Alarge asteroid impact occurs, kicking up dust that blocks the sun and prevents plants from photosynthesizing. what would most likely happen as a result of the asteroid impact? check all that apply. a. more earthquakes will occur across the planet. b. some plants will evolve to use dust as a source of food. c. many plants will die without sunlight for photosynthesis. d. some animals will adapt over time to survive in new conditions. e. many species will eventually die off because they lack a food source.

The correct statements are:

A. More earthquakes will occur across the planet;

An impact of a large asteroid will release a force as few millions of nuclear bombs at least, and that will affect the whole planet. The stress that will be made on the crust will trigger a lot of earthquakes all over the globe.

C. Many plants will die without sunlight for photosynthesis;

Most of the plants can not survive without sunlight because they need it for the process of photosynthesis in which they create their sugars, so without the sunlight they will die out.

D. Some animals will adapt over time to survive in new conditions;

In general, it is the small animals that are not specialized, but are more opportunistic in their diets, that will survive, and they will be able to survive much easier and replace the ones that died out.

E. Many species will eventually die off because they lack a food source;

The plants are crucial for any ecosystem, as the herbivores use them as food source, the omnivores use them as food source as well, but also the herbivores, and the carnivores use the first to for food source. Once the ones on the bottom of the food chain have no food, they die out, and because of that the rest of the animals in the food chain are left without food source, so they die out too.
