Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: Emptying an aquarium containing non-native species into a local waterway. Emptying an aquarium containing non-native species into a local waterway will most likely to cause the greatest disruption to an ecosystem.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sudden disruptions such as volcanoes, floods, or fires can affect which species will thrive in an environment. Other disruptions are caused by human activities. Some disruptions can be devastating for an individual species and may even cause an entire species to permanently disappear in a process called extinction.
Detailed explanation-3: -For example, ecological fragmentation is a threat because it often alters natural hydrological flows and harms certain populations of species. Frequent sources of ecological disruption include incompatible logging and residential development.
