Extinction events can vary in their pace, but many significant events in Earth's history, such as the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction, occurred relatively rapidly, often over a few thousand to million years. These rapid extinctions are typically triggered by catastrophic events like asteroid impacts or massive volcanic eruptions. In contrast, background extinctions, which happen continuously over time due to gradual environmental changes, are generally slower. Overall, while some extinction events are rapid, others can occur over extended periods.

What are the time periods that determine slow vs rapid depressurization?
A rapid depressurization typically occurs within seconds, while a slow depressurization takes longer, typically minutes or even hours. Rapid depressurization is usually associated with sudden events like a rupture or explosion, while slow depressurization can happen due to gradual leaks or failures in the system.
Characteristics of an acute disease?
Rapid onset, and (usually) rapid resolution - as opposed to chronic diseases, which usually have a slow onset, and an insidious, protracted course.

Physical growth during infancy tends to be slow or rapid?
It is rapid and episodic.
How do slow changes such as moving continents affect organisms differently than rapid changes such as a meteorite affict organisms?
Slow changes like moving continents can give organisms time to adapt and evolve to new conditions over generations. Rapid changes, like a meteorite impact, can cause immediate destruction and extinction for many organisms that may not have time to adapt. Overall, slow changes allow for more gradual adjustments and potential persistence of species.
Does a steep curve on the line graph indicate a rapid or slow rate of change?
