Fragile Environments Quiz

What is the impact of deforestation on biodiversity?

• Improvement in the ecosystem

• Loss of habitat for many species

• No impact on the biodiversity

• Increase in the number of species

How does deforestation affect the ecosystem?

• It disrupts the balance of the environment, leading to loss of habitat for wildlife, soil erosion, and changes in climate patterns.

• It has no impact on the ecosystem

• It improves the biodiversity of the ecosystem

• It helps in controlling climate change

What are the effects of climate change on polar regions?

• Melting ice caps, rising sea levels, loss of habitat for polar animals, changes in weather patterns

• Increase in polar bear population, more snowfall, cooler temperatures

• Expansion of polar ice caps, decrease in sea levels, no impact on polar animals

• Decrease in extreme weather events, no change in habitat for polar animals, no impact on sea levels

How does climate change impact the wildlife in polar regions?

• Increase in available habitat, abundance of food, and improved migration patterns

• Decrease in predators, increase in prey, and more stable ecosystems

• Loss of habitat, changes in food availability, and disruption of migration patterns

• No impact on habitat, food availability, or migration patterns

What are the threats to rainforest ecosystems?

• Deforestation, climate change, illegal logging, and mining

• Overpopulation and urbanization

• Hunting and fishing

• Oil spills and pollution

How does human activity contribute to the degradation of rainforest ecosystems?

• Planting more trees

• Reducing pollution

• Conserving water resources

• Deforestation, logging, mining, and agriculture

What is the human impact on coastal environments?

• Planting more trees

• Building more hotels and resorts

• Pollution, habitat destruction, overfishing, and climate change

• Introducing new species to the ecosystem

How does human development affect coastal ecosystems?

• Human development leads to increased biodiversity in coastal ecosystems

• Human development has no impact on coastal ecosystems

• Human development helps to preserve coastal ecosystems

• Human development can lead to habitat destruction, pollution, and overfishing, which can negatively impact coastal ecosystems.

What are some conservation efforts for fragile environments?

• Protecting and restoring habitats, implementing sustainable resource management, promoting eco-friendly practices, and raising awareness

• Using more non-renewable resources

• Dumping waste into the environment

• Cutting down more trees

How can individuals contribute to the conservation of fragile environments?

• Ignoring environmental regulations and laws

• Using harmful chemicals and pesticides

• Supporting deforestation and habitat destruction

• Supporting sustainable practices and participating in conservation efforts
