Explain why a changing environment can lead to extinction of a species.

A quick change in environment can cause the extinction of a species because the animal in question may not be able to adapt fast enough. For example, urbanization can cause an animal species may go extinct because of the sudden change.

If there is a slow change in environment, the animal in question may go extinct because of lack of resources. If it is a predator, its prey may migrate. Therefore, it will starve.
