← Nature & AnimalsWhen oceanic seabirds encounter magnetic anomalies during migration, which consequence results from disruption of magnetoreception?
A)Disrupted digestive enzyme production
B)Temporary disorientation of flight paths✓
C)Sudden molting and feather loss
D)Increased predation susceptibility signals noise
💡 Explanation
Seabirds use magnetoreception for navigation; therefore magnetic anomalies disrupt this inner 'compass' because these birds rely on the Earth's magnetic field to maintain course rather than visual or celestial cues, generating spatial disorientation.
