Population is generally sparse at extremely high elevations. One reason is the severity

of weather up there. Another reason is the difficulty of doing things required in order

to sustain a community, such as growing food and breathing.

How limiting factors may affect population density?

Population density effects population size through many different factors: predation, spread of disease, competition for resources, and parasites. As such, it has a powerful effect on the carrying capacity of an environment.


Is seasonal cycles a density dependent limiting factor?

Seasonal cycles can impact population dynamics, but they are not considered a density-dependent limiting factor. Density-dependent factors depend on the population size, such as competition for resources or predation. Seasonal cycles can affect populations through environmental changes like temperature or precipitation variations.


What makes a natural disaster a limiting factor density independent?

A natural disaster is considered a density-independent limiting factor because its impact on a population does not depend on the population's size or density. Events such as hurricanes, earthquakes, and wildfires can affect large areas and populations regardless of how many individuals are present. This means that even in low-density populations, a natural disaster can cause significant mortality and disruption, leading to a decline in population numbers without being influenced by the population's density.


What is the type of limiting factor that does not affect small scattered populations very much?

Density-independent limiting factors do not typically affect small scattered populations as much, as they are not dependent on the population size or density. Examples include natural disasters like hurricanes or forest fires.

How does extremely high elevations appear to affect population density?

Extremely high elevations tend to have lower population densities due to harsh living conditions, such as extreme cold, low oxygen levels, and limited access to resources. These challenges make it difficult for people to inhabit and thrive in such areas, resulting in sparse populations.

What is a density dependent factor?

The density dependent factor refers to the factors that affect the size or growth of a given population density. The factors also affect the mortality rate and the Birth Rate of a population. Some of the density dependent factors are disease, parasitism, availability of food and migration.

Is altitude affect to specific gravity and density?

Yes, altitude can affect specific gravity and density due to variations in atmospheric pressure. As altitude increases, atmospheric pressure decreases, leading to a decrease in density and specific gravity of gases and substances. This is important to consider when measuring and calculating these properties at different elevations.


How might migration affect population density?

Migration can affect population distribution by causing the population of one area to increase while simultaneously decreasing the population of another. This can also cause one area to be more densely populated than another.
