Adeveloper wants to turn part of a local woodlot into a new housing development. a vernal pool exists in the part of the woodlot marked for development. how might the developer’s plan affect the salamanders that live in the woodlot?

student
a the salamanders would have no water to drink.
b the salamanders would have no place to mate and lay their eggs.
the development would have no effect on the salamander population.
c the salamanders would not survive at all if the developer built houses in the woodlot.
i know its b but why would it be b?

The developer's plan would affect the salamanders that live in the woodlot by taking away their vernal pool, the lack of a vernal pool would mean that the salamanders would have no place to mate and lay their eggs. This would result in a drastic reduction of salamanders in the area.

If these are the missing choices: a. to determine skin temperature, place the back of your hand against the patient's skin.b. determine body temperature by touching the patient's hands and feet.c. skin temperature will tell you very little about this patient's condition or well-being.d. the patient's skin temperature and color will likely be warm and red.my answer is: a. to determine skin temperature, place the back of your hand against the patient's skin. using the back of the hand to check for temperature rather than the palm is more effective because the back of the hand has more nerves that can feel and transmit the temperature than the palm.
