Question

what term describes the loss of areas necessary for species to survive?
a. albedo effect
b. ecosystem stability
c. habitat loss
d. ice formation

what does ocean circulation help regulate?
a. mountain ranges
b. landforms
c. soil types
d. global climate

Explanation:

First Question:

• Option a: Albedo effect is about surface reflectivity affecting temperature, not habitat loss.
• Option b: Ecosystem stability refers to an ecosystem's ability to remain balanced, not loss of species' areas.
• Option c: Habitat loss is defined as the loss of areas (habitats) that species need to survive, matching the question.
• Option d: Ice formation is the process of ice creation, unrelated to species' survival areas.

• Option a: Mountain ranges are formed by tectonic activity, not regulated by ocean circulation.
• Option b: Landforms are shaped by processes like erosion, tectonics, not ocean circulation regulation.
• Option c: Soil types are influenced by factors like parent material, climate (local), not ocean circulation.
• Option d: Ocean circulation (like thermohaline circulation) helps distribute heat globally, regulating global climate.

Answer:

c. Habitat loss
