hey mate here's ur ans:
Population growth has had a negative impact on the quality of the environment. As more land is used for agriculture or living purposes, the environment changes drastically. As the population of humans grows in certain cities or rural areas, more resources must be used to maintain the well-being of the population. With the increasing pressure on available resources, many habitats are being destroyed. Humans are using up more resources and the amount and nature can’t replenish those resources fast enough to supply our needs. The atmosphere is also negatively impacted by population growth.
As the population increases, there is an increase in the amount of pressure put on the agricultural sector. Farming is a major human activity that has transformed the land masses and it has become a direct route in which humans have affected the environment. In many countries, the need for food is so great that natural habitats are destroyed and transform into agricultural lands. This leads to extreme deforestation in many countries. For example, most of the forest that originally covered Europe in 900 AD are almost gone by the 1900s (Preston). They have become agricultural fields and pastures to feed Europe’s growing population. This doesn’t only happen in Europe, but on every continent on Earth. Humans have also cut down trees to access timber so they can build infrastructure and other materials. Additionally, another problem that arises with the destruction of these forests is that they are the ones who use carbon dioxide for photosynthesis and release oxygen as a byproduct. Many people have said that the forests around the world act as the lungs of the world. Without them, the carbon dioxide levels will rise and this will lead to other environmental complications that could end up being irreversible.
Global warming is the result ofincreasing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations which is causedprimarily by the combustion of fossil energy sources such as petroleum, coal, and natural gas, and to an unknown extent by destruction offorests, increased methane, volcanic activity and cement production.
