It is a powerpoint presentation that discusses about the lesson or topic: Natural Causes of Extinctions. It also talks about the definition, characteristics and the concepts about the Natural Causes of Extinctions.
This document discusses the natural causes of extinction and characteristics of species vulnerable to extinction. It identifies seven natural causes: 1) genetics and demographics, 2) uncontrolled predation, 3) coextinction, 4) mass extinction, 5) climatic heating and cooling, 6) change in sea levels, and 7) acid rain. It also lists six characteristics of species vulnerable to extinction, including large species with low reproduction, species with high economic value, species at the end of long food chains, species restricted to local habitats, highly specialized species, and migratory species.
Causes of Species Extinction
There are several threats that can lead to species extinction, including habitat destruction, pollution, overharvesting, and human overpopulation. Deforestation due to kaingin farming and illegal logging destroys wildlife habitats in the Philippines. Water pollution from garbage, factories, and agricultural runoff causes eutrophication and fish kills. Air pollution from vehicle emissions produces smog and acid rain. Coastal destruction from activities like mining, fishing, and development damages coral reefs and mangrove forests. Climate change from greenhouse gas emissions raises global temperatures and endangers many species. Conservation efforts are needed to achieve sustainable development and protect biodiversity.
This document discusses mass extinction events that have occurred throughout history. It provides details on 5 major extinction events, including their timing in millions of years ago and potential causes such as asteroid impacts, volcanic activity, climate change from glaciation or warming. The document also discusses various factors that can lead to species extinction, including climate change, changes in sea levels/currents, asteroids/cosmic radiation, acid rain, disease, invasive species, habitat loss, pollution, and human population growth.
This document provides evidence for evolution from 5 areas of scientific study: the fossil record, comparative anatomy, comparative embryology, molecular biology, and biogeography. Each area is summarized briefly: the fossil record shows transitional forms; comparative anatomy examines homologous, analogous, and vestigial structures; comparative embryology shows similarities in development of related species; molecular biology compares DNA/protein sequences; and biogeography looks at species distribution and examples of divergent and convergent evolution.
The document discusses four main categories of evidence for evolution: the fossil record, biochemical evidence, comparative anatomy, and observable events. It describes examples for each category, such as fossils showing gradual changes over time, similarities in genetic codes and proteins between organisms, homologous and vestigial structures, and studies observing evolutionary changes like beak size shifts in Darwin's finches. Overall, the document outlines the key types of evidence that support the theory of evolution through natural selection.
The seminar covered the topics of species extinction including defining extinction, estimating the number of species on Earth, the rates of species loss, the timing and causes of extinctions. Natural causes include climate change, changes in sea levels or currents, asteroids, and disease. Human causes were identified as climate change, increased human population, habitat destruction and fragmentation, and trade in endangered species. Facts presented included that over 16,000 species are threatened and the current extinction rate is estimated to be 1,000 to 10,000 times higher than the natural background rate. Some easy actions people can take to help endangered species were also outlined.
Biodiversity loss and species extinction can occur through natural causes or human disruption of the environment. Natural causes include evolution, asteroid impacts, volcanic eruptions, and plate tectonics, which can destroy habitats. Human disruption involves activities like habitat destruction, climate change, overhunting, pollution, and warfare, which have accelerated species extinction, especially in the Pleistocene and Holocene epochs as human populations and impacts expanded. Conservation efforts aim to protect vulnerable and endangered species from extinction.
Human activities such as increased population, habitat destruction, pollution, and climate change are reducing biodiversity and causing species extinction. Habitat fragmentation and introducing foreign species that outcompete native species also negatively impact biodiversity. Specific human factors driving biodiversity decline mentioned in the document include deforestation in the Philippines, bottom trawling fishing techniques that damage ocean habitats, and pesticide pollution affecting predatory bird populations.

This document discusses the causes of species extinction, including deforestation, pollution, habitat destruction, and overpopulation. It defines key terms like biodiversity, extinction, and species. Several human activities are highlighted as contributing to extinction, such as illegal logging, kaingin farming, water pollution from domestic waste and factories, air pollution from vehicles, and destruction of coastal ecosystems through dynamite fishing and development. The greenhouse effect and climate change are also discussed as global issues exacerbating extinction. In summary, the document outlines the biological concepts of extinction and biodiversity before examining various human-caused threats driving increased species loss.
