Habitat Destruction is when a habitat becomes unable of supporting its ecosystem. The creatures that previously lived in the area are left without a home or dead.For example once an earthquake happens it can create chasms or topple trees which leaves that areas species homeless or dead.

Some of the different causes of Habitat destruction are pollution, invasive species, fires, earthquakes, landslides, and avalanches. Landslides reduce easy access of the water and quality of habitat for fish and wildlife. Invasive species can change the food web in ecosystems by destroying or replacing native food sources.

Some of the most destroyed land habitats are in South America. Only cattle ranching takes more than 60 percent of deforestation in the Amazon, and farming has also caused massive destruction. Additionally, urban expansion, mining building dams, and irresponsible timber production have all led to a massive loss of forestlands.

One solution is to Make a small shelter for the wildlife around your home, Plant Some Native Plants, put out a water and food source and put out cover from the weather, You can also put a place for the native wildlife to raise their children.

The main effect of habitat destruction is a reduction in biodiversity, which refers to the variety and abundance of different species of animals and plants in a particular setting. When an animal loses the natural home or habitat that it needs to survive, its numbers decrease rapidly, and it moves toward extinction.
