Harbour is extremely high and strict protection of these hotspots could reduce the ongoing mass extinctions by almost 30 per cent.
Adjacent to a frequently-asked paragraph in the same chapter.
Arrange the following aspects of biodiversity loss in the correct sequence : 1. Accelerated extinction of species due to human activities 2. Documentation of extinctions in the IUCN Red List 3. Recognition of the ongoing “Sixth Extinction” 4. Identification of four major causes, called the “Evil Quartet” 5. Historical evidence of five previous mass extinctions from fossil records
Correct answer: D — 5 → 2 → 1 → 4 → 3
NCERT first mentions that fossil history shows five episodes of mass extinctions. Then it highlights IUCN Red List documentation of species extinctions. After this, it explains accelerated extinctions caused by humans. Next, it describes the four major causes called the “Evil Quartet.” Finally, it distinguishes the ongoing “Sixth Extinction” from earlier ones, emphasising its human-driven rate.
