This increase in extinction rate, beyond background extinction, is thought to be due to:[removed]a recent increase in earthquakes worldwide.[removed]human population growth and the resulting habitat changes worldwide.[removed]global climate change.[removed]changes in the number of solar flares observed recently.1.    On a warm summer day in August, you decide to go for a walk through a new housing development that was built near your home a few years ago. As you walk by the pond that is in the center of this development, you notice an unpleasant smell. Then, you see that the pond is full of green algae, and there are dead fish floating on the surface.
