Habitat Loss

What is deforestation and how does it contribute to habitat loss?

• Deforestation is the planting of new trees to create more habitats for wildlife.

• Deforestation has no impact on habitat loss as animals can easily adapt to new environments.

• Deforestation is the process of building new homes for animals in the forest.

• Deforestation is the clearing of trees and forests, which leads to the destruction of habitats for many species.

Explain how mining activities can lead to habitat loss.

• Mining activities can lead to habitat loss by clearing land, removing vegetation, and disrupting ecosystems.

• Mining activities can lead to habitat loss by reducing pollution and improving air quality.

• Mining activities can lead to habitat loss by promoting biodiversity and preserving ecosystems.

• Mining activities can lead to habitat loss by increasing the population of endangered species.

How does industrial pollution affect the habitats of animals?

• It leads to an increase in the population of animals

• It improves the living conditions for animals

• It can contaminate water, soil, and air, leading to habitat destruction and loss of food sources for animals.

• It has no impact on animal habitats

Describe the impact of habitat loss on the decrease in animal populations.

• Habitat loss only affects certain species, not overall animal populations

• Habitat loss reduces available space and resources for animal populations to thrive.

• Habitat loss increases available space and resources for animal populations

• Habitat loss has no impact on animal populations

How does deforestation affect the biodiversity of an ecosystem?

• It has no impact on the biodiversity of an ecosystem.

• It only affects a few species, so overall biodiversity is not significantly impacted.

• It increases the habitat and food sources for many species, leading to an increase in biodiversity.

• It reduces the habitat and food sources for many species, leading to a loss of biodiversity.
