Elephants shape their environment in many ways. they can change a forest to a grassy field or dig a hole that might become a pond. they clear large amounts of vegetation, which removes habitats for some organisms but makes the area inviting for other organisms. which best describes possible interactions of elephants with the surrounding ecosystem? positive negative neither positive nor negative both positive and negative

both positive and negative

Explanation:

The elephants are the largest land animals in the present. They are very big and powerful animals, and on top of that they live in herds, making them an even more formidable force. They manage to change the environment in which they live in numerous ways, some of which are positive, some are negative, depending on the perspective though. The elephants manage to destroy the forests by knocking the trees down. While destroying the forests is a negative, it is a positive when it comes to the grasses, as space opens up for them to fill in. With the destruction of the forests, the elephants manage to live some species without their habitat which is a negative, but on the other side they open up space for species that live in more open space, which is a positive.

explanation:

plate tectonics and volcanic euptions

over time, plate tectonic processes cause continents to move to different positions on the globe.

for example, britain was near to the equator 300 million years ago, and therefore was hotter than it is today. for further details look at our climate through time poster or online map.

the movement of the plates also causes volcanoes and mountains to form and these too can contribute to a change in climate.

mountain ranges formed by plate tectonics. large mountain chains can influence the circulation of air around the globe, and consequently influence the climate.   warm air might be deflected somewhere cooler by the mountains.
