Climate protection depends in part on international cooperation, which allows countries to work together on a shared challenge. Considering economic impacts remains necessary, so cooperation does not remove that responsibility.

6. How do species extinction and biodiversity differ in their relationship to ecosystems?

Species extinction is the loss of species that threatens ecological balance, while biodiversity describes the variety of living species.
Species extinction is the variety of living species, while biodiversity describes a decline in ecological balance.
Species extinction is a shortage of raw materials, while biodiversity describes the availability of water.
Species extinction is soil pollution, while biodiversity describes the warming of global temperatures.

Species extinction is the loss of species that threatens ecological balance, while biodiversity describes the variety of living species.

Explanation

Species extinction refers to species being lost and is described as a threat to ecological balance; biodiversity refers to the variety of species. The second choice reverses these distinct meanings.
