When a species is no longer adapted to a changed environment, it may perish The exact causes of a species’ death vary from situation to situation Rapid ecological change may render an environment hostile to a species For example, temperatures may change and a species may not be able to adapt Food Resources may be affected by environmental changes, which will then cause problems for a species requiring these resources Other species may become better adapted to an environment, resulting in competition and, ultimately, in the death of a species The fossil record reveals that extinction has occurred throughout the history of Earth Recent analyses have also revealed that on some occasions many species became extinct at the same time – a mass extinction One of the best-known examples of mass extinction occurred 65 million years ago with the demise of dinosaurs and many other forms of life Perhaps the largest mass extinction was the one that occurred 225 million years ago When approximately 95 percent of all species died, mass extinctions can be caused by a relatively rapid change in the environment and can be worsened by the close interrelationship of many species If, for example, something were to happen to destroy much of the plankton in the oceans, then the oxygen content of Earth would drop, affection even organisms not living in the oceans Such a change would probably lead to a mass extinction 21 THPT YEN HOA ANH 12 - ĐỀ CƯƠNG ÔN TẬP HỌC KỲ (2020 – 2021) Question 41: What is the main idea of the passage?
