Question

what is the effect of the growth of population on the biosphere​

Answer 1

Answer:

As populations soar, the first impact to the biosphere tends to be expansion of agriculture to feed a growing population. This changes the natural biomes to human biomes such as rangeland for cattle, agriculture for growing food crops.

Answer 2

Answer:

EFFECT OF GROWTH OF POPULATION ON THE BIOSPHERE :

1. Increasing population growth is leading to over-extraction of water from lakes, rivers and aquifers for washing, irrigation and drinking. The biosphere is affected because plants and animals do not have enough water to survive.

2. As populations become more affluent, there is a greater demand for natural renewable and non-renewable resources.

3. Due to unchecked growth of popu­lation in rural areas, total demand for food is in­creasing.

4. Popu­lation growth obviously implies an increase in the size of the labour force.

5. Rapid growth of population and inelasticity of supply of land have created the problem of disguised unemployment.
