1) A hurricane blows across a Caribbean island. The storm flattens trees,
and it drowns or washes away a large number of plants and animals. As a
result of the storm, the carrying capacity of the island is temporarily
reduced for many of the island species. How is the storm classified as a
limiting factor?
The storm is a density-dependent limiting factor, because its effect depends on the
strengths of its wind and rainfall.
C. The storm is a density-dependent limiting factor, because its effect depends on the
size and density of a population.
The storm is a density-independent limiting factor, because population size and
density do not alter the storm's effect.
