Answer- The above question is from the chapter 'Natural Environment'.
Given question: List some environmental issues.
Answer: Some of the environmental issues are as follows:-
1. DEFORESTATION- Cutting down of trees and forests excessively for meeting human needs is called deforestation.
This leads to destruction of homes of wild animals and pollution.
2. SOIL EROSION- Washing away of top soil by wind or water is called soil erosion.
It is a consequence of deforestation as the soil is unable to settle down due to lack of firm roots of trees.
3. GLOBAL WARMING- Rising up of temperatures of atmosphere and depletion of ozone layer due to greenhouse gases being released is called global warming.
This results in rise in sea levels, floods, droughts, etc.
4. OVER-GRAZING- Over-grazing of grasslands by the animals is a serious environmental issue.
5. POLLUTION- Contamination of the environment by introducing pollutants and impurities is called pollution.
There are various types of pollution:
(a) Air Pollution
