Effects of Change Quick Check
1. Which major environmental change is occurring today that could cause the next mass extinction?
*climate change
2. What is the difference between a mass extinction and a regular (background) extinction?
*Mass extinction involves many species over a short period of geologic time.
3. After the K-Pg mass extinction event, mammals were able to survive and proliferate. Which of the following factors contributed to this success the least?
*most mammals being nocturnal, allowing them to see better in the darkened conditions.
4. Fossils provide evidence that best helps scientists determine changes over time in
*the emergence or extinction of species.
5. Scientists use a variety of tools to learn about the history of the earth, evolution, environmental change, and its effects. Which type of evidence is most affected by human error (and thus less reliable)?
*mathematical and computer models
These answer are all correct as of March 2022
ayo is wrong i got a 3/5,
Answers-
1. Which major environmental change is occurring today that could cause the next mass extinction?
Climate chage*
2. What is the difference between a mass extinction and a regular (background) extinction?
Mass extinction involves many species over a short period of geologic time
3. After the K-Pg mass extinction event, mammals were able to survive and proliferate. Which of the following factors contributed to this success the least?
most mammals being nocturnal, allowing them to see better in the darkened conditions*
4. How is climate change today similar to the major K-Pg extinction event that ended the reign of the dinosaurs?
Individuals that can’t adapt are dying, and species are going extinct*
5. Fossils provide evidence that best helps scientists determine changes over time in
the emergence or extinction of species.
Hope it helps <3
sup is right
1.climate change
2. Mass extinction involves many species over a short period of geologic time.
3.most mammals being nocturnal, allowing them to see better in the darkened conditions.
4.the emergence or extinction of species.
5.mathematical and computer models question 5 got me it really was math and computer
Yes man U are 100% right thx so much
But also to comment on school, never trust the letter answers for these quick checks. The longer answer is better.
correct
