Answer:

The largest mass extinction ever recorded on earth was that which occurred at the end of the end of the Permian period.

Explanation:

The largest mass extinction of species ever recorded on Earth, which occurred 252 million years ago and eliminated 96% of marine fauna, occurred at the end of the Permian period and was the result of global warming and left the animals of the oceans without sufficient oxygen to survive.

The lack of oxygen caused by global warming explains more than half of the loss of marine diversity in this late Permian mass extinction and other factors, such as acidification or changes in the productivity of photosynthetic organisms, acted as additional causes, according to these scientists.

The situation at the end of the Permian, when the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere generated higher temperatures on Earth, is similar to the current one.

What two obstacles do less developed countries face? How do they approach development?
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

<em>Developing countries two major issues, of low incomes and eventually lower tax collections.</em>

Explanation:

Obstacle 1: Developing countries usually have a population with a low income. There are a lot of poor people, very few businesses are documented and there are very few well established larger corporations.

Obstacle 2: Lower income results in a low tax collection for the country. This means that the government is not able to meet its basic infrastructure resulting in underdeveloped health facilities and basic infrastructure.

In order to improve this, they look for either foreign direct investment into their country or take out loans from international banks to fund basic needs.

If done well, countries can escape from poverty. However if loans are mismanaged, countries can quickly find themselves burdened with rising debt and more poverty.
