Question

15 multiple choice 1 point why do scientists believe we are in the midst of a sixth mass extinction? increased volcanic activity worldwide natural evolutionary processes earths natural life cycles rapid species loss caused by human activities

Explanation:

The sixth mass extinction is mainly due to human - related factors. Human activities such as deforestation (destroying habitats), over - hunting, pollution (including chemical and plastic pollution), and climate change (largely driven by human - made greenhouse gas emissions) are causing rapid species loss. Volcanic activity is a natural event that is not the main driver currently. Natural evolutionary processes and Earth's natural life cycles occur over much longer time scales and do not explain the current rapid extinction rate.

Answer:

Rapid species loss caused by human activities.
