Q1: The Farallon Islands, or Devil's Teeth, as they are referred to by sailors, area group of small islands with rocky, barren terrain and treacherousunderwater currents, 48 km (30 miles) off the coast of San Francisco,California. Although the islands are small, with a combined total land areaof 0.41 km (0.16 square miles), they are positioned in a major oceanCurrent, which enables them to house dense populations of birds,rodents, seals, and other water mammals. The abundance of wildlife first attracted Russian and American furtraders in the early 1800s, who then nearly eliminated the sealpopulation in the area. The islands then became an agricultural resource10r San Francisco during the Gold Rush era when egg companies beganharvesting bird eggs on the islands. In 1863, Violence between rival eggCompanies erupted on the islands (known as the "Egg War"), whichinadvertently attracted national attention and provoked lawmakers topass legislation to protect and rehabilitate the islands natural ecosystem.In 1881, an executive order was passed that decreed egging illegal on theFarallons. This ended private enterprises on the islands and wasreinforced in 1909 when President Theodore Ro0sevelt created theFarallon Reservation to restrict human access and preserve the northernislands. Protection was expanded in 1967 to include all the FarallonIslands, and over time many of the islands original inhabitants havereturned.The Farallons are now home to the world's largest population of westerngulls. Seals have returned, as well as otters’ sea lions, which in turnattracts great white sharks. The combination of sharks, underwaterCurrents, and jagged coastline are probably what earned the Farallonstheir nickname "Devil's Teeth," though it hasn't stopped a fewadventurous people from swimming. Four people have completed the30-mile swim from the islands to San Francisco; the fastest personcompleted the journey in 14 hours.Stimulus: 1 of 6Which of the following Supports the detail that the Farallon islands are a natural home to many animals?
