Detailed explanation-1: -If organisms cannot adapt to the changes in their environment, they may move to another location. If they will not move, the species may become threatened, or extinct.
Detailed explanation-2: -Populations that fail to adapt fast enough eventually decline to extinction.
Detailed explanation-3: -This happens by the process of natural selection. By natural selection, the nature of the species gradually changes to become adapted to the niche. If a species becomes very well adapted to its environment, and if the environment does not change, species can exist for a very long time before they become extinct.
Detailed explanation-4: -Living things can survive only where their needs are met. If some places are too hot or too cold or have too little water or food, plants and animals may not be able to live there. Particular organisms can only survive in particular environments.
