What are some examples of density-independent limiting factors?

Answer 1

Density-independent factors are environmental factors affecting a population regardless of size, such as temperature and oxygen supply.

One Density-independent factors would be the impacts of an earthquake on a pack of wild dogs. The number of dogs does not affect the result of the earthquake upon the dog population. In contrast, drought is a density-dependent factor because more dogs will cause greater competition for limited water resources.

or just C. competition

Answer 2

If you mean dependant variables, the ones you depend on for the results, then you need to state the experiment before you ask the question.

Density is effected by temperature and intermolecular forces, a key word to use if your answering a homework (which by the phrasing of the question i think you are). When you cool water the atoms are slowed down because they've lost energy and so the spaces between the atoms decrease, the density there depends on the temperature.

Please rephrase your question and i will give a better answer.

Answer 3

They include natural disasters/cycles or human activities such as hurricanes and deforestation

Answer 4

Earthquakes, snowstorms, weather conditions in general, air pollution, and human activity are density independent limiting factors :)

Answer 5

Natural Disasters, seasonal cycles, and certain human activities.

-drought & other climate extremes

- human disturbances
