5. if population size temporarily exceeds the environmental deaths will increase until the population size returns to previous levels. a. carrying capacity b. density c. reclamation d. growth factor

A. carrying capacity

A carrying capacity of the ecosystem or the environment refers to the maximum number of individuals in a population of species that an ecosystem can support in terms of available resources like food, habitat, water and other necessities. If the size of the population exceeds the environmental carrying capacity, this will result in death as all individuals will not be able to derive resources and the population size will return to previous levels.

igneous rocks also form where plates converge. the subducting plate melts as it sinks into the crust of the earth, and the melt rises into the overriding plate forming volcanoes. metamorphic rocks are formed mainly in the lithosphere, wherever there is high pressure and high temperature. -woods
