increase in human population, increase in short-term human-induced changes, mass extinction

Aidan Zavala · Answer 2

Answer: increase in human population, increase in short-term human-induced changes, mass extinction

Explanation:

Increase in human population, increase in short-term human-induced changes, mass extinction is the correct option because increase in human population has resulted in the exploitation of the natural flora and fauna for their own use. As, the increase in demand will also promote more exploitation. Increase in short term human induced changes like pollution, fire, explosion likely to kill many living organisms. Mass extinction due to nuclear explosion has also proved to be a potent hazardous event for killing large number of organisms.
