← Nature & AnimalsWhich outcome occurs when thermal updraft strength weakens during hawk soaring?
A)Increased reliance on powered flapping✓
B)Decreased angle of attack for stable glide
C)Reduced metabolic rate for energy savings
D)Enhanced counteracting tail adjustments
💡 Explanation
When thermal updraft weakens, hawks experience decreased lift which negates sustained soaring requiring the hawk will transition via flapping flight because maintaining sufficient airspeed becomes difficult. Therefore powered flapping increases is likely, rather than angle decreases, conservation, or tail compensations which address differing aerodynamic needs.
