Step by step
Solved in 2 steps
- Distinguish between background extinction and mass extinctions.What patterns can be compare to the mass Extinctions events?If a sixth extinction event is occurring, how is it similar or different from the previous five mass extinctions? What sort of evidence do you think scientists look for to determine whether we are living through a mass extinction?
- The ends of many eras and periods in the geologic time scale are characterized by mass extinction. These events are triggered by different causes, but all are observed by the disappearance of (1) species in the succeeding rock strata. Write the answer for #1Answer these questions A) State other factors that cause extinction B) Why organisms found on islands are more vulnerable to extinction than other organisms? C) How extinction can be prevented?Describe the geological points at which mass extinctionsoccurred and give one proposed cause for eachextinction event.
