It is important for scientists to classify both living and extinct organisms so that historians can know how the earth was millions of years ago and today. It is more important today so that scientists can help people preserve the earth.
A population of organisms having few variations living in an unstable environment.
Scientists believe that Australopithecus afarensis became extinct due to a combination of factors such as changing environmental conditions, competition for resources with other species, and potential predation pressure. The inability to adapt to new ecological challenges may have also contributed to their extinction.
They kill rodents
A species that has entirely died out is considered extinct. An example of extinct species are the dodo, saber-tooth tigers, woolly mammoths, Canary Island giant rats, Cape lion, and the Red Rail.
In 1996, the Barbados raccoon was classified as extinct by the IUCN since its last sighting occurred in 1964, when one specimen was killed by a car on a road near Bathsheba.
Because scientists can not obtain the complete DNA of the extinct animal
Scientists classify animals to organize and understand the vast diversity of living organisms on Earth. Classification helps to group organisms with similar characteristics together, making it easier to study and communicate about them. It also provides insights into the evolutionary relationships between different species.

An earthquake is a result of movement along a fault line, so they aren't classified as extinct and dormant. If you mean volcanoes, an extinct volcano is one that scientists classify as unlikely to erupt again because it no longer has lava supply. A dormant volcano is one scientists believe can still be active but has not had an eruption in recent years.
We humans are not extinct. Yet.
Extinct (Extinction)
Because they show how other organisms evolved or became extinct.
Extinct refers to a species that no longer exists anywhere on Earth, meaning there are no living individuals left. Scientists obtain information about extinct species through various methods, including the study of fossils, which provide insights into their anatomy and behavior. They also analyze ancient DNA, compare extinct species to their living relatives, and use geological and ecological data to understand the environmental conditions in which these species lived. These approaches help reconstruct the history and characteristics of extinct organisms.
By the way they look, (their bone structure, body weight) and DNA too.
so it does not get extinct
because a food source can become extinct and if the other organisms only food source becomes extinct the species would starve and become extinct and other species will become extinct as well.
