Question 20
The photograph below shows a forest that has been affected by acid rain.
How has the chemical change in precipitation affected the stability of this ecosystem?
a
The forest has become alternately stable and unstable from falling trees and rocks.
b
The forest has become more stable because its terrain has become secured by grass and shrubs.
c
The forest has become more unstable because its terrain has become more likely to be eroded.
d
The forest has maintained the same level of stability because its terrain remains fully protected from erosion.

**Question 18:** Climate models predict that global warming will be most severe in which regions?
**d. Polar regions**
Global warming is expected to have the most severe impacts in polar regions due to rapid temperature increases, melting ice, and changing ecosystems.
---
**Question 19:** The regrowth of an area after a devastating wildfire is an example of what process?
**d. secondary succession**
Secondary succession occurs in areas where a disturbance (like a wildfire) has destroyed the community but left the soil intact, allowing for recovery.
---
**Question 20:** How has the chemical change in precipitation affected the stability of this ecosystem?
**c. The forest has become more unstable because its terrain has become more likely to be eroded.**
Acid rain can damage trees and vegetation, leading to increased erosion and instability in the ecosystem.
**d. Polar regions**
Global warming is expected to have the most severe impacts in polar regions due to rapid temperature increases, melting ice, and changing ecosystems.
