Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of these activities contribute to making the human species the most significant agent of environmental change on Earth.

Continued population growth leads to increased demand for resources, expansion of human settlements and infrastructure, and changes in land use patterns.

Consuming non-renewable resources, such as fossil fuels, contributes to climate change and other environmental impacts, such as air and water pollution.

Eradicating unique species through habitat destruction, overhunting, and introduction of invasive species disrupts ecosystems and can lead to the collapse of entire food webs.

Ignoring the environment, such as not addressing pollution or taking measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, exacerbates the negative impacts of human activities on the environment.
