Which is a density-independent factor in controlling a population?
A. Water supply
B. Disease
C. Tornadoes
D. Access to food

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is option C, Tornadoes

Explanation:

All the three factors i.e water supply, diseases and access to foods are all density dependent variables and are expressed in the following ways:

a) Water supply – consumption of water (in litres)/acre

b) Disease – number of outbreaks /acres

c) Access to foods – tons of food produced /hectare

But tornado cannot be expressed in terms of area, but it can be expressed in terms of time i.e. number of tornadoes/year

A density-independent factor in controlling a population is C. Tornadoes, Thus, option "C" is correct.

What causes a tornado?

Tornadoes form from intense thunderstorms in warm, humid, unstable air along and ahead of cold shows. Such thunderstorms also may cause big hail and destructive winds. When severe springtime cyclone systems have big, tenacious areas that help tornado action, major eruptions can occur.

Thus, option "C" is correct.
