What are two natural factors caused by nature that can cause extinctions?
climate change and asteroid impact
What is the cause of modern-day extinctions?
Modern-day extinctions are primarily driven by habitat destruction, climate change, pollution, overexploitation, and the introduction of invasive species. Human activities, such as deforestation, urbanization, and industrialization, have drastically altered natural habitats, making it difficult for many species to survive. Additionally, climate change affects ecosystems and species distribution, while pollution and overfishing further exacerbate the decline of vulnerable populations. Together, these factors create a complex web of threats that push many species towards extinction.
What are some of the causes of background and mass extinctions?
Background extinctions are typically caused by natural events such as climate change, volcanic eruptions, or asteroid impacts. Mass extinctions are often attributed to catastrophic events like major asteroid impacts, volcanic eruptions, or significant climate change, which cause widespread disruption to ecosystems and species. Human activities, such as habitat destruction, pollution, and overexploitation of resources, can also contribute to both background and mass extinctions.
What is the major cause of extinctions?
Us.
What Habitat destruction is a major cause of?
Extinctions!
Currently the major cause of biological extinction is?
Humans (Us). We are the cause of biological extinctions. We use natural resources exponentially. As mankind population increases the greater the chance of an increase percentage of a species extinction. All natural life is a cycle, once we disregard its benefits to us and overuse its properties we may find ourselves begging for just the basic mother nature has to offer us.
What is the name of the process that cause a species to evolve?
natural selection
Only people cause plant and animal extinctions.?
False A+
What is introduced species and what types of damage can it cause?
Introduced species, also known as non-native or exotic species, are organisms that are brought into a new habitat where they do not naturally occur. They can cause significant ecological damage by outcompeting native species for resources, disrupting food webs, and altering habitats. Additionally, introduced species can introduce diseases and parasites that native species are not equipped to handle. This can lead to declines or extinctions of local wildlife and a loss of biodiversity.
What are two catastrophic events that can cause mass extinctions?
An asteroid from space, and Gradualevents
Which animal become extinct recently?
Tylacine(or Tasmanian wolf), moa, steller's sea cow, and the Guam flying fox are some extict animals.
Naturally occurring events are the only things that cause plant and animal extinction?
While natural events like climate change and natural disasters can contribute to plant and animal extinctions, human activities such as habitat destruction, pollution, overhunting, and introduction of invasive species are significant causes as well. These human-induced factors often accelerate the rate of extinction beyond what would occur naturally.
