← Nature & AnimalsWhich mechanism do salmon use to locate freshwater spawning territories when river confluence landmarks disappear due to glacial dam collapse?
A)Geomagnetic imprinting navigation✓
B)Polarized light direction finding
C)Celestial body positioning
D)Infrasound frequency mapping
💡 Explanation
Salmon rely on geomagnetic imprinting navigation, where they memorize Earth's fields as juveniles; therefore, they can navigate back, because this remains stable rather than riverine landmarks shifted by unpredictable geologic events.
