How Do Our Activities Affect The Environment?

Climate change alters habitats and ecosystems, forcing species to migrate or adapt. Many species may not survive these changes, leading to a loss of biodiversity and the extinction of certain species.

Biological magnification is the process by which harmful chemicals accumulate in organisms at higher trophic levels in a food chain. It is harmful because top predators, including humans, consume high concentrations of toxins, which can cause serious health problems.

Air pollution releases greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which trap heat and cause global warming. This leads to rising temperatures, melting glaciers, and sea level rise.

Deforestation is the large-scale cutting down of forests. It leads to the loss of biodiversity, contributes to climate change by releasing carbon dioxide, and causes soil erosion.
