Elementary School: 3rd, 4th & 5th Grade - Geography - Wildlife Corridors Solution

Q.1.

What is a disadvantage of wildlife corridors?

0%
Wildlife corridors allow animals to move from habitat to habitat
0%
Wildlife corridors allow animals to pass through or close to areas of human settlements
0%
Wildlife corridors give a fixed, safer route for animals to travel
0%
Wildlife corridors allow diverse groups to mix

Q.2.

In terms of genetic diversity, how do wildlife corridors help prevent species extinction?

0%
Wildlife corridors reduce inbreeding and genetic drift
0%
Wildlife corridors allow animals to escape hunting
0%
Wildlife corridors allow animals to use one area for hunting and one for breeding
0%
Wildlife corridors increase genetic drift and inbreeding

Q.3.

How can housing developers and planners help wildlife?

0%
By blocking off developments to prevent animals entering the area and forcing them to pass around
0%
By making sure that routes funnel animals through the developments without pausing
0%
By making sure that there is clear signage on roads warning drivers about animal crossings
0%
By providing gardens and green spaces for wildlife and humans, and leaving wildlife corridors for animals to pass through

Q.4.

What is a riparian ribbon?

0%
A type of marking that shows road users where crossings intersect with roads
0%
A ribbon of wild land encircling a new development
0%
A water based corridor such as a river or stream
0%
A wildlife corridor that snakes between settlements to allow passage without intersecting with developments

Q.5.

How do dams prevent rivers being used as wildlife corridors?

0%
Dams normally have industrial developments either side. These will discourage animals
0%
The deeper water can drown some of the sensitive species
0%
Species that move up or down river can't jump over the dam, and often the land originally either side is flooded
0%
The increased flow is too much for many species to swim against

Q.6.

What is habitat fragmentation?

0%
Habitat is broken up by logging, roads, and other developments
0%
Fragments of habitat are brought back together
0%
Species that migrate are assigned different habitats for different times of the year
0%
Certain fragments of the habitat, such as particular plant species, are removed

Q.7.

How can forestry companies prevent fragmenting habitats?

0%
By leaving corridors for animals to pass between areas of forest that are contnuing to grow
0%
By cutting in linear strips across the entire forest to allow animals to pass through
0%
By putting bridges in place to allow animals to cross the cut sections
0%
By only cutting every second tree to thin the forest, rather than stripping the forest to bare ground

Q.8.

How can road design work to incorporate wildlife corridors?

0%
By including concrete sidewalks to allow animals to walk along the side of the road
0%
By including roadside vegetation to allow a distinct wildlife corridor separate from the road itself
0%
By putting bridges between every possible piece of habitat
0%
By including signage and markings to warn drivers of crossing points

Q.9.

Which of the following is a way farmers can help wildlife cross their land?

Q.10.

Migratory species can travel for thousands of miles. Besides willife corridors, what do they require?
