A)decrease in water depth due to seismic shift

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Canopy cover is an autogenic change because it is a change that is caused by the actions of the organisms within the ecosystem. In this case, the trees themselves are causing a decrease in light availability by blocking the sunlight with their leaves. The other options are all examples of environmental changes that are caused by external factors such as seismic activity, tides, and human activity, and are therefore not autogenic changes.
