How did the diversion of water from the everglades lead to environmental problems?
The diversion of water from the Everglades caused drought and habitat loss for many species that could endanger or extinct them
How might extinction of one species throw an ecosystem into turmoil?
The extinction of one species can disrupt an ecosystem by affecting its food web and interactions among species. This can lead to population imbalances, reduced biodiversity, and potentially cascading effects on other species that relied on the extinct species for food or other resources. Without the extinct species playing its role in the ecosystem, the balance and functioning of the ecosystem can be negatively impacted.
What would happen if one of the species in your chain became extinct?
If an animal in a ecosystem chain became extinct - the WHOLE ecosystem would collapse because, believe it or not, every single species counts. For example, if a bird species in a forest became extinct - everything that ate the bird would die without their "food" and everything that ate them would die and so on and so forth.
Two species have the same niche. What is the most likely outcome when one species is the superior competitor?
The superior competitor is likely to outcompete the other species for resources, leading to a decrease in the population of the inferior competitor. This could potentially lead to the inferior competitor being displaced or evolving to occupy a different niche to reduce competition.
How is genetic variation related to a species chance of becoming extinct?
Little or no variation could lead to failure to adapt to changing conditions. Too much variation would prevent the species from passing on beneficial traits because they would change too rapidly.
How is genetic variation related to a species's chances of becoming extinct?
Little or no variation could lead to failure to adapt to changing conditions. Too much variation would prevent the species from passing on beneficial traits because they would change too rapidly.
How is genetic variation related to species chances of becoming extinct?

Can a tsunami cause extinction of a species?
Yes. If a certain area has a group of animals living in a compact space, that species could become extinct easily. Also, a tsunami could cover a large area, harming species and the food chain which could later lead to extinction.
Does the greenhouse effect cause species get extinct?
The greenhouse effect itself does not directly cause species to go extinct. However, the resulting climate change caused by an enhanced greenhouse effect can lead to changes in habitats and ecosystems that can threaten the survival of certain species, potentially contributing to extinction.
What can happen in the ocean if a link in a food chain is broken?
If a link in a food chain is broken, it can disrupt the entire ecosystem. For example, if a predator species goes extinct, it can lead to overpopulation of its prey species, which can then have cascading effects on other species lower in the food chain. This can lead to imbalances in population sizes, changes in species composition, and overall ecosystem instability.
How is extinction of a species related to its inability to adapt to its environment?
A species who cannot adapt to its environment, cannot survive. Adaptations have kept species from being extinct. Adaptations can include, changes in diet, development of protection such as fur coats against temperature, and even skin color changes to act as camouflage from predators.
What are 2 things that could cause the extinction of the cheetah?
cheetah's aren't extinct...... but like poachers and stuff could eventually lead to their extinction.
