Question

The map shows the global distribution of amphibians. The number of different amphibian species found in an area is
shown by the various colors on the map. What likely explains the lack of species of amphibians in northern Africa and
in Antarctica?

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Amphibians require water for reproduction and part of their life cycle. Deserts in Africa have little water and frozen ice in Antarctica reduces the water in which amphibians can lay eggs.

Explanation:

To further explain why is because all amphibians are cold-blooded. Meaning that their temperature is relied on the environment to keep them warm or cool. However, in a desert or in ice it can be either extremely cold or extremely hot, thus making it uninhabitable for amphibians.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Amphibians need water for reproduction. Deserts (Africa) have low water and frozen ice in Antarctica reduces the water in which amphibians can lay eggs.

What is the cause of the decline in the global population of amphibians?

Habitat shift

Habitat loss is the primary contributing aspect to amphibian reduction globally with an evaluated 63% of all amphibian species concerned, and as more as 87% of the Threatened species impacted.

So, in a desert or on ice it can be either extremely cold or extremely hot, thus making it uninhabitable for amphibians.
