What is the disappearance of a species from all part of an environment?

The disappearance of a species from all parts of an environment is known as extinction. This occurs when the last existing member of a species dies, leading to its complete disappearance from the planet. Extinction can be caused by various factors, including habitat destruction, climate change, pollution, and hunting.


How mass extinction affected life on Earth?

Mass extinction isn't a natural role in any life-system. They happen as a consequence of some catatrosphic disaster or radical unbalance in the eco-system. As a result of mass extinctions other 'groups' evolve into species that take the place of those exterminated.


What occurred when large numbers of species die out over a short period of time?

Mass Extinction


What happens after mass extinction?

usually an asteroid decintigrates before it hits the earth. If an asteroid hit the Earth depending on its size, the smoke and debris of the impact would block out all sunlight to Earth. It would become unbearably cold and most life would die out. This is a theory of how the dinosaurs went extinct.this is right


What is it called in particular when a high percentage of the species on earth dies off at a particular time?

These are called "mass extinctions", and there have been five such events (that we know of) on the Earth. These are generally caused either by astronomical impact events (such as the asteroid that killed off the dinosaurs 65 million years ago) or massive volcanic activity. The causes of these extinctions has been a matter of some dispute, since they happened so long ago.

How does mass extinction affect species that survive?

Every animal is a part of the food chain, so mass extinction can have very bad consequences for the species that survive. The surviving species must learn to work around the animal that has recently become extinct.


How does mass extinction effect species that survive?

animals that depended on a species for a food source or some other need will not be able to get that need if that species is extinct, and will either have diffuculty surviving, or will go extinct.


What happens during and after a mass extinction?

A mass extinction.


When all the in individuals of a species have died what is it called?

The death of every member of a species is called extinction. When a large number of different species is dies out at the same time it is called mass extinction.


Why did life continue to exist after a mass extinction?

Life continued to exist after mass extinctions due to the resilience and adaptability of certain species that were able to survive in the changed environment. These surviving species were able to evolve and fill ecological niches left empty by the extinction event, allowing life to continue and diversify over time.


What term describe development of new species and mass extinction?
