Question

Which scenario best describes how climate trends might affect animal migration?
Animals found in the Arctic may move south.
Animals found at the equator may move north.
Animals found in higher elevations will move to lower elevations.
Animals found in lower elevations will stay in the same location.

Answer 1

"Animals found at the equator may move north."

Explanation: as the climate warms, many species shift their ranges poleward (toward higher latitudes) and upward in elevation to stay within their preferred temperature ranges. Therefore equatorial species tend to move north (or south, depending on hemisphere) and many low-elevation species move to higher elevations.
