Make a claim about the merit of a solution to a problem caused when the environment changes and the types of plants and animals that live there may change.
Clarification statement: Examples of environmental changes could include both natural and human-influenced changes in land characteristics, water distribution, temperature, food, and other organisms.
Assessment boundary: Assessment is limited to a single environmental change. Assessment does not include the greenhouse effect or climate change.
