The mass extinction may cause the arrival of new species in the new and changing environment.

Further Explanation:

Mass extinction is the phenomenon when there is the extinction of many organisms or the group of an organism from the Earth due to change in environmental condition as it would not allow the survival of these organisms in the new environmental condition. This may cause the appearance of a new organism or the spread of mutant organisms in the prevailing environment that may play new roles. Hence new kind of ecosystem may be formed in the changing environment and those organisms that survive or get adapted to this condition may reproduce more and increase in number.

Therefore mass extinction although causes removal of some organism but may provide a new platform for the arrival of new kind of species and formation of a new ecosystem.

When there is a mass extinction, species that survive will combine gene pools. A gene pool is the sum of population of same species have the same genetic material. Those species that survived will combine for them to survive from extinction. If there is a combination of gene pool then there will be a possibility that evolution will happen

Answer:

The greatest changes to the path and strength of the Gulf Stream might be caused by an increase in the volume of river water that flows into the Gulf of Mexico (Option B)

Explanation:

The North Atlantic current or Gulf Stream carries warm water from the Gulf of Mexico forward Europe, providing a relative template clime in most of the European occident.

Ocean streams are sensitive to the amount of freshwater available on the surface. An increase in overflow and precipitation over the ocean could slow or revert the north Atlantic current, blocking warm water flow to Europe.

The deposition of freshwater could cause a temporal deceleration or total collapse of the North Atlantic Current, and this interruption might lead to very cold periods in the North Atlantic.

Where are active volcanoes located??

dedylja [7]

More volcanoes and earthquakes in places like California and Japan. For land-based volcanoes, Indonesia is the hotbed for fiery craters since it is part of the roughly 25,000 mile stretch circling the basin of the Pacific Ocean known 'ring of fire' where most active volcanoes lie.
