds

Explanation:

Radiation from the sun travels as light through the vacuum of space. Therefore, it is travelling at the speed of light which is roughly 300,000 km/s. If we divide this speed by the average distance between the Sun and the Earth (150,000,000 km) we would get a total of 500 seconds. We can now turn this total time into minutes which would be roughly 8 min and 20 seconds. Therefore, it would take a total of 8 min 20 seconds for radiation from the Sun to reach Earth.

AysviL [449]

Answer:

The correct option is D, that is, THEIR FUNDAMENTAL NICHE HAS BEEN COMPROMISED.

Explanation:

From the information given in the question, we are told that the expanses of the Great Plains, which was once occupied by the prairie dogs have been reduced in size due to increased housing and agricultural developments. This implies that, the habitat, which is natural to the prairie dogs has been reduced in size, in another word, their fundamental niche has been compromised.
