High rates of species extinction caused by human activity have taken place at which of the following times in Earth's history?I.
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

At the end of the permian period

Explanation:

The Permian–Triassic extinction event, also known as the P–Tr extinction, and as the Great Dying, formed the boundary between the Permian and Triassic geologic periods, as well as between the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras, approximately 252 million years ago. It is the Earth's most severe known extinction event, with up to 96% of all marine species and 70% of terrestrial vertebrate species becoming extinct. It was the largest known mass extinction of insects. Some 57% of all biological families and 83% of all genera became extinct. Because so much biodiversity was lost, the recovery of land-dwelling life took significantly longer than after any other extinction event, possibly up to 10 million years. Studies in Bear Lake County, near Paris, Idaho, showed a relatively quick rebound in a localized marine ecosystem, taking around 2 million years to recover,suggesting that the impact of the extinction may have been felt less severely in some areas than others.

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

5th and 14th Amendment

Explanation:

The two amendments of the constitution that deal most directly with citizens' right to due process and law are the 5th and 14th Amendments.

This is evident in the fact that the 5th Amendment states among other things that "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury... nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;..."

Similarly, the 14th Amendment among other things states that "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law..."
