Question

What are the causes of plants and animals becoming extinct?

Answer 1

The causes of plants and animals becoming extinct are as follows:

• Deforestation leads to the massive destruction of habitat, which causes the death of plants and animals.
• Excessive killing of animals for their flesh, skin, etc., is also responsible for the reduction in their number.
• Overgrazing poses a threat to plant species.
• Poisoning of soil poses threat to both animal and plant species.
• Introduction of a new species in a habitat can cause problems to the existence of the native species.
