Mass Extinction of Biodiversity from the Enchanted...

The Earth, housing over 8.5 million species and currently the only proven body in the universe to hold a biosphere, maintaining its population through constant stability cycles. When an undefined region maintains constant weather patterns annually, this is called climate. When these patterns dramatically change and new annual patterns are established the climate changes. Electricity production, the source of most modern technologies is mainly produced by the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal. The constant burning of these fuels produce greenhouse gas emissions which integrate into the atmosphere blocking heat from escaping the earth. The sun rays that penetrate the earth’s atmosphere heat the earth’s lithosphere and then radiate back towards space. With the increase of greenhouse gasses, a higher percentage of rebound from the sun rays is absorbed and trapped by the gases, causing additional heating on the earth’s surface. Biodiversity is the variation of flora and fauna on the earth or in a particular region. Climate change effects biodiversity throughout the world through unbalancing temperatures. The change effects portions of ecosystems but due to the interlinking of these systems there structure functioning will be significantly altered, leading into a knock on effect which will in turn cause more biodiversity reduction. The Biodiversity of a region requires time to adapt to prolonged temperature changes outside tolerance levels, in order to survive and if not the
