Changes in the weather plays a major role in affecting the patterns of speciation and extinction.

d. changes in the weather.

Explanation:

Patterns of speciation and extinction are generally affected due to change in the weather. Speciation is known as formation of new and distinct species. Extinction is simply known as the death of the last individual of the species. Speciation events are stimulated at the different mountaintops by the change in climate.

Extinction is caused by natural occurrence like unpredictable disaster, environmental stress and ecological interactions. Extinction happens due to rapid change in the climate at particular locality.
