Question

1. describe three environmental impacts caused by the increasing number of humans on earth.

Explanation:

Population growth leads to increased resource consumption (like water, fossil fuels), which depletes natural resources. It also causes more waste generation (e.g., landfill waste, industrial waste), polluting land, water, and air. Habitat destruction for urbanization and agriculture to support a growing population reduces biodiversity as many species lose their living spaces.

Answer:

1. Resource depletion (e.g., over - use of water, fossil fuels).
2. Pollution (land, water, air from waste).
3. Habitat destruction and biodiversity loss.
