How many species vanish each week?

It is estimated that about 150-200 species go extinct every week. This rate is significantly higher than the natural background extinction rate. Loss of habitats, climate change, pollution, and other human activities are some of the main reasons for this high extinction rate.


How have humans increased the rate of extinction in the world?

No.


What is cause background extinction?

It is the fate of most living things eventually to go extinct. standard commonplace rate of extinction not associated with a mass extinction.


How do biologists estimate extinction rates?

Biologists estimate extinction rates by monitoring population sizes, habitat loss, and factors affecting species survival such as climate change and human activities. They use mathematical models to predict future extinction probabilities based on current trends. Additionally, researchers collect data on species declines and the rate of biodiversity loss over time to assess and quantify extinction rates at a global scale.


What do you think are the main reasons for the increased rate of extinction?

Extinction of species may greatly affected by man made change to the ecological system. There are troubles in measuring the actual extinctions increased by man. With the extincted species we got newly adapted species to replace. By average, living species live for 10 MYr average and we hardly measure the increase rate of extinction since we can hardly estimated a correct background extinction rate. For what scientist can say is, human existence become major factor of species natural selection process. Those that can adapt to coexist with human had greater chance of survival.

How does the rate of extinction compare to the rate of species formation on earth today?

Currently, the rate of extinction is significantly higher than the rate of species formation on Earth. Human activities, such as habitat destruction, climate change, and pollution, have accelerated the extinction rate. This imbalance in the rates of extinction and species formation is leading to a loss of biodiversity at an alarming rate.


What percentage of the worlds species are expect to disapper in the next century if the current rate of extinction continues?

31%


How does rate of extinction compare to the rate of species formation on earth today?

The rate of extinction is faster.

How does the rate of extinction compare to the rate species formation on earth today?

The rate of extinction is faster.


According to some scientist what is current rate of extinction?

they say 87% a year but it is all our fault as men and women


How fast is the current extinction rate compared to normals levels?

The current extinction rate is estimated to be 100 to 1,000 times higher than the natural background rate, which is the rate at which species would typically go extinct without human influence. This accelerated rate is largely attributed to habitat destruction, climate change, pollution, and overexploitation of species. Researchers warn that if this trend continues, up to one million species could face extinction in the coming decades, signaling a significant loss of biodiversity.


Is gold rate are decreasing in may?

may be gold rate are decreasing next 2 months


What is the likely cause of the current increase rate of extinction?

Deforestation, because most of animal species live in the rainforest but it is getting cut down so animals get closer to extinction. Like the jaguar.


Calculate unemployment rate?

The current unemployment rate in the United States is 22.5 Percent as of May 2014. It is down significantly from the previous year.


Does the rate of change have to be negative?

no... the sign indicates whether the rate of change is increasing or decreasing. It is only negative if the rate is decreasing over time.
