Question
Explain extinction of animals with examples.
✓
Answer
Extinction of animals is due to two major factors:
$-$If some disturbances occur in their natural habitat due to which their survival is affected.
$-$Killing of the animals by human for several reasons.
We had observed that Dinosaurs get extinct many years ago due to the changes in their natural habitat. Due to the changes in their habitat they were not able to survive.
But if we have a look on the entire wildlife we will found that smaller animals have more threat of extinction as compared to bigger animals. These small animals include snakes, lizards, frogs, insects, owls and many more. They are more threatened as compared to large animals because they are more extensively killed by the humans without giving a second thought. We never thought of their role, results of their extinction and kill them.
Whereas killing of large animals is not as frequent as small animals so they are a bit safe.

The substance $W$ is a fossil fuel. It occurs deep below the ground in certain areas of the earth. Another fossil fuel $X$ is found trapped above the deposits of $W$. When $W$ is subjected to a process called $Y$, then a number of different products are collected at different temperature ranges which are put to different uses. A special grade of product $Z$ obtained in this way is used as aviation fuel in jet aeroplanes.
