5.	The continent of Europe is much warmer on average than similar latitudes in North America. This warmth is primarily a result of

Answer 1

1, environmentalism is the acitivity which aims at protecting the environment from the impacts caused by anthropogenic activities whereas ecology is the study between the relationship of organism and its environment.

Therefore option b the effect of forest management plan on the economy of a region can be called as environmentalism activity rather than ecology.

2,ecosystem includes both biotic and abiotic components of the world.

Therefore option e field mice breathe oxygen from air is an interaction at the ecosystem level.

3, c the weather changed but no conclusion can be drawn about the climate.

4, option-e- tropics

Since the sun s rays is perpendicular to the tropics, the solar energy is distributed at surface area. So tropics receives more solar energy per surface area than other regions.

5, option- b- the warm water carried by the Gulf stream.it brings warmth from Gulf of Mexico to Western Europe.
