Wildfires increase the potential for flooding, debris flows, and landslides. Smoke and other emissions contain pollutants that can cause significant health problems. they also threaten lives directly, and wildfire smoke can affect us all. They spread air pollution not only nearby, but thousands of miles away—causing breathing difficulties in even healthy individuals, not to mention children, older adults and those with heart disease, diabetes, asthma, COPD and other lung diseases.

On the other hand Standing flood waters can also spread infectious diseases, contain chemical hazards, and cause injuries. Each year, flooding causes more deaths than any other hazard related to thunderstorms. The most common flood deaths occur when a vehicle is driven into hazardous flood waters.

Over various spans of time, human populations have increased, decreased, or remained the same, and at both global and local leve

EastWind [94]

Answer:

C. Like other populations, the human population is affected by a variety of factors in the environment

Note: The options are found in the attachment below

Explanation:

Factors that affect population in the natural world include; availability of food, water, shelter, space, competition for resources, predation, as well as disease.

These factors also affect human population resulting in an increase, decrease or stability in population.

Regarding decrease in population, factors like competition for scarce resources has resulted in wars which greatly reduced human population. Also disease outbreaks, droughts, famines, etc have resulted in decrease in population.

Availability of food, water, shelter and space on the other hand makes for an increase in population by increasing the birth rate, reducing competition and bringing stability.

In some other instances, overtime, there is a balance between birth and death rate, so human population will remain relatively unchanged at these times.
