What occurs during periods of adaptive radiation?

a.) many species become extinct.
b.) populations migrate.
c.) species evolve rapidly.
d.) geographical ranges increase.

The correct answer is option C, species evolve rapidly

Reason -

In adaptive radiation, the ancestral species diversifies at a fast rate and results into new species which have resulted due to changing climatic and environmental conditions. For example the mammals, reptiles, birds etc. all evolved from the dinosaurs after their extinction. The major impacts of adaptive radiation can be visualized when an organism moves to a new area and therefore transforms to survive.

explanation:

plate tectonics and volcanic euptions

over time, plate tectonic processes cause continents to move to different positions on the globe.

for example, britain was near to the equator 300 million years ago, and therefore was hotter than it is today. for further details look at our climate through time poster or online map.

the movement of the plates also causes volcanoes and mountains to form and these too can contribute to a change in climate.

mountain ranges formed by plate tectonics. large mountain chains can influence the circulation of air around the globe, and consequently influence the climate.   warm air might be deflected somewhere cooler by the mountains.
