The graph below shows the population growth in an area.

which of these could cause this population to stop increasing and stabilize?

a. increasing ratio of space to individuals in the population

b. decreasing ratio of predators to prey in the population

c. increasing ratio of offspring to parents in the population

d. decreasing ratio of food to individuals in the population

d. decreasing ratio of food to individuals in the population

Explanation:

The graph represents the logistic population growth which slows down upon the arrival of carrying capacity. Carrying capacity is the maximum population size that can be supported by a habitat according to availability of resources. Once the population size reaches carrying capacity, food and other resources become limited and do not support any further growth of population.

succession returns a disturbed

ecosystem to a more stable state. this is also classified into two (2) types:

primary succession and secondary succession. the primary succession arises when

a new land is transformed and a bare rock has been exposed providing an environment

that can be occupied for the first time. while, secondary succession occurs

when a previously occupied environment was disturbed that kills much of all its

community

explanation:

answer:

convection currents in the magma drive plate tectonics. heat generated from the radioactive decay of elements deep in the interior of the earth creates magma (molten rock) in the aesthenosphere. the aesthenosphere (70 ~ 250 km) is part of the mantle, the middle sphere of the earth that extends to 2900 km.
