Fragmenting one large park or preserve into many small parks with human habitation in between them is most likely to lead to which of the following?
a. reduction in species diversityb. stabilization of microclimatesc. decrease in the proportion of edge habitatd. increase in population size of carnivores

The correct answer is a. Reduction in species diversity

Explanation:

In habitat fragmentation, the large area of forest is divided into many smaller patches which reduce the area of habitat for species live there. This Fragmentation of habitat occurs mainly due to human activities like making highways and roads in the area.

This separates species member from each other which reduces the gene flow between that which can lead to inbreeding depression in a species and extinction of species can occur.  

Cutting trees and human activities can alter the environment negatively which can cause extinction of some species that reduce species diversity. So the correct answer is a.

the most common energy conversion is from kinetic energy to potential energy, and then from potential energy to kinetic energy.

later on comes the heat energy, mechanical energy, and other energy conversions.

this energy conversion is so common that we can find it in our day to day lives as well.

- one of the most common energy conversions involves the changing of potential energy to kinetic energy or kinetic energy to potential energy
