Question

noise pollution
effects
noise pollution is a major health concern. millions of people experience adverse effects from noise pollution, harming both their physiological and psychological health. high noise levels can lead to stress, elevated blood pressure, and disruptions when communicating. long - term noise exposure can result in stress - related illnesses, interrupted sleep patterns, and hearing loss, affecting overall well - being and productivity.

noise pollution also negatively impacts wildlife. it disturbs the balance of predator - prey relationships, making it harder for animals to detect and avoid threats. in aquatic environments, noise pollution can disrupt sonar and echolocation, for animals like whales and dolphins. this can alter migration patterns, complicating the lives of animals that rely on sound for navigation and communication.

in aquatic environments, what does noise pollution disrupt for marine mammals like whales and dolphins?
migration patterns
breathing patterns
swimming stability
ability to see

Explanation:

From the text, it says "In aquatic environments, noise pollution can disrupt sonar and echolocation, for animals like whales and dolphins. This can alter migration patterns...". So noise pollution disrupts migration patterns for these marine mammals. The other options (breathing patterns, swimming stability, ability to see) are not mentioned as being disrupted by noise pollution for them; sonar/echolocation disruption affects migration.

Answer:

migration patterns
