density - dependent limiting factors density - independent limiting factors

Explanation:

Density - dependent limiting factors depend on population density. Food availability, human activities (like over - harvesting which depends on population density of humans or the target species), predation (more predators or prey affect each other based on density), space (competition for space depends on how many organisms are in an area), and disease (spreads more easily in dense populations) are density - dependent. Density - independent limiting factors are not related to population density. Natural disasters (like tornado is a natural disaster), tornado (a type of natural disaster), and weather (extreme weather events affect populations regardless of their density) are density - independent.
So, Density - dependent limiting factors: Food, Human activities, Predation, Space, Disease, Competition (competition for resources depends on density), Water (availability of water as a resource depends on population density).
Density - independent limiting factors: Natural Disaster, Tornado, Weather.

Answer:

Density - dependent limiting factors: Food, Human activities, Predation, Space, Disease, Competition, Water
Density - independent limiting factors: Natural Disaster, Tornado, Weather
