Question

matching
1
when a single species dies out
2
when many different species die out in a short period of time
3
when a species is in danger of becoming extinct
4
when a species is in danger of becoming extinct
5
a species that is found only in one part of the world
6
when a species is in danger of becoming endangered
options: threatened species, mass extinction, extinction, endangered species, endemic species

Explanation:

To solve this matching problem, we analyze each term and its definition:

1. "when a single species dies out"

This is the definition of extinction (the complete loss of a single species).

2. "when many different species die out in a short period of time"

This describes a mass extinction (a rapid, widespread loss of multiple species).

3. "when a species is in danger of becoming extinct"

This matches endangered species (species at risk of extinction).

4. "a species that is found only in one part of the world"

This is the definition of an endemic species (species native to a specific, limited geographic area).

5. "when a species is in danger of becoming endangered"

This corresponds to threatened species (species at risk of moving into the endangered category).

Final Matches:

1. when a single species dies out → extinction
2. when many different species die out in a short period of time → mass extinction
3. when a species is in danger of becoming extinct → endangered species
4. a species that is found only in one part of the world → endemic species
5. when a species is in danger of becoming endangered → threatened species
