Question

Three hypotheses—ecocide, rat outbreak, and climate change—are candidates as explanations of why the society of Easter Island collapsed. Explain each hypothesis, present at least one piece of evidence for each one, and state a lesson that each hypothesis contains for the world today. For each hypothesis, write one paragraph of at least four lines

Answer 1

In the ecocide hypothesis, humans used the resources irresponsibly and caused deforestation.

How is the hypothesis depicted

Humans used the logs from the trees to transport the big statues and people also used the trees to build a shelter. In the ecocide hypothesis, the resources were used irresponsibly.

In the rat outbreak, rats were introduced to the environment and fed on the trees. In this case, the trees had bite marks on the bottom of the tree and this wasn’t an intentional introduction.

For climate change, as the climate changed, lakes were separated from the main body of water.
