Question: The Florida Bog Frog (Lithobates okaloosae) inhabits shallow stream overflows in three counties in Florida. With such a small geographic habitat, any change in the frog's environment could cause drastic changes in the population. Which would most likely affect the frog population if acid rain changed the pH of the water?
Answer: Tadpoles would be unable to survive.
Hypothesis: if acid rain changes the ph of water then tadpoles may by unable to survive
Supporting facts: sent1: humans changing ecosystems / environments usually has a negative impact on an ecosystem / organisms living in an ecosystem sent2: animal is a kind of organism sent3: the decrease of something required by an organism has a negative impact on that organism 's survival / that organism 's ability sent4: if something has a negative impact on the survival of an organism then that organism may be unable to survive sent5: a lack of something that a living thing requires prevents the survival of that living thing sent6: humans moving in an environment usually causes native species to lose their habitats sent7: if a living thing is destroyed then the resources used by that living thing will become available sent8: as temperature in an environment decreases , the amount of water an animal in that environment will lose will decrease sent9: humans changing animal habitats usually causes harm to those animals sent10: the health of a body of water means the water quality of a body of water sent11: if water vapor is limited to reach a location , then that location will be dry sent12: emitting sulfur dioxide causes acid rain sent13: humans changing an environment causes animal populations to decrease in that environment sent14: acid rain has a negative impact on water quality sent15: weakness has a negative impact on an animal 's survival / health / ability to reproduce sent16: water pollution destroys the habitats of aquatic animals / of amphibians sent17: changing the ph of water can cause animals live in the water not be able to survive sent18: an animal requires a habitat for survival sent19: a tadpole lives in water sent20: the temperature / ph of a body of water has an impact on the health of a body of water sent21: a required resource being low in availability has a negative impact on the something that requires that resource sent22: as the amount of sulfur gas in the atmosphere increases , the ph of rain will decrease sent23: a tadpole is a kind of animal sent24: acid rain changes the ph of water sent25: cannot means not be able to
Reasoning: [BECAUSE] the health of a body of water means the water quality of a body of water [AND] the temperature / ph of a body of water has an impact on the health of a body of water [INFER] int1: ph of a body of water has an impact on the water quality of a body of water [BECAUSE] int1 [AND] acid rain changes the ph of water [INFER] int2: acid rain has an impact on the quality of a body of water by changing the ph of the water [BECAUSE] int2 [AND] acid rain has a negative impact on water quality [INFER] int3: acid rain has a negative impact on water quality by changing the ph of water [BECAUSE] a tadpole lives in water [AND] a tadpole is a kind of animal [INFER] int4: tadpoles are animals live in water [BECAUSE] int4 [AND] changing the ph of water can cause animals live in the water not be able to survive [INFER] int5: changing the ph of water can cause tadpoles not be able to survive [BECAUSE] int3 [AND] int5 [INFER] int6: acid rain has a negative impact on a tadpole's ability to survive by chaning the ph of water [BECAUSE] animal is a kind of organism [AND] a tadpole is a kind of animal [INFER] int7: a tadpole is a kind of organism [BECAUSE] int6 [AND] int7 [AND] if something has a negative impact on the survival of an organism then that organism may be unable to survive [INFER] int8: if acid rain changes the ph of water then tadpoles may by unable to survive
