SCI.3.4.1
What effect could the following change have on populations?
Change in the environment: There is a thunderstorm and part of a forest catches on fire.
Some animals might die due to a loss of habitat, but the population will probably survive and will continue to live in the area.
Over time, animal populations might stop migrating to warmer places.
Over time, populations of plants might adapt different structures for their roots to survive in the wetter conditions.
Over time, the consumers will start to eat different plants. Their teeth may adapt to the new food.
