Answer:

Biodiversity hotspot

Explanation:

The biodiversity hotspots are the biogeographic regions that have lost about 70% of the habitat or primary vegetation and the region is rich with 1500 species of plants not found anywhere in the world except that area. These species are called endemic species.

The biodiversity hotspots are the regions that require the attention of the Conservation ministry as these areas are continuously threatened due to loss of population, pollution, destruction of the area and many other factors that have destroyed the forest area.

Thus, Biodiversity hotspot is correct.

Give three instantaneous scale (time) examples of Earth's systems, two long-term scale (time) examples of Earth's sytems, and th
Goshia [24]

The Earth comprises many spheres of subsystems, which associate with each other to develop a composite and spontaneously changing system of the Earth. The processes taking place in the system of the Earth occurs on spatial scales changing from fractions of millimeters to thousands of kilometers, and on time scales, which varies from milliseconds to billions of years.  

The examples of instantaneous scales are a rotation of the Earth, breathing, an earthquake.  

The examples of long-term scales are making coal and plate tectonics.  

The system of the Earth is featured by various overlapping cycles in which matter is recycled again and again. The cycles involve interactions between multiple spheres and systems. The examples of cycles are rock cycle, day and night, and seasons.  

Volcanoes discharge a huge concentration of particulate matter into the atmosphere. These particles function as nuclei for the development of droplets of water (hydrosphere). The rainfall, that is, hydrosphere usually upsurges after an eruption, initiating growth of the plant (biosphere). Thus, volcanoes and volcanic activities are a good illustration of system interactions.
