How many species go extinct every year?

Answer 1

Extinction rates vary and can sometimes be rapid, and some times slow. Extinction rates are affected by biotic, competition between species, hunting etc, and abiotic factors, volcano eruptions, weather etc.

Answer 2

Each year as many as 50,000 species of animals and plants become extinct due to deforestation and hunting. This causes the food chain to muddle up, and other animals die out. If one animal or plant becomes extinct, then the prey of the animal becomes overpopulated with nothing to eat them, and the predator dies off because it has nothing to feed on. It has a hge effect on other animals if one animal becomes extinct.

Answer 3

Some people say one animal goes extinct a day. So if this was correct 365/366 animals would go extinct every year. But this number has not been scientifically proven and is a very rough estimate. The real number is unknown as many species that become extinct are unknown to science.

Answer 4

It really all depends on the type of animal(for instance something that has less offspring may be more likely to become extinct first it also depends on were they live,the fish in the Gulf of Mexico have alot less of a chance of survival than a bear in a government owned forest)
