Question

question 1 1 pts climate change is a __________________________ disturbance that effects ecosystems gradually. mild not a moderate high intensity

Explanation:

Climate change has far - reaching and long - term impacts on ecosystems. It is not a mild or non - existent disturbance. It is a significant, long - term process that gradually affects ecosystems, which is more than a moderate disturbance. High intensity disturbances are usually sudden and short - lived, while climate change is a long - term, gradual process.

Answer:

none of the above options are entirely correct as climate change is a long - term, large - scale disturbance. But if we must choose from the given options, climate change is more than a mild or moderate disturbance and not a high intensity short - lived one, so the best option among them might be considered as not fitting neatly into these simple intensity categories. If forced to pick, none of the provided options accurately describe it, but if we had to choose one for its relative inaccuracy compared to the others, "not a" might be the least wrong in the sense that these simple intensity terms don't fully capture climate change's nature. However, this is a flawed set of options for describing climate change.
