Answer:

Human activity - Produces greenhouse gasses.

Greenhouse gasses - Cause atmosphere to trap more heat.

Sun's output - Can vary.

Ice age - Peaked 20,000 years ago.

Explanation:

Human activity includes the usage of fossil fuels on a very large scale, and by using them we release huge amounts of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere.

The greenhouse gasses have the ability to trap the heat that is reflected from the surface of the planet, thus keeping more of it in the atmosphere and causing global temperature rise.

The sun is technically a star, thus an object that produces energy and light, and like every star, it has variations in its activity in accordance with the processes going on on it.

There have been numerous ice ages through the geological past, and the last one of them ended only around 10,000 years ago, with its peak being just 20,000 years ago.

The presence of glossopteris leaves and mesosaurus on disconnected continents are strong _______ evidence for continental drift.

Fossils.

Early in the 20th century, Alfred Wegener, primarily, established the continental drift theory. According to Wegener, continents are mobile on the surface of the Earth and were previously connected to form a single supercontinent. Scientists did not think that the continents could migrate when Wegener was alive.

In rocks that are the same age but on continents that are currently far apart, ancient fossils of the same species of extinct plants and animals can be found. Wegener claimed that the species had coexisted, but that once they died and become petrified, the lands had separated. According to his theory, the creatures couldn't have crossed the seas.

1. Glossopteris seed fern fossils were too heavy for the wind to carry them that far.

2. Mesosaurus was a reptile that could swim, although it could only do it in freshwater.

3. The terrestrial reptiles Cynognathus and Lystrosaurus were incapable of swimming.

Non-Alaskan grizzly bears are indicator species for mountain ecosystems. In the nineteenth century, the grizzly bear nearly went
borishaifa [10]

Explanation:

Animal indicator list is a barometer to check how a particular ecosystem is affecting the lives of particular animals. The indicator measures  stress or behavior in the ecosystem to know whether to protect  the specie or allow them undisturbed

This is to avoid or reduce to barest minimum incidences of extinction of such specie in the ecosystem.

The grizzly sudden reduction in number from well over 100,000 in California to less than nothing in 1942 triggered  the need to protect the grizzlies from human destruction and possible extinction. Grizzlies was a national specie and appeared in the flag of California. The population gradually reduced in most of the states of Idaho, Utah, Alaska and many more.

The grizzlies in 1975 were declared protected species to avoid being hunted or trapped by humans and to repopulate them in the areas where they once lived. Their future will depend largely on humans ability to allow them to coexist with them, by setting out a large area for them to live and regroup.

This will go to balance the ecosystem which has been tampered or disturbed by development.
