Question

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

Explanation:

Scientists believe we are in the midst of a sixth mass extinction mainly due to human - related factors. Natural evolutionary processes and Earth's natural life cycles are much slower and not the main drivers of the current rapid species loss. Increased volcanic activity worldwide is not the primary cause either. Human activities such as deforestation, over - hunting, pollution, and climate change (caused by human - induced greenhouse gas emissions) have led to a rapid decline in species populations and extinctions.

Answer:

Rapid species loss caused by human activities
