Extinction is a natural part of the evolutionary process, as species adapt to changing environments over time. Factors such as climate change, habitat loss, competition, and predation can lead to the decline of certain species, making extinction a normal occurrence in the history of life on Earth. While many species go extinct, new ones often emerge, contributing to the dynamic balance of ecosystems. This cycle of life and death is fundamental to the evolution and diversity of species.
What else can I help you with?
What is mass depletions?
Mass depletion is an event in which extinction rates are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as a mass extinction.
How fast are we losing species to extinction now?
50 times faster than the normal rate!
Is that true The present rate of extinction is normal and about the same as at any other time in the history of the earth?
false
When the last member of a species dies is said to have occurred.?
the answer to the question is extinction
What were the 5 major extinction events in earth history?
They are the end-Ordovician extinction, end-Devonian extinction, end-Permian extinction, the Triassic extinction, end-Cretaceous extinction.
What is the term for the complete disappearance of a specie?
Extinction.
What is background extinctions?
A background extinction is the continuous extinction of individual species caused by climate change, disease, loss of habitat, and competitive disadvantages against other species. Background extinctions occur at a slow rate over time, affecting only a few species at one time.
What is meant by extinction?
An extinct animal is an animal that has no living member on Earth i.e. all of that species have died.
What is the effect of mass extinction?
The effect of mass extinction is extinction, death of a mass
What is the mass extinction?
the holocene extinction
What are the extinction of animals in the very distant past?
There were five major extinction events in the past. They are called the Cretaceous-Tertiary (or K-T) extinction event, the late Devonian mass extinction, the Permian mass extinction, the Ordovician-Silurian mass extinction and the Triassic-Jurassic mass extinction event.
Is extinction normal?
Extinction is an intrinsic part of the evolution of new species, and is a direct consequence of the forces of natural selection. However, unlike the divergence of species (a process called speciation), one or more species can go extinct at variable rates. For example, marsupial mammals disappeared (from the larger continents)over a long period of time as they lost out to placental mammals. However, most species today disappear at alarmingly rapid rates because of the loss of their habitat.
