Climate change is significantly affecting species, populations, and ecosystems in the United States. Changes include alterations in the characteristics of organisms, shifts in biological event timing, and disruptions in geographic ranges. These impacts can lead to extinctions when species can't adap

The Ordovician period was marked by significant events such as the average temperature and atmospheric CO2 levels, the emergence of diverse life forms, glacial events leading to mass extinctions, and the survival of the fittest in evolving environments. Primitive reefs, major evolutionary radiation
