Answer 1

Answer:

China is facing a lot of environmental problems currently due to a variety of factors. The environmental challenge faces from water is, that it contains a lot of toxic materials and is therefore unfit for domestic usage and drinking purpose. Also the groundwater level is slowly falling causing water shortage.

Land has posed severe environmental challenges on China as there is not only a shortage of land but also natural resources, forests are being depleted that is seriously harmful for the ecosystems co-existing peacefully.

The greenhouse gases are slowly increasing the temperatures thus disturbing the heat balance and are partly responsible for global warming and several health issues.

Population overgrowth is the major problem. It has not only caused all types of pollution like land, water and air pollution but has also caused scarcity of resources and a huge destruction to the habitats of the flora and fauna.
