Answer: True
Explanation: the theory of the island biogeography equilibrium modem describes that species have to get to a certain island from somewhere else which is the immigration part and other species have to migrate from the island as they run out of resources which is the extinction part. This theory shows that as the number of immigration increases and a new place is colonized the rate of extinction of species increases because there is more competition and limited resources for these species and vice versa.
Answer: The correct answer is option D. The Uranian rotation axis produces some extreme seasonal effects.
Explanation:
Uranus is the only planet in our solar system whose equator is nearly at a right angle to its path of movement (orbit) with a tilt of 97.77°.
Uranus lies almost sideways with respect to the plane of its orbit of movement.
It has four seasons like earth, the tilt gives the planet its seasons.

Answer: Water pollution can have disastrous effects on the environment.
Explanation:
- Pollution in the water can reach a point where there isn't enough oxygen in the water for the fish to breathe. The fish can suffocate and not have enough air.
- Pollution affects the entire food chain. Small fishes absorb pollutants, such as chemicals, into their bodies. Bigger fishes eat the smaller fishes and get the pollutants as well. Birds or other animals may eat the bigger fishes and be harmed by the pollutants. One example of this was the use of the insecticide (bug killer) DDT, which is when birds of prey ate fishes that were infected with it, they would lay eggs with thin shells. The population of birds of prey began to drop until DDT was banished.
- Sewage causes major problems in rivers. Bacteria in the water will use oxygen to break down the sewage. If there is too much sewage, the bacteria could use up oxygen until there won't be enough left for the fish.
- Water pollution from major events like acid rain or oil spills can completely destroy marine habitats.
- One of the most important commodities for life on planet Earth is clean water. For over 1 billion people on the planet, clean water is nearly impossible to get. Dirty, polluted water can make them sick enough to die.
