Biomes on Earth have exhibited changes throughout history that have been caused by a variety of factors. Over the past 50 years, the amount of tropical rainforest acreage found throughout the world has decreased from 14.8 billion acres to 8.6 billion acres due to deforestation. What factor is likely most responsible for the changes observed in the world's rainforests? a. volcanic activity b. human activity c. temperature changes d. solar eclipses

Correctly classifying the following labels with the correct human-induced change linked to the current extinction event. Can have deleterious effects on biological communities by preying on native species or competing with them for resources and displacing them. Described as the increased amount of CO2 in Earth's atmosphere due to the burning of fossil fuels. Individuals from a wild population are being removed from an environment faster than they can be replaced. Introduced to a new area, it spreads rapidly and displaces native species. Increasing atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide are altering Earth's temperatures. Direct threat to biodiversity since this practice targets specific species without sustainable practices. Results in patchy and degraded environments that do not support native species. Altering of landmasses and aquatic habitats for agricultural purposes. Climate change. Invasive species. Habitat destruction. Overexploitation. Pollution.
