26. Northern Harrier Hawks, also known as Marsh Hawks, get their name from their hunting method of flying low over the surface of fields in measured patterns, then pouncing upon
rodents, frogs, lizards, and snakes. The graph shows a general relationship between
these types of predators and their prey in an ecosystem. Which choice is true when
analyzing predator and prey population sizes? (1 point)

•A decrease in prey populations causes predator populations to increase.
•Predator populations increase shortly after prey populations increase.
•Prey populations increase at exactly the same time that predator populations increase.

• An increase in prey populations causes a drastic decrease in predator populations.

On a recent expedition to a remote region of northern canada, scientists uncovered skeletal remains from about 100,000 years ago. surprisingly, all the skeletal remains, which included many species from differing biological families and spanned about two thousand years, showed evidence of experiencing temperatures in excess of 1000 degrees fahrenheit (or 538 degrees celsius). which of the following, if true, best explains the apparent paradox between the cold environment and the evidence of the bones experiencing hot temperatures? (a) chemical changes that naturally occur during the process of decay in only one north canadian species produce the same evidence of the species' skeletons being exposed to hot temperatures as the expedition scientists found. (b) a little over 103,000 years ago, a large fire is known to have occurred in northern canada. (c) strong evidence exists that as early as 70,000 years ago, homo sapiens around the world relied heavily on fire to cook animals. (d) in the same expedition and in roughly the same layer of excavation, scientists found rudimentary wood cutting and hunting tools used by early humans.
