<h2>The correct answer is</h2>

D. It has a strong influence on the ecosystem.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Keystone species are organism that define an entire ecosystem. Without the presence of keystone species, the ecosystem would be totally different and it will cease to exist. If keystone species disappear from the ecosystem, no other species would be able to fill its ecological presence. Some keystone species are Sea Otter. Sea Stars and Large Mammalian Predators.

The correct answer is D.

A keystone specie refers to a plant or animal which play very important roles in the way a particular ecosystem functions. Without the keystone specie the ecosystem will be totally different or even cease to exist, thus keystone species have strong influence on the ecosystems in which they exist. Most of the time a keystone specie is a dominant predator whose removal allow a prey population to increase dramatically in size and thus reduce the overall diversity in that particular ecosystem.

Convection : Warm air rises and cold air sinks, you have a cycle there :D
You can experience it on the beach shore. Since water has a high heat capacity ( it takes longer to heat up ) and the sand get hot quickly, the air on the shore gets warm and rises. When the air reaches to certain elevation (or meet the temperature of the beach), it gets cooler and sinks, cold air from the beach blown to the shore.

In the example of the finches on the Galapagos, what is the cause of the geographic isolation?

Firlakuza [10]

<span>The Galapagos Islands are geographically isolated due to the Ocean that surrounds the islands themselves. The finches can't fly far enough to make it past the vast ocean to other mainland so they are stuck on the island and must adapt to what the island provides for food in varying areas.</span>
