animals on the mountain

Question

Could animals adapted to live in an ecosystem at the bottom of the Rocky Mountains survive in an ecosystem at the top of the Rocky Mountains? please explain why 

Answer 1

Rose,

 

You have to look at the compatibility of the habitat in two ecosystems. For instance, aquatic species used to live in fresh water river or ponds at the bottom habitat would not survive without that specific habitat at the top. However, sturdy shrubs and vegetation might survive if the soil quality and temperature do not show extreme variation. I hope you get my point and study the habitat in detail for the species in question.
