@tanya123

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

i thought they were supposed to be isolated and thus have less species

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

so I suppose C is the likely option

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

though i hardly see how isolation instead of location is the determining factor of where natural disasters occur

OpenStudy (tanya123):

Ok, so which one's are you eliminating ?

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

A and B

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

cause how the heck does it increas in a tiny area there simply not the resurces

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

and same for e

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

hey maybe it D because theyre small

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

if you think about it, its harder to hit the class nerd with a dodgeball than the fat kid of the class

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

so in the same way its harder for a cyclone to damage a small environment

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

but in saying that, if it does, the damage is more significant

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

did you like the analogy?

OpenStudy (tanya123):

um, never took that subject. And lol you got good examples

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

so.....?

OpenStudy (tanya123):

Habitat fragmentation describes the emergence of discontinuities in an organism's preferred environment, causing population fragmentation. --- so I don't see the point of (E)

OpenStudy (tanya123):

So, I agree with D. that sounds right to me..!

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

cool-cool