This document discusses biodiversity and population ecology. It defines biodiversity as the variety of life forms in an ecosystem. Organisms have economic, ecological, and aesthetic value. They are important for ecosystem balance and provide goods like food, medicine, clothing, and energy. The document also discusses population size, birth and death rates, carrying capacity, and factors that influence populations like resources, natural disasters, competition, predation, and diseases. It notes that the Philippines has high biodiversity but it is threatened by habitat loss and overexploitation of resources.
This document summarizes key concepts about ecosystems and photosynthesis. It discusses how organisms depend on each other in an ecosystem, with plants playing a key role as producers. It then focuses on how plants produce food through the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis requires chlorophyll, light, carbon dioxide, water, and nutrients. It occurs in two stages - the light-dependent reaction in the thylakoid membrane that converts light to chemical energy, and the light-independent Calvin cycle that fixes carbon dioxide into sugars. Stomata on plant leaves allow for gas exchange of carbon dioxide intake and oxygen release to power photosynthesis, while also enabling water loss through transpiration.
Alfred Wegener first proposed the theory of continental drift in the early 20th century. He noticed that the continents appeared to fit together and were once attached in a supercontinent called Pangaea. Wegener provided evidence from matching coastlines, fossil and rock formations, and paleoclimatic data to support his theory. However, he was unable to explain the mechanism of continental drift. Most geologists at the time rejected his theory due to the lack of a clear explanation for how and why the continents would move. It was not until the 1950s when the theory of plate tectonics was developed that Wegener's concept of continental drift became widely accepted.
1. Species diversity refers to the number and variety of species in a given region. It takes into account both the number of species and how evenly abundant they are.
2. There are three main types of species: endemic, exotic, and cosmopolitan. Endemic species are restricted to a particular area while exotic species have been transported by humans.
3. Factors that affect species diversity include speciation, extinction, migration, habitat destruction, and the introduction of invasive species. Speciation occurs through geographic isolation or reductions in gene flow. Extinction can be caused by overharvesting, pollution, and habitat loss.
This document discusses different types of species diversity. It defines species as a group that can mate and produce fertile offspring. Species diversity refers to the number and variety of life forms in an area. There are generalist species that can live in many environments and eat many foods, and specialist species that live in narrow niches and are more vulnerable to extinction. Native species evolved in a particular area, while nonnative species were introduced. Indicator species signal ecosystem damage, and keystone species have large impacts on environments despite small populations. Foundation species help create and reshape habitats for other organisms.
This slide presentation aims to help teachers and students in studying biodiversity and evolution. It consists of images, definition of terms all related to biodiversity and evolution.
The document provides evidence for evolution from the fossil record, geology, comparative anatomy, biogeography, embryology, and biochemistry. It discusses how fossils are formed through various processes like compression and petrification. Dating methods like relative dating examine rock layers while radiometric dating uses radioactive isotopes to determine absolute ages. Comparisons of homologous and analogous structures in organisms support common descent. Similarities in embryonic development and DNA across species also provide evidence that organisms share a common ancestry.
This document discusses biodiversity and ecosystems. It explains that species diversity increases adaptation and survival during environmental changes. Population growth follows a logistic curve as it approaches the carrying capacity of the environment. Maintaining biodiversity provides direct economic, indirect economic, and aesthetic value. It also contributes to ecosystem stability by increasing resilience to environmental changes.
This document discusses momentum and its relationship to mass and velocity. It defines momentum as being directly proportional to mass and velocity, and that it is a measure of an object's resistance to stopping. Greater momentum can be achieved by increasing mass or velocity. Impulse is defined as being equal to force multiplied by time, and that it is equal to the change in momentum of an object. The principle of conservation of momentum is explained, which is that the total momentum of an isolated system remains constant if no external forces act on it.
This document discusses interactions between living things within ecosystems. It describes the five levels of organization within ecosystems from largest to smallest as biome, ecosystem, community, population, and organism. Patterns exist in populations related to living space and time. Population sizes change over time due to factors like predator-prey relationships, birth and death rates, limiting factors, and carrying capacity. Organisms interact through predation, competition, cooperation, and symbiosis. Ecosystems also change over time through ecological succession as one community replaces another.
Fossils provide evidence about past life and environments. A fossil forms when a once-living organism becomes buried and its remains or imprint gradually turn to stone. Fossils reveal that evolution has occurred over time and show how Earth's surface has changed. There are several types of fossils including petrified remains, molds and casts, carbon films, trace fossils, and preserved remains, each indicating something about ancient organisms and environments. Fossils help scientists understand life and conditions from long ago.
