Why is Antarctica a very fragile environment?

Answer 1

The Antarctic environment is unique on the planet. It is not only the coldest, driest, windiest, highest and most uninhabited continent on earth, but it is also home to some of the most amazing animals. It is exactly this fascinating environment that allows these creatures to thrive. Without this fragile environment the entire food chain from plankton and krill to whales would be affected.

Of all the planets make up the Solar System, the Earth is the only planet on which life can exist, as far as we know. The Earth provides us with materials that we need i order to live comfortably, such as water from rivers and wood from trees. However, to support the increasing number of people living on earth, we need more and more of these materials. Eventually, we may end up using them faster than they can be replaced.

In some countries, people are cutting down trees faster than the young trees can grow to replace those that have been removed. This results in more forests disappearing from the Earth. If we continue to cut down forests faster than they can be replaced, the forests will disappear one day. When that happens, we will no longer have wood to make paper and others things. Plants and animals that live in forests will also become extinct.

In addition, many of our activities damage the environment. For exampla, when we travel in motor vehicles, the vehicles release harmful gases into the air. As a result, people who breathe in the polluted air may fall sick.

We need to realise that the Earth is fragile. The Earth is our only home and it can be damaged. Hence, we must take care of it and not take it for granted. In order for the Earth to continue to support life,we should learn to use the Earth's materials wisely and reduce waste.
