Question

Which of the following will NOT cause mass extinction?

A. Drastic change is weather
B. Geological change
C. Both a and b
D. None of the above

Answer 1

That would be D none of the above.

Both geologic change and a drastic change in weather can cause mass extinction.

Answer 2

D. None of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

Reason that Drastic Change in weather may cause mass extinction

Weather plays an important role in the survivability & the growth/diminish of the population. For example, animals that need large amounts/bodies of water (for example fishes), will not survive when the area is hit with a heat wave & drought, which would cause fishes to surface, and die.

Reason that Geological change would play a large role in mass extinctions

While the Geography is constantly changing, large abrupt changes would cause a upheaval and may upset the population, leading to a depletion of resources or even a sudden destruction of part/all of the population. For example, an earthquake may kill large amounts of animals, and the destruction of the greenery in the area may severely limit the amount of food/decrease the primary consumer's populations, leading to a starvation.
