How does environment affect population?

Answer 1

As population increases ,more houses need to be built.Therefore shallow lakes and ponds or other low lying areas are filled up for use.This causes loss of lake and pond ecosystems.Increased waste production such as garbage and drainage finally contaminates the water table and the nearby water odies like rivers,streams or seas.Increase in populations also leads to furthur congestion and pressure on facilities like housing,employment,transportation,power and health care.Problems regarding waste management and waste disposal also become large.Garbage dumps fringe every major city and this has led to specialized waste management.But many times the rules are not maintained strictly and hence the toxins from these leach into the soil and contaminate the water table thereby affecting the people living in that particular region.

Answer 2

The major impact of human population on the environment is that more and more land must be converted to agricultural purposes. This severely limits the habitat and food sources available to animals, and any "weeds" (native plants) are often kept out of agricultural fields with chemical herbicides. Cities and roads usually entail paving over otherwise arable land, too.

Q: What is the impact of population on the environment?

A: As population grows,the demand for resources destroy animal habitat's, leaving them endngered. Not only that, but poachers endanger animals just because of their fur. When people destroy forests and other natural place, it endagers animals ,too

Answer 3

Population usually constricts upon the environment's "carrier capacity", which is the amount of a given population that has the ability to be sustained by the environment. If the population goes beyond the carrier capacity, the materials within that environment will be depleted, along with all Natural Resources available prior the the population's being there.

Answer 4

• More people need more resources, and getting more resources often means extra pollution.
• More people means there is a need for more things, supply and demand both go up.
• The more humans, the less vegetation and that's when a tipping point hits.
• the more people there are the more trees are needed to make homes and build fires and also more food is needed to feed the population.

Population growth is best described using the town of Ephesus as an example. Ephesus was a great Greek port city that had an amphitheater that would seat 22000 people.
After expansion trees were cut down to support people and provide food resources, heating, etc. The ground began to erode and within a 300 year period this town was no longer a port city; the land eroded into the Mediterranean Sea. The city ended up being 60 miles from sea front, this gives us a guideline and direct example of the damage clear cutting causes, Ephesus is now a once great city in ruins and proof that man doesn't own nature nor can control it.

Answer 5

Environment referred to here is physical. Environment, if polluted with harmful chemicals such as dirt and water contamination, will cause health problems to the people. Many people die from this every year. Due to global warming, many of the lands are cracking and drying up. This will cause a lack of food since food cannot grow in these conditions. People will then die of malnourishment and starvation. Diseases might also spread easily due to weak bodies.

Answer 6

One way population affects the environment is that if a town/city has a big population, they would invest in buildings instead of helping the environment. If a town/city had a small population, they would focus more on thing that help the community than buildings.

Answer 7

Yes, the bigger the population is, the more pollution we cause to the environment. Trees get choppes down to create space for new homes to build or to make furniture and stuff.
