← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome compromises a beaked whale foraging at depth?
A)Acoustic interference from prey swarms✓
B)Reduced thermocline layer reflection rates
C)Increased water viscosity resistance
D)Nitrogen narcosis inhibiting sound production
💡 Explanation
A foraging beaked whale's Navigation is affected by masking, because other odontocetes or dense plankton reflections create acoustic clutter, therefore reducing the echolocation range, rather than thermoclines or viscocity, which don't directly disrupt signal identification.
