What is true about the current extinction rate? a. it’s slower than the earlier mass extinction rate. b. it’s primarily attributed to human intervention. c. it’s attributed to natural environmental changes. d. it’s necessary for evolution. e. it’s affecting few species.

B. It's primarily attributed to human intervention.

Humans are destroying habitats of many animals, like coral reefs and jungles, and without a habitat, animals go extinct.

Also poachers are killing lots of animals, primarily in Africa.

It’s primarily attributed to human intervention

Explanation:

Extinction can be defined as the mass death of an animal species or a group of species. This can also be defined as the death of the last member of a particular species.

Extinction can be due to natural factors or due to human interventions. Previously the extinction of species were more due to the environmental factors but now a days the extinction of species is more due to human activities.

Climate affects the temperature, amount of water and amount of sunlight in an area. These factors affect the look of the land, as well as what types of plants and animals can survive in the biome. When the climate changes drastically, it can have seriously negative impacts on the biome.

The temperature and amounts of water and sunlight an area gets make up the basic building blocks of the climate. Somewhere with low rainfall, high temperatures and large amounts of sunlight leads to a dry, arid climate, for example. This in turn creates a desert-like biome. The plants and animals evolve in response to this harsh climate to conserve as much water as possible, and the animals often become nocturnal to deal with the high temperatures. Alternatively, somewhere with a lot of water, moderate sunlight and moderate to high temperatures creates a tropical biome, filled with lush plant life and many different species of animals. Frigid temperatures with little sunlight, such as in the Arctic and Antarctic regions, evolve fewer animals and organisms because of the climate. The climate is one of the most important parts of how a biome evolves. Geography also has a huge impact, since it affects the amount of water, type of soil and elevation.
