Question

Which factors affect the environment? How?

Answer 1

The environment is affected by both natural and man-made (artificial) factors. Among the natural factors, sudden weather changes and various natural disasters affect the normal environment. These changes create problems in the interrelationships between the food chain and food web. Man-made activities also cause severe environmental destruction. Industrialisation, industrial pollution, urbanisation, hunting and poaching of wild animals, and the construction of dams, roads and bridges are among the human activities that cause extensive damage to the environment.
