Snow Depth (cm)
The scientist finds that climate change has resulted in a reduction in the average snow depth in the region where tawny owls live. The average snow
depth in the year 1980 was approximately 12 cm, which reduced to 3 cm in 2008.
How did the distribution of gray and brown tawny owls in the population likely change from the year 1980 to 2008?
O In 1980 there were more brown-colored owls, and in 2008 there were the same number of gray and brown owls
O In 1980 there were more gray-colored owls, and in 2008 there were the same number of gray and brown owls.
O The populations of gray and brown owls were the same in the year 1980, and the number of gray owls increased in the year 2008.
O The populations of gray and brown owls were the same in the year 1980, and the number of brown owls increased in the year 2008.
