Answer:

4568

Explanation:

The latest update on the number of critically endangered species is from the year of 2014, thus five years ago. As of this year, there have been 4568 species that have been placed in this category, 2464 of which are animal species, and 2104 are plant species. In order for a species of plant or animal to be placed in this category it needs to be on the verge of dying out in the wild because it has only very small number of individuals left in the wild that can produce the new generations. Unfortunately, the number of the critically endangered species has constantly been on the rise, and in the most recent history the blame for that falls on the humans and their activities. Some species that fall into this category are the Chinese alligator, Sumatran rhinoceros, eastern gorilla, vaquita, Iberian lynx...

How does the action og wind affect a rock appearance<br>​
Leona [35]
Wind causes the lifting and transport of lighter particles from a dry soil, leaving behind a surface of coarse grained sand and rocks. The removed particles will be transported to another region where they may form sand dunes on a beach or in a desert. Wind erosion is referred to as eolian erosion. Differences in atmospheric pressure will cause the motion of air that can erode surface material when velocities are high enough to move particles.
