Ryan lives in a house near a small lake. In the past few months, he has
noticed that there has been very little rainfall due to a drought. He
monitored the water depth in the lake by inserting a metal cylinder in the
sand and marking the water level each week for 4 weeks. He recorded his
data in the table below. What would MOST LIKELY take place in the lake
ecosystem based on this data?"
O
The fish population would decrease due to competition for food and shelter
O
The deer population would increase due to incropsed space for habitats
O
Trees near the water's edge will grow twice as fast during the drought
O
Fish-eating birds would find it more difficult to catch their prey in the lake
