An earthquake-related tsunami is a density-independent factor because it can affect populations regardless of their size or density. Tsunamis are triggered by geological events such as earthquakes and have the potential to impact ecosystems and populations regardless of their size.
The number of moose on the island is a density-dependent limiting factor for the wolves. As the moose population fluctuates, it directly impacts the available food source for the wolves. If the moose population decreases, the wolves will face food scarcity, potentially limiting their population growth.
Space and food sources are density-dependent factors.
Density dependent factors are factors that depend of the population (density). Such as food, water, and space Density Independent factors are factors that the population (density) depends on. Such as weather, natural disasters and random occurances.
Food availability is a density-dependent factor because as the population size increases, competition for limited food resources also increases, leading to a decrease in individual fitness and population growth.
Space and food sources are density-dependent factors.
density dependent
A density dependent factor is a factor that is affected by the amount of organisms in a population. An example of this would be sickness, as the higher the density is, the more easily the sickness will spread.

Crowding, disease, and competition are all density-dependent limiting factors EXCEPT, seasonal cycles. Seasonal cycles are NOT a density- dependent limiting factor.