Artificial selection is when humans purposefully apply selection pressures to populations to intentionally reproduce individuals with desirable traits. Through selective breeding over multiple generations, artificial selection can change a population so certain traits become fixed. For example, farmers have used artificial selection to develop corn from teosinte and cattle breeds like Guernsey cattle and Chillingham White cows that have specific desirable traits.

The document defines and provides examples of different types of symbiotic relationships:
- Commensalism is a relationship where one organism benefits without affecting the other, like barnacles on a whale.
- Mutualism benefits both organisms, such as birds eating pests off a rhino's back.
- Parasitism benefits one organism while harming the other, for example ticks on a dog.
The document discusses five major mass extinction events in Earth's history:
1) The Ordovician mass extinction occurred 440 million years ago and was likely caused by global cooling and reduced sea levels.
2) The Devonian mass extinction 350 million years ago caused the extinction of many tropical marine species and was due to changes in sea level and ocean anoxia.
3) The Permian-Triassic mass extinction 250 million years ago was the largest mass extinction ever and was caused by acid rain following massive volcanic gas release.
4) The Triassic-Jurassic mass extinction 210 million years ago allowed dinosaurs to flourish after other vertebrates went extinct, caused by climate change and rising sea levels from carbon dioxide
The document discusses the four spheres of the Earth - atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere. It then describes the layers that make up Earth's interior - crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. The rest of the document discusses plate tectonic theory, the three types of plate boundaries and movements (divergent, convergent, transform), associated volcanic and earthquake activity, and the impacts of earthquakes and volcanoes.
The geological time scale records 4.6 billion years of Earth's history divided into eras, periods, and epochs based on studying rock layers and fossils. It begins with the Precambrian era which covers 88% of Earth's history. The timescale includes the Paleozoic era of ancient life dominated by invertebrates like trilobites; the Mesozoic era of middle life dominated by dinosaurs and the breakup of Pangaea; and the ongoing Cenozoic era of recent life dominated by mammals including the evolution of humans.
This document discusses factors that affect climate and weather patterns in the Philippines. It explains that climate is the average weather over time and is influenced by latitude, altitude, proximity to bodies of water, ocean currents, and topography. Temperature and rainfall are most affected by latitude, with equatorial regions experiencing higher temperatures and rainfall. Altitude, land/water distribution, winds, and monsoon patterns also impact regional climates. The Philippines experiences two pronounced monsoon seasons - the northeast monsoon from December to January and the southwest monsoon from July to September.

This document discusses user interface design considerations for managing services and trusted third parties (TTPs) on a platform called Care Opinion. It suggests displaying a listing of all services and TTPs that allows clicking through to their individual pages. It also questions whether the platform should allow changing subscriber status or removing services directly from this page. Finally, it notes the need for actions like Save and Export to be available when checkboxes are selected.
The new MongoDB aggregation framework provides a more powerful and performant way to perform data aggregation compared to the existing MapReduce functionality. The aggregation framework uses a pipeline of aggregation operations like $match, $project, $group and $unwind. It allows expressing data aggregation logic through a declarative pipeline in a more intuitive way without needing to write JavaScript code. This provides better performance than MapReduce as it is implemented in C++ rather than JavaScript.
The map of natural global catastrophic risksavturchin
This document outlines numerous natural and hypothetical global catastrophic risks to humanity, including:
1. Atmospheric composition changes like loss of oxygen or release of toxic gases from volcanism, methane hydrates, or dissolved gases in the oceans.
2. Pandemics from viruses, fungi, or other pathogens.
3. Large asteroid or comet impacts that could cause widespread destruction and climate changes.
4. Supervolcanic eruptions that could lead to volcanic winters and changes in atmospheric gases and climate.
5. Hypothetical risks like collisions with objects from other universes, residual dark energy converting to matter and restarting the Big Bang, or primordial black holes evaporating and causing
The document discusses the Cretaceous-Tertiary (K-T) extinction event that occurred 65 million years ago. It notes that this was a mass extinction where over 50% of all species died, including non-flying dinosaurs, many marine invertebrates, flying pterosaurs, mosasaurs, and plesiosaurs. The main proposed cause is the Chicxulub impact crater, evidence for which includes the rare metal iridium and shocked quartz found in K-T boundary layers worldwide. The impact would have released huge amounts of energy, darkened skies for years with dust and ash, and caused global climate changes that disrupted ecosystems.
