← Nature & AnimalsIf atmospheric haze obscures the setting sun during migration, which consequence results for some bird species?
A)Increased reliance weather pattern recognition
B)Disrupted magnetic field line alignment
C)Impaired celestial compass calibration✓
D)Enhanced use topographic landmark memory
💡 Explanation
Migration relies on a celestial compass; if haze obscures the sun, calibration of navigation via stellar cues is impaired, because the birds cannot correctly orient themselves using the sun’s position. Therefore, celestial compass calibration gets affected, rather than reliance on weather or landmarks.
