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: -Change in an organism’s environment forces the organism to adapt to fit the new environment, eventually causing it to evolve into a new species.
Detailed explanation-3: -Animals can react to climate change in only three ways: They can move, adapt or die. Many animals are moving to higher elevations and latitudes to escape warming temperatures, but climate change may be happening too quickly for most species to outrun it.
Detailed explanation-4: -If it changes very rapidly selection may be inadequate to restore adaptation quickly enough, and the population will dwindle and eventually become extinct.
