What is one negative human influence on the environment?

Answer 1

Very few. The ecosystems of the world are designed to accomodate just about any natural occurrence - from fires, to floods, to locust swarms. They may negatively affect individuals, or even whole populations, but the environment itself can compensate and adapt to these naturally-occurring factors.

Humans, on the other hand, have found ways to use the environment and its resources far beyond their naturally-sustainable levels. Thus they can adversely affect whole ecosystems, and the environment as a whole, through their actions.

Now if you're talking about aliens... that's another story...

Answer 2

A human can effect an ecosystem in many ways, such as pollution, or for example cutting down trees in a forest.
This question is very general. There are thousands of books on this subject. I will name a few. Carbon emissions effect the atmosphere and correlate with Global warming. Pollution in the waters and land. Fishing to much which affects ocean ecosystems. Killing animals such as the Tiger to near extinction. Destroying rainforests and other environments. The list goes on.
dumping pollutants into the ocean

Using chemicals on plants and animals *APEX*

cutting down all trees in a forest
Logging is a way that humans destroy the earth and the future generations. When loggers come and deforest an area it takes away an oxygen source for not just you and me but form millions of other species.

Landfills are probably in the top five worst ways we negatively affect the environment because of all the Styrofoam and plastic that takes a very long time to decompose we put in to they

Water pollution

Wildlife

Ozone layer

Noise pollution

Smoking

Building

Acid Rain

Agriculture
They are very junky and wasteful creatures. Pollution in the form of noise, water and air are some things that they've contributed to to affect the ecosystem. Also not bothering to put trash in its proper place and instead letting it go into wildernesses and such harms wildlife and plant life. Building roads, houses, towns and cities in areas where animals used to roam is another factor, as well as the population boom of humans puts pressure on the land and animals so that more houses can be built and food can be grown for an increasing human population. Then there's the exploitation of resources, primarily of non-renewable that requires clearing of the land and digging up the earth to get at them. The list can go on!
Humans are so successful as a life form that we have multiplied greatly. At the expense of the environment.

• We are inventing new ways of consuming Natural Resources, some of which are coming towards their limits.
• We make lots of trash.
• The land and material resources we consume leaves less room for other animals - so some of them die out all together.
• We burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), polluting the atmosphere with greenhouse gases.
• We cut down the great forests of the world.
• We are causing global warming and climate change.

Answer 3

Deforestation is a negative human influence on the environment that leads to the loss of biodiversity, disruption of ecosystems, and contributes to climate change through the release of stored carbon dioxide.

Answer 4

i am not that sure but i think like airplanes, helicopters, cars , speed boats, things like that but i m not 100 % sure so don't re lie on my answer

Answer 5

Humans have negatively affected the ecosystem in many ways. Two of them are polluting the environment and depleting natural resources.

Answer 6

Destruction of the rainforrest which has led to the destruction of the habitats for many animals which have now gone extinct or are endangered since they have no place to live.

Answer 7

Humans litter and it can kill off species. Hunting and fishing can also have negative affects
