← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when a migratory bird encounters localized reversal of Earth's polarity?
A)Exaggerated detour toward original path✓
B)Permanent abandonment of migration route
C)Temporary increase in foraging behavior
D)Unaffected, continues on solar cues
💡 Explanation
Migratory birds use magnetoreception for navigation; localized reversals trigger disrupted Magnetic Compass readings because distortions yield mistaken direction cues, therefore a bird overcorrects back to its established route, rather than abandoning it, as solar cues may still give rough positioning.
