Answer 1

All of the listed options can be considered extreme disturbances to an ecosystem, but the most extreme in terms of sudden and significant impact would likely be **hurricanes**. Hurricanes can cause widespread destruction to habitats, disrupt food chains, and lead to significant changes in the ecosystem in a very short period of time. However, depending on context, each option could also be seen as an extreme disturbance in specific situations.
