Which of the following is most likely to be a limiting factor for growth on the floor of a tropical rainforest?
a.

water

b.

shelter

c.

sunlight

d.

prey

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. It is the sunlight that most likely to be a limiting factor for growth on the floor of a tropical rainforest. Sunlight hardly reach the floor of forests due to the large branches that covers the forest floor. Hope this answers the question.

Mantle convection is the process that drives plate tectonics. the theory of plate tectonics states that the crust is divided into plates that float on the semi molten mantle below. the circular motion of the magma as it slowly rises and falls or move though convection cells drags the plates along causing them to move. the heat source in the lamp would represent the earth's core. the core is the source of energy that drives convection in the mantle. the lava represents molten magma under the earth's surface. if the lava lamp had floating pieces they would move as the circular motion of the lava in the lamp as it rises and falls would move them along the surface. these floating pieces would represent pieces of the earth's crust.
