What plants and animals are effected by drought?

Answer 1

Generalising, plants and animals that haven't evolved to cope with prolonged periods of no water. Some plants have roots that go deep enough to get at underwater water, and survive, whereas a normal tree that didn't evolve in that sort of environment would have shallower roots, wouldn't reach the water and die if it doesn't have any other 'emergency hibernation mode' such as loosing its waxy leaves which, even though are waxy to lessen water loss, still causes the plant to transpire. Or for instance retaining water in its trunk from when it was more bountiful.

As for animals, it's tougher for herbivores, which only eat plants. As the plants dry up and if there isn't a lot of drinkable water in the environment, such animals get less and less water from eating. Carnivores, however, eat other animals, which have a higher content of water (blood, etc.) Their survival depends on the herbivores, however, so if a large enough number of those die or migrate, the carnivores will also die in large numbers.

Introduction

Most plants and animals live in areas with very specific climate conditions, such as temperature and rainfall patterns, that enable them to thrive. Any change in the climate of an area can affect the plants and animals living there, as well as the makeup of the entire ecosystem. Some species are already responding to a warmer climate by moving to cooler locations. For example, some North American animals and plants are moving farther north or to higher elevations to find suitable places to live. Climate change also alters the life cycles of plants and animals. For example, as temperatures get warmer, many plants are starting to grow and bloom earlier in the spring and survive longer into the fall. Some animals are waking from hibernation sooner or migrating at different times, too.

Coral Reefs

Coral reefs are created in shallow tropical waters by millions of tiny animals called polyps. Each coral makes a skeleton for itself, and over time, these skeletons build up to create coral reefs, which provide habitat for lots of fish and other ocean creatures. Warmer water has already caused coral bleaching (a type of damage to corals) in many parts of the world. The loss of coral reefs will reduce habitats for many other sea creatures, and it will disrupt the food web that connects all the living things in the ocean.

What can people do about it?

To help give coral reefs a better chance of surviving the effects of climate change, swimmers, boaters, and divers should treat these fragile ecosystems with care. People can also support groups working to protect coral reefs.

Sea Turtles

Sea turtles depend on coral to eat and survive. Without it, they cannot survive and will die out.

Hello i am Elaine,i am a stupid female

Answer 4

The migrate to a new area in search of water but they only move at night cuz of the heat and intensity of the sun
