Natural Ecosystem Change

Mr. Andersen discusses natural ecosystem changes, focusing on how climate factors like solar output, orbit, volcanoes, and plate tectonics affect ecosystems. He explains the impact of these changes on species, leading to mass extinctions and adaptive radiation. The video also covers species movement and succession processes, highlighting the role of ice cores in understanding past climate cycles.

What role does plate tectonics play in climate change?

How do species adapt to climate changes, and what is adaptive radiation?

Describe the process of succession that occurs after a lava flow.
