Question

Human interference and changes in climate can maintain the ecosystem. State whether the given statement is true or false. If true, give the reasons.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Human interference:

1. All the living beings are interdependent upon each other for each other's survival, hence human existence affects the whole ecosystem.
2. Humans use forests for fuelwood and to make houses, hence they perform deforestation (cutting down trees).
3. Deforestation causes global warming and an increase in the temperature of the globe.
4. The loss of natural habitats of animals and plants due to the industrial revolution and the construction of new buildings has led to climatic pollution and ecosystem disturbances.
5. Many natural calamities like tsunamis, forest fires, etc., have been caused due to human intervention into natural resources.
6. Hence, all these reasons show that human activities cannot maintain the natural ecosystem, instead, it leads to the disturbance of natural existence due to human activities.

Final answer: The given statement is false.
