Question

the graph below compares predicted percent extinctions to air temperature on earth. predicted extinction vs. temperature percent extinction pre - industrial temperature rise (c) which of the following claims is supported by the graph? a small increase in temperature can increase the percentage of extinctions on earth. a five - degree difference in temperature can decrease the percentage of extinctions. only significant temperature increases can change the percentage of extinctions. enhanced global warming is having less effect on extinctions than predicted.

Explanation:

The graph shows a positive - sloped relationship between pre - industrial temperature rise and predicted percent extinctions. As temperature rises, the percentage of extinctions also rises, indicating that even small temperature increases can lead to an increase in extinctions.

Answer:

A. A small increase in temperature can increase the percentage of extinctions on Earth.
