I WONDER - Does Climate Change Impact Habitats? Me Pregunto - El Cambio Climático Impacta Los Hábitats?

Climate change and human activities are severely impacting animal and plant habitats. Natural disasters like floods and forest fires contribute to habitat destruction, forcing animals to adapt to new environments where many fail to survive, leading to population decline and potential extinction. Human actions, including burning fossil fuels, overhunting, and deforestation, further exacerbate habitat loss, affecting both plants and animals.

What are two major natural causes of habitat destruction mentioned in the video?

• Earthquakes and tsunamis

• Droughts and hurricanes

• Floods and forest fires

• Volcanic eruptions and landslides

What happens to animals when their habitat is destroyed?

• They are forced to adapt to new habitats

• They thrive in the new environment

• They immediately become extinct

• They migrate to urban areas

What is a potential consequence of animals failing to adapt to new habitats?

• Population growth

• Increase in biodiversity

• Population decline and extinction

• Improved survival rates

Which human activity is NOT mentioned as having a negative impact on habitats?

• Burning fossil fuels

• Overhunting

• Deforestation

• Recycling

How do human activities affect the habitats of plants and animals?

• They create new habitats

• They negatively impact habitats

• They have no impact

• They improve the quality of habitats
