The number of predators and preys change from time to time following
cycles. Whenever there is fewer prey, predators start dying because they
have not enough to eat; however, that provokes the population of prey
to be increased while there are fewer predators. So if suddenly the
number of prey gets bigger, regardless of the number of predators, the
cycles get disturbed by this sudden occurrence. The predators will get
more to hunt, therefore getting more violent.
Answer:
The African Plate rotates counterclockwise while the Arabian Plate moves roughly northward. As they move apart, faults form in the graben and pieces of crust sink into the mantle. About 3 million years ago, water filled the graben, forming the Dead Sea, which was then part of a long bay of the Mediterranean Sea.
Explanation:
The two main sources that lead to increased genetic variation are gamete mutations and recombination.
A gamete is the cell which combines with another cell during fertilization. So, its mutation can lead to variation in genes. Recombination as well, as the position of genes is changed.
