    in days

    Explanation:

    A short term environmental change refers to changes in the environment that happens within a short period of time, for example, flooding, drought, volcanic eruptions etc. In contrast to short term environmental change, long term environmental change takes place over a long period of time hence species have a longer time to adapt to it. Short term environmental changes may or may not be caused by humans. An example of a short term environmental change caused by humans is oil spillage. Short term environmental changes may lead to the the migration of species from the ecosystem.

    Short term environmental changes usually occur within a very short time. The greatest time frame in which a short term environmental change can occur is in a matter of days. Only longterm environmental changes span hundreds and thousands of years.
