Answer: 1. It results from the disappearance of entire species in a short time.

3. It is caused by the growth of the human population.

6. It is caused by an increase in the introduction of non-native species.

Step-by-step explanation:

A mass extinction can be define as death of large population of a species due to natural hazard or due human induced impacts over the environment.

Following are the examples of human created mass extinction:

1. It results from the disappearance of entire species in a short time.: Human induced impacts like nuclear explosion can lead to the disappearance of the entire species in short time.

3. It is caused by the growth of the human population.: With the advent of human population worldwide the demand for resources like habitat, water, food and other needs increased. This lead to the extinction of many flora and fauna species.

6. It is caused by an increase in the introduction of non-native species. : A non-native species if introduced by human intervention into a natural ecosystem may compete for native species for resources. This may lead to the extinction of inferior native species.
