Question

How has the population explosion and the advent of the industrial revolution resulted in an environmental crisis?

पर्याय

• The demand for resources for both production and consumption has gone beyond the rate of regeneration of the resources.

• The increasing population has led to increased demand for housing and this has led to widespread deforestation

• In order to accelerate the process of industrialisation, natural resources are being used up at a much faster pace.

• All of the above

Answer 1

All of the above

Explanation:

To fulfill the growing requirements of the expanding population, the demand for resources for both production and consumption has gone beyond the rate of resource regeneration, and as a result, the pressure on the environment has increased dramatically. As the world's population grows, so does the need for homes, which has resulted in extensive deforestation. Natural resources are being depleted at a much faster rate in order to speed up the industrialisation process. We now have a higher demand for environmental resources and services, yet supply is constrained due to exploitation and misuse of these resources. As a result, today's environmental challenges of waste generation and pollution are critical.
