Expert Solution

Step 1

Answer : 34. The term used to describe this threat from human activities is known as- a) habitat fragmentation.

Fragmentation means separation. Habitat fragmentation is the separation of large habitat into many small habitats.

When a large continuous habitat is isolated into many small patches or habitat because of natural phenomenon like fire, flood, volcanic eruption and mostly because of man made activity like set up road, industry through a forest or densely populated area, agriculture, urbanization, pollution etc., is called habitat fragmentation. Because of constructing highway through a forest a huge diversity loss is observed over a long period. It can disrupt the movement of many jungle animal.
