Question

What are the effects of Speciation & Extinction on biodiversity​

Answer 1

Answer:

Specitation increases biodiversity, while extinctions decrease biodiversity.

Explanation:

Biodiversity is the variety of life on Earth or some specified geographic area of the planet; the diversity of life occurs at the genetic level, at the species level, at the ecosystem level, and in evolutionary lineages.

Answer 2

Answer:

The same factors that increase the risk of species extinctions also reduce the chance that new species are formed. We often see alarming reports about the global biodiversity crisis through the extinction of species. The reasons why species become extinct is much discussed, particularly the consequences of human activities. Less often discussed is how environmental changes affect the chances that new species are formed.
