A new species of mouse is introduced into an environment. These mice reproduce and the
population grows. As the population grows, food
resources diminish and predation by hawks increases
Eventually, the number of mice in the environment
levels off so that the rate of birth equals the rate of
death. What is this nearly constant number of
organisms called?
A. carrying capacity
B. exponential growth
C. lirear growth
D. competitive edge

A, carrying capacity

Explanation:

Carrying capacity is the maximum population size that can be sustained in a specific environment.

that would be called plucking : )

explanation:

''plucking, also referred to as quarrying, is a glacial phenomenon that is responsible for the erosion and transportation of individual pieces of bedrock, especially large "joint blocks". as a glacier moves down a valley, friction causes the basal ice of the glacier to melt and infiltrate joints (cracks) in the bedrock."
