Pollution

Sometimes, a species can become extinct from an area ifit is susceptible to the pollutant.

Pollution is the harmful substancesPollution is the harmful substances we release into the air, land, and water. Pollutants include poisonous gases and particles as well as things such as noise and light. We release it into the air, land, and water.

Habitat loss

Consequence: habitat loss can reduce species richness. Some activities kill species directly. Other times habitats are divided into little fragments and population.

Humans and their activities can destroy natures habitats. As a result, large ecosystems disappear or are fragmented into smaller patches.

Climate change

Many species cannot adapt to higher temperatures and changing climate patterns. Plants and animals are also at risk of extinction iftheir habitat changes due to other consequences of climate change, such as drought, a rise in sea levels, or a loss ofsea ice.

Climate change is a long term change in the pattern of Earth's weather.

Overharvesting

Consequences: Overharvesting leads to loss of biodiversity and environmental consequences. These consequences could be the loss of a habitat from the over harvesting of trees or the loss of a species offish as a commercial source of food from overfishing.

Humans overusing natural resources and end up destroying them. Humans sometimes harvest more plants and animals than is sustainable.

Invasive species

Consequences: sometimes native animals compete other native animals for their resources and it could change the way ecosystem functions.

It happens when a specie get or has a new habitat. Those species are called non-native species.
