Which of the following is true of the surface water and deep water of the ocean?(1 point A There is little vertical mixing between layers because currents only flow sideways.

B There is constant vertical mixing as fresh water evaporates and the salty surface water that remains sinks.

C There is constant vertical mixing between layers because the warm water is atop the colder water.

D There is little vertical mixing between layers because the warm water is atop the colder water.

answer: decrease

a limiting factor is the one which decrease the abundance, distribution and causes extinction of the population of species in a ecosystem. here, predators including hawks, owls and snakes are the limiting factor for the population of mexican free tailed bat.   although bats are nocturnal animals as they forge for food at night these predators also may remain active during night which can decrease the population of the mexican free-tailed bats. also, these bats eat only one type of insects that are moths. the food can also be a limiting factor as all 400 members are dependent upon same type of food needs that are moths. the decrease in the moth population can cause decrease in population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.

therefore, the scenarios will most likely to decrease the population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.
