← Nature & AnimalsWhich effect on migrating birds occurs with increasing wing loading during substantial storms?
A)Enhanced thermal lift seeking behavior
B)Reduced predator avoidance maneuverability✓
C)Improved high-altitude air sac ventilation
D)Increased passive solar heat management
💡 Explanation
Decreasing wind and rapidly changing pressure causes birds to increase wing loading, requiring increased energy expenditure for maneuvering because it affects lift versus drag, therefore maneuverability is reduced rather than enhanced, and it compromises escape from predators.
