Global warming impacts terrestrial biomes since it brings about <span>decreased precipitation and longer winter seasons. Global warming refers to the increase in temperature of the Earth's atmosphere. This is brought about by release of greenhouse gases (e.g. carbon dioxide, methane) in the air which trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere. As a result, there is increased variability of weather and climate patterns. </span>
<span>Submerged basaltic volcanoes that are higher than 1 km
are called seamounts, letter D. They are underwater mountain formed by volcanic
activity. They do not reach the sea level and is not considered an island. </span>
<span>Among the choices given, an example of the divergent boundary is letter C. Oceanic-continental. When we speak of divergent boundary, we also refer to the constructive or extensional boundary. This is a feature which is linear in nature and exist between two tectonic plates that tend to move away from each other. </span>
I think the correct answer to this is ‘reduced prey
quality’.
<span>This is because in the study made by Trites and Donnelly,
they found out that steller sea lions were experiencing nutritional stress.
Nutritional stress means that although the prey contains all the necessary
nutrients, the quantity of prey is not enough due to a reduction in overall
biomass of prey locally. </span>
