Solution

Explanation :

  1. Human activities have a variety of effects on the physical environment, including overcrowding, pollution, fossil fuel combustion, and deforestation. Climate change, soil erosion, poor air quality, and undrinkable water have all been induced by changes like these.

The three factors that are adversely affecting the environment are:

  1. Greenhouse effect: greenhouse gases like Co2, CH4, etc. trap the heat from the solar energy and increase the temperature, resulting in global warming.
  2. Overpopulation: results in the degradation of the air and water quality, which further affect the physical health of all the living organisms.
  3. Deforestation: Cutting down trees results in the loss of flora and fauna, disturbing the balance of the ecosystem.
