Question

Compare a slow change such as continents moving with a rapid change such as a meteorite striking Earth. What are some of the similarities in the way the two changes affect Earth? What are some of the differences?

Answer 1

A slow change such as continents moving will create differences in ecosystems. This is also the same effect caused by a rapid change such a meteorite striking earth. These two phenomena will create diversity and different living conditions. The slow change, however, will give organisms time to adopt giving them a good chance of survival, unlike a rapid change which will give most, if not all, organisms little chance to survive.
