Is there a link between extinction and climate change?
yes
What caused the climate of the badlands to change?
climate cooling and drier air
How does climate change explain the extinction of dinosaurs?
a change in climate means that certain plants may not be able to survive. this then causes a decrease in herbivores, and then a decrease in carnivores because of the lack of food.
What was the environment like in the Ordovician period?
The weather in the Ordovician Era was very damp weather, but also, as the era continued, it grew relativley warm.The sudden change in weather caused mass extinction. Then all of the microscopic animals began to show up.
What type of diseases are caused by climate change?
well some diseases are caused by climate change pollution of water like in the carribean there are some things polluting the water such as people and causing cholera to spark up
WHAT has caused the woolly mammoth to come under the threat of extinction?
climate change
What climate change caused the extinction of the saber-toothed Tiger?
Most likely, the end of the last ice age.
Is there a link between extinction and climate change?
yes
What event do scientist think may have caused the mass extinction at the end of the Paleozoic?
the climate change during the shifting of the plates that was causing the making of Pangea
What is extinction and what are its causes?
Extinction is where no members of a species remain alive. It can be caused by; a new predator, new competion, new diseases or the animal is poorly adapted to an abrupt climate change. i.e, the mammoth and the end of the Ice Age. There are other factors such as a giant asteroid smashing in to earth or increasing volcanic activity, these normally cause mass-extinction i.e, the dinosaurs(or K.T extinction, because this caused the cretacous era to come to an end and start the tertiary era(and no I dont no why its a K))
The Extinction of what group of animal is caused by the global climate?
Climate change has caused mass extinctions of species throughout geologic time, dating back millions of years. The earth goes through cyclic temp changes constantly, and species adapt, evolve, or simply die out. The current period of "climate change" has not been severe enough yet to cause any major fauna extinctions as of this time, and chances are good that it may not, as the warming claims may have been exaggerated.
What has always caused climate change?
climate is caused by the interplay of many factors.
What has caused most of the mass extinctions on earth?
Mass extinctions are caused by rapid, global changes. Usually these are changes in climate. Without the right temperatures and precipitation, plants that animals depend on die out, which wipes out the animals. Examples include the Permian-Triassic Extinction, where volcanoes in what is now Siberia caused intense global warming, wiping out over 90% of species, and the K-T Extinction, where an asteroid impact suddenly blocked sunlight for months or years, killing off the dinosaurs and many other organisms.
Who caused climate change?
human
What are some theories on woolly mammoth extinction?
Scientists are not sure what caused the extinction of the woolly mammoths, but they have a few theories. These include climate change at the end of the Ice Age, human induced diseases, and human overhunting. It could also be any combination of the above.
Is there a Mass extinction in the Jurassic period?
There was a minor extinction event at the end of the Jurassic period. It was probably caused by global climate change. Dinosaurs like Allosaurus, Ceratosaurus, Camarasaurus, and Stegosaurus couldn't adapt to the change in temperature, so they all died out. The Cretaceous period then came after the Jurassic period had ended.
Why do population fluctuate?
Extinction, climate change, decrease or increase in animals, loss of food.
