Question

PLSS HELP!! 80 POINTS The crabs that live in the aquatic biome pictured depend on living in

shallow water that has a temperature no greater than 60 degrees F. If climate change
causes an increase of that water’s temperature to 62 degrees F, what will likely happen to the dolphins in that biome, and why?
80 POINTS

Answer 1

The dolphin population may diminish a little.

Step-by-step explanation:

Crabs are one of the many things dolphins eat, and, as the prompt suggests, they cannot live in temperatures greater than 60 degrees F. If climate change makes the temperature 62 degrees F, the crab population will all die. However, note that dolphins do not only eat crabs, as they have other food sources. However, crabs are a major population, so we can see a disruption in the food web, with there being fewer dolphins than usual.
