Environmental Impacts Quiz

What are the effects of deforestation in the Amazon rainforest on the endangered Amazonian manatee?

• Enhanced ecosystem stability, increased availability of resources, improved species interactions.

• Decreased competition for resources, improved habitat quality, increased population size.

• Decreased competition for resources, increased genetic diversity, improved survival rates.

• Loss of natural habitat, disruption of food sources and breeding patterns, decline in population, increased vulnerability to extinction

Why is habitat destruction a threat to endangered species?

• Habitat destruction increases the population of endangered species.

• Habitat destruction reduces or eliminates the natural habitats of endangered species, making it difficult for them to survive and reproduce.

• Habitat destruction has no impact on endangered species.

• Habitat destruction improves the natural habitats of endangered species.

What are the consequences of urbanization on biodiversity?

• Urbanization leads to habitat loss, fragmentation, pollution, and the introduction of invasive species, resulting in a significant negative impact on biodiversity.

• Urbanization increases biodiversity.

• Urbanization has no impact on biodiversity.

• Urbanization only affects certain species of animals.

How does habitat destruction affect the food chain of endangered species?

• Habitat destruction has no impact on the food chain of endangered species.

• Habitat destruction leads to an increase in the population of endangered species.

• Habitat destruction increases the availability of prey for endangered species.

• Habitat destruction removes sources of food and shelter, leading to a decline in prey availability and population of endangered species.

Explain how habitat destruction can lead to the extinction of species.

• Habitat destruction removes or degrades the natural environment that species rely on for survival, leading to a decline in population size and ultimately extinction.

• Habitat destruction only affects non-native species.

• Species can easily adapt to habitat destruction and survive.

• Habitat destruction has no impact on species extinction.

• Urbanization contributes to the loss of natural habitats.

• Urbanization helps to preserve natural habitats.

• Urbanization has no impact on natural habitats.

• Urbanization only affects certain types of natural habitats.
