Astudent designed an experiment to demonstrate the interaction between earth systems. the steps of the experiment are given below.

1. pour water on a baking dish.
2. use a fan to blow air over the water.
3. watch the formation of waves on the water surface.

the student’s experiment demonstrates the:

interactions between the hydrosphere and atmosphere during a storm

interactions between the hydrosphere and geosphere during hurricanes

interactions between the geosphere and atmosphere during tornadoes

interactions between the hydrosphere and cryosphere during a cyclone

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.
