Answer 1

*100% CORRECT ANSWERS

Question 1

all of the above

Question 3

Which of the following is not a possible effect of rising carbon dioxide levels on plants?

increased plant mortality

Question 4

How does an early onset of spring through climate change affect plants?

their growing and flowering season starts earlier and is longer

Question 5

Environmental factors can cause various changes in ecosystems. Which of the following would most likely have the greatest lasting effect on an ecosystem?

change to the landscape from construction

Question 6

How does change to an ecosystem that results in succession benefit the ecosystem?

it leads to an increased level of biodiversity

Question 7

How do the benefits of natural change to ecosystems compare to the disadvantages?

the benefits outweigh the disadvantages

Question 8

Environmental factors can have various effects on ecosystems. In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina caused significant damage in several states along the Gulf Coast, including Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Thousands of people were evacuated from their homes due to flooding and other damage caused by the storm. What environmental impact would Hurricane Katrina not have caused?

early onset of spring

Question 9

Rising levels of carbon dioxide most likely

have a greater detrimental effect on the sea

Question 10

Which scenario best describes how climate trends might affect animal migration?

animals found at the equator may move north

Answer 2

a. extinction

Step-by-step explanation:

The species that have a very narrow temperature tolerance are usually species that are very specialized for their environment. These species are the ones that suffer the most if there's changes in the environment, and usually are the first ones to go extinct. If the temperature changes, especially if it happens relatively quickly, apart from the difficulty that species will have with the temperature itself, it will also have huge problems with the quickly changing habitat. The end result will be a quick demise and extinction of the species.
