Question

A large hurricane moves through a small island in the Caribbean. What are the consequences to this island's plant and animal diversity?

Answer 1

The correct answer would be The island will suffer a loss of native plant and animal species

Natural calamities like hurricane, tornado, earthquake et cetera cause loss of habitat, mass species mortality, and spread of invasive species in the region of their occurrence.

These factors reduce the biodiversity of the area that is, they reduce the variety of plants and animals living in that particular area.

However, the survived populations of animals and plants grow again with time and help in re-establishment of the similar ecosystem in the area.
