Question 2 • Earth and Space Science

Which explanation best connects species migration to increased retained energy in Earth's climate system?

Answer
A
Warming temperatures shift habitat ranges beyond some species’ tolerance, causing migration.
B
Earth's orbit changes each season, leading to longer migrations.
C
Ocean acidification causes land species to move toward coastlines where temperatures are cooler.

Explanation

As temperatures warm, some habitats become too hot or otherwise unsuitable for the species living there. Those species may migrate to areas that remain within their tolerance range, so warming can drive migration. Choice A describes this connection; the other choices incorrectly attribute migration to seasonal orbital changes or claim that ocean acidification drives land species toward cooler coastlines.
