Question

Experts estimate that over 25,000 species become extinct each year, with some estimating this number to be over 100,000. this is an alarming rate that threatens fragile ecosystems and global biodiversity. which of these is currently the leading cause of extinctions today?a)global climate changeb)habitat loss due to human interactionsc)development of cleaner running automobilesd)natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes

Answer 1

It’s b.habitat loss due to human interactions

Answer 2

b)habitat loss due to human interactions

Step-by-step explanation:

Habitat destruction due to human activities is one of the major cause of extinction of species of living beings. Extensive human activities such as drainage of wetlands which were otherwise habitat for frogs and alteration of the physical climate of the habitat by addition of pollution has resulted in extinction of many species. Therefore, habitat destruction by human interactions is major cause of loss of biodiversity.
