The life cycle of a mosquito depends on the availability of standing or slow-moving water. if there is a lower-than-normal number of mosquitoes present in one area, which limiting factor is most likely the cause? a. a decline in populations of insect-eating birds b. a severe drought c. a reduction in pesticide usage d. an abnormally mild winter

Mosquito thrives on watery places particularly in stagnant water like discarded tires, flower vases and uncovered barrels. They are motivated to lay eggs in standing water containers where bacteria produce fatty acids. Therefore, the limiting factor most likely to cause the lower number of mosquito is a severe drought where proliferation of mosquito is difficult.

explanation:

plate tectonics and volcanic euptions

over time, plate tectonic processes cause continents to move to different positions on the globe.

for example, britain was near to the equator 300 million years ago, and therefore was hotter than it is today. for further details look at our climate through time poster or online map.

the movement of the plates also causes volcanoes and mountains to form and these too can contribute to a change in climate.

mountain ranges formed by plate tectonics. large mountain chains can influence the circulation of air around the globe, and consequently influence the climate.   warm air might be deflected somewhere cooler by the mountains.

weathering is the answer.
