Many endangered species of birds in Hawaii are in danger of contracting avian malaria from mosquito bites. Many of these bird species live in the higher elevations of mountains in Hawaii, where it is too cold for the mosquitoes to exist. If global warming continues at the current estimated pace, what would you expect to happen to the distribution of these bird species?a) Their distribution will decrease to areas of even higher elevation.
b) Their distribution will increase because mosquitoes will die in the warmer regions.
c) Their distribution will remain the same, but their population size will decrease.

Answer :

bogadu

Answer: A

Explanation:

Endangered species will always move to a more favorable environment, this is termed extirpation. Since global warming will lead to increase in temperature, the endangered birds will have to move to higher mountains where the temperature may be too cold for mosquitoes to survive.

Global warming is the increase in the temperature or the heating of the earth. The population of the bird will decrease to higher elevation areas.

What is the result of global warming?

The increase of greenhouse gases led to the increase in the temperature of the planet and hence caused global warming. it is considered one of the main reasons for climatic change and species extinction.

The birds will move to the even higher altitudes of mountains to the colder regions to avoid mosquitoes and the heat of global warming. The birds will move to favourable conditions so that the mosquitoes will not able to survive.

Therefore, option a. they will move towards the higher altitude areas.
