Question
examine the diagram that shows a pond and several organisms that live in it. a flock of geese migrates to the pond. which statement describes a possible negative effect of this migration on the pond environment? the population density will increase. the pond will flourish due to the addition of a new species. the population density will decrease. the geese will bring new resources to the pond.
When a flock of geese migrates to the pond, more organisms are added to the limited - space area. Population density is the number of organisms per unit area. An increase in the number of organisms in a fixed area leads to an increase in population density. Higher population density can cause competition for resources like food, space, and water, which is a negative effect on the pond environment. The other options describe positive or incorrect effects.
