The environment on earth is suffering from the growth of global population. The depletion of resources and biodiversity, the production of waste, and the destroying of natural habitat are serious problems that must be addressed in order to ensure that life on earth will be sustainable throughout the next century. Humans extract and build everyday, this effects our ecosystem and effects the pressure of the land. More population means more space to construct houses and availability of more consumer goods. It   also requires   more means  of transport,  more  consumption  of  fossil  fuels  and more pollution of air, land and water. Thus growth of population leads to pollution of air, land and  water. Different  types of pollution are  causing  a  number  of  problems  in the physical environment that are further affecting the biological environment seriously.


I hope this helps in some way!

If global warming were to raise temperatures 1.5°C to 4.5°C, what would most-likely happen?
Pani-rosa [81]

The correct answers are:

- Polar ice caps would melt, increasing sea levels;

Because of the rise of the temperatures, the permafrost, glaciers, and polar ice caps would mostly melt. As they melt, they will increase the sea levels significantly because they will introduce much more water into the the seas and oceans.

- Wildlife would have to migrate or die;

With increasing sea levels, as well as change of habitats, lot of animals would find themselves in situation where they will have to migrate, because if they don't, they will find themselves in water and drown, or starve to death.

- Hurricanes and typhoons could increase in intensity;

Because the water in the sea levels will increase, and the water bodies will become even bigger, the hurricanes and typhoons will be able to become stronger and more intense, thus be more destructive as well.
