In the early 19th century, rabbits were shipped from Europe to Australia. These non-native rabbits rapidly became invasive due to little competition for food and relatively few predators in the introduced regions. Which of the following explains the effect humans most likely had on the ecosystem by introducing this non-native rabbit species?

decrease in population of the prey and an increase in rabbit population

Explanation:

The prey were constantly being killed and eaten by rabbits so there was a decrease in their population whilst the rabbits had an increase in their population due to there being more food for the to live on and there being less competition.

answer:

convection currents in the magma drive plate tectonics. heat generated from the radioactive decay of elements deep in the interior of the earth creates magma (molten rock) in the aesthenosphere. the aesthenosphere (70 ~ 250 km) is part of the mantle, the middle sphere of the earth that extends to 2900 km.
