Explain two negative impact that human have on the environment
Answers
Explanation:
Humans impact the physical environment in many ways: overpopulation, pollution, burning fossil fuels, and deforestation. Changes like these have triggered climate change, soil erosion, poor air quality, and undrinkable water.
Human impact on the environment includes changes to biophysical environments and ecosystems, biodiversity, and natural resources caused directly or indirectly by humans, including global warming, environmental degradation (such as ocean acidification), mass extinction and biodiversity loss, ecological crisis, and ecological collapse.
Negative impact that human have on the environment :
1. Pollution
As a result of development and industrialization, humans pollute the environment massively. Marine habitats worldwide are being affected by land-based activities such as the release of sewage and contaminants into oceans, agricultural runoff and dumping of plastic trash.
2. Global warming
The worst negative impact of humans on the environment is global warming. Due to an excessive release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere since the industrial revolution, the planet has been slowly warming up. To add to this, deforestation has also been occurring during the same time period to make way for development, thus leaving the most potent greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide to roam freely in the air instead of being taken up by trees.
3. Technology
Though technology is making the lives of humans easier and comfortable. It poses a great threat to the environment. The threat is due to pollution, radiation hazards, the exploitation of natural resources, etc.
The radiation hazard is increasing day by day due to the use of mobile phones and Wi-Fi around us. Hence we can notice that many small birds and insects like honey bees are not found around these days. Wi-Fi reduces the use of wired internet connectivity. Still, wi-fi has untoward effects on humans and environments.
