Exotic species, also known as invasive or non-native species often cause _______ when introduced to new environments.

• Correct Answer: extinction
• harmony
• radicalization
• confusion

Explanation: One of the main causes of extinction is introduction of exotic species into an environment. These exotic and new species can also be called invasive species or non-native species . These non-native species, being new to an area, may not have natural predators in the new habitat, which allows their populations to easily adapt and grow. Invasive species out-compete the native species for resources. Sometimes invasive species are so successful at living in a certain habitat that the native species go extinct ( Figure below ).
