Question

What are some of the benefits humans receive from altering their environment? Write your answer in a paragraph of at least five sentences.

Answer 1

Answer:

Humans alter their environment in many ways. We burn fossil fuels to produce electricity and to power cars, airplanes, and much more. We also remove land to build businesses, homes, and stores, and to grow food. We cut down forests to make things like paper, desks, and houses, and we hunt or raise animals for food. And lastly, we divert rivers to store water in reservoirs and to irrigate farmland.

Answer 2

There are a lot of ways that we can change our planet, so that we can live. We eat plants and animals, and we drink water to keep us alive. We use resources like coal, wind, and the material to collect energy to make energy for cars, homes, and other things that we live with. We alter bodies of water, like rivers, so we can drink, and store water so we can clean it later. We both harm and benefit our planet.