Mass extinctions have occurred throughout the Phanerozoic era over the past 542 million years where a significant proportion (30-95%) of species went extinct. There have been 5 major mass extinctions identified, including the end-Ordovician, Late Devonian, end-Permian, end-Triassic, and end-Cretaceous extinctions. Potential causes of mass extinctions include supercontinent formation, extra-terrestrial impacts, flood basalt eruptions, methane hydrate releases, and rapid glaciation events. Compelling evidence indicates that the end-Cretaceous extinction 65 million years ago, which wiped out the dinosaurs, was caused by the impact of a large 10km
The document discusses major threats to biodiversity including climate change, loss of biodiversity, habitat destruction, and deforestation. It provides details on climate change such as increasing global temperatures and greenhouse gases since the industrial revolution. Effects of climate change include warming oceans, rising sea levels, more wildfires, and millions of species at risk of extinction. Loss of biodiversity is discussed in the context of overfishing reducing populations of species like cod, whales, and tuna. Deforestation is outlined as the clearing of forests for agriculture, grazing, fuel, and construction, which releases carbon dioxide and removes trees that absorb carbon.

The document discusses the tropical rainforest biome and the impacts of climate change. It defines tropical rainforests as having very high rainfall, high temperatures, and high biodiversity. Tropical rainforests play an important role in regulating the global climate through carbon storage, oxygen production, and influencing weather patterns. Climate change poses threats to tropical rainforests like rising sea levels which can flood coastal forests, and droughts which make forests more vulnerable to fires. The loss of tropical rainforests exacerbates climate change due to reduced carbon storage capacity.
A supervolcano eruption would have devastating global consequences. Supervolcanoes erupt over 1,000 km3 of material, compared to only 1 km3 for large composite volcanoes. They form calderas instead of cones and erupt less frequently but more powerfully. Example is Yellowstone, which last erupted over 600,000 years ago. A Yellowstone eruption would blast ash globally, blocking the sun and cooling the climate while contaminating water and destroying crops worldwide.

Climate change is having several negative effects globally and locally. Rising temperatures are reducing crop yields in equatorial regions like Tanzania and Mozambique. India could lose 50% of its agricultural land due to desertification. Sea levels have risen 3.3mm between 1993-2006 and are projected to rise 88cm by 2100, putting low-lying coastal cities like London at risk of flooding. Retreating glaciers due to higher temperatures could disrupt ocean currents and lower temperatures in northern Europe. Locally in the UK, sea level rise threatens coastal areas and an example is London. Other countries facing impacts include Pacific islands like the Maldives already dealing with higher sea levels.
This document discusses global warming and its impacts on Pakistan. It first provides background on greenhouse gases and how they contribute to global warming by trapping heat in the atmosphere. It then discusses how Pakistan has experienced impacts from climate change, including severe monsoon flooding in 2010 that displaced millions of people, melting glaciers that will lead to water shortages and drought, and rising sea levels that threaten coastal areas. The document concludes that Pakistan is highly vulnerable to climate change impacts and is rated among the countries most at risk by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Fold mountains form along convergent plate boundaries where rock layers are compressed and fold upwards. Major fold mountains include the Rocky Mountains, Himalayas, and Alps. Rift valleys form along divergent boundaries as the plates pull apart, causing the land between them to drop down. Block mountains occur when sections of crust are pulled apart, leaving blocks behind with steep sides. Volcanoes form at divergent and convergent boundaries, with magma building shield volcanoes with gentle slopes or composite volcanoes with layered eruptions. Earthquakes occur along fault lines as tectonic plates slip past each other, potentially causing damage over large areas through shaking, tsunamis, fires, landslides and infrastructure disruption.

Minerals are naturally occurring chemical compounds that form in pure crystalline structures within the Earth. They originate as igneous rocks cool and crystallize below the Earth's surface. Minerals have distinct chemical compositions and properties including color, streak, luster, hardness, cleavage, diaphaneity, and magnetism. These properties are determined by a mineral's composition and crystalline structure. Color, for example, is usually caused by electromagnetic radiation interacting with a mineral's electrons. Hardness refers to a mineral's resistance to scratching and is measured using the Mohs scale. Cleavage describes a mineral's tendency to break along planes of weaker atomic bonding.
