tornado

Answer 1

Among the options listed, the environmental change that occurs most rapidly is a **tornado**. Tornadoes form quickly and can cause immediate, dramatic changes to the landscape in a very short period of time.

In contrast, forest succession and decomposition are processes that happen over longer periods. Human population growth can also happen relatively quickly, but not as instantaneously as the occurrence of a tornado.
