Ringed seals give birth in lairs carved out of packed snowdrifts. Which abiotic change may increase pup mortality?(1 point) Responses reduced snowfall reduced snowfall reduced polar bear population reduced polar bear population reduced carbon dioxide reduced carbon dioxide reduced temperatures

Answer 1

Reduced snowfall may increase pup mortality in ringed seals. If there is less snowfall, there may be fewer suitable lairs for seals to give birth and shelter their pups, leading to higher mortality rates.
