Ecosystem Change

Mr. Anderson discusses how ecosystems are affected by environmental changes, focusing on human-induced climate change, geological shifts like continental drift, and meteorological phenomena such as El Nino. He explains the impact of global warming on ecosystems, including feedback loops and species extinction risks. The video also covers the historical context of continental drift and its influence on species distribution, as well as the effects of El Nino on marine life.
