← Nature & AnimalsWhich risk increases for sea turtle hatchlings migrating near coastal power lines?
A)Decreased metabolism rate slows travel
B)Disrupted geomagnetic imprinting misdirects path✓
C)Muscle fatigue from constant swimming
D)Predator detection due to reduced vigilance
💡 Explanation
Disrupted geomagnetic imprinting occurs because electromagnetic interference interferes with magnetoreception which guides navigation; therefore, hatchlings misdirect their migration, rather than adjusting metabolism, because of disrupted geomagnetic signals.
