← Nature & AnimalsWhich consequence results when a kestrel relies primarily on thermals?
A)Increased susceptibility to wind shear✓
B)Increased energy expenditure for maneuvering
C)Decreased air pocket stability soaring
D)Decreased sensory adaptation effectiveness aloft
💡 Explanation
Increased wind shear risk is the outcome because thermal soaring relies on updrafts to gain altitude; thermals concentrate in specific locations, therefore kestrels are more vulnerable to rapid wind shifts, rather than maintaining speed through active flapping flight.
