(a)
To determine: The problems that arise from population growth in less industrialized countries
Introduction:
Less industrialized countries are those where the population density is more. People live in joint families. The industrialized countries are those where the population density is less. People live in nuclear families.
(b)
To determine: The problems that arise from population growth in industrialized nations.
Introduction:
Less industrialized countries are those where the population density is more. People live in joint families. The industrialized countries are those where the population density is less. People live in nuclear families.
To determine: The greater threat of the problems that arise from population growth in less industrialized countries and industrialized nations.
Introduction:
Less industrialized countries are those where the population density is more. People live in joint families. The industrialized countries are those where the population density is less. People live in nuclear families.

- Question 1: What role does the environment play in addressing the needs of society? Question 2: Do you think that earth can exist without human being taking care of it? Or biodiversity also needs human being for it to be in a continuous growing process?arrow_forwardWhat exactly is global warming? What role does the use of fossil fuels have in global warming? What are the major implications of global warming? Please keep in mind that you write research sources.arrow_forwardPopulation growth causes many environmental problems Indicate some of these problems (2) What role do you think technology will play in solving these problems? Are you optimistic or pessimistic about these problems being solved through technology? Why?arrow_forward
- (A) The above figure indicates how much biologically productive land is needed to support different activities (e.g. 'carbon' is land needed to offset carbon emissions from energy production; 'cropland' is land needed to grow crops for food). What Goes it say about the sustainability of our lifestyle? Explain. (B) The world's ecosystems provide many valuable services, that we all benefit from. Yet, these services are often undervalued and taken for granted. Why? For full credit, provide an example with at least one specific ecosystem service. (C) Humans are impacting ecosystems (and their services) in many ways, often negatively. Throughout this course we've discussed some simple actions that can be taken by individuals to help mitigate our impact on the environment. List one action and specify how it can help.arrow_forwardClimate change has been called the major environmental health challenge of the twenty-first century. Do you agree or disagree? Explain (in detail) your reasoning.arrow_forwardExplain why you agree or disagree with most of the world’s climate scientists that (a) atmospheric warming and climate change are happening now, (b) human activities are the dominant cause of current atmospheric warming and climate change, (c) only action by humans can slow the rate of atmospheric warming and climate change and avert or delay their projected harmful environmental, health, and economic effects.arrow_forward
- 20.arrow_forwardIn terms of the human population of the Earth, what factors might impact human population growth over the next century? Our current system of agriculture depends extensively on inexpensive fossil fuels and is likely to be impacted by climate change by the late 21st century. Declining birthrates, especially in the developing world, are likely to bring the human race to the brink of extinction. Soon, there will not be enough room for humans to live. The human population will likely continue to increase exponentially for centuries.arrow_forwardLastly, notice the yellow graph for "Net Exports": in 2008 it was about +400, meaning the US exported 400 million gallons of biodiesel. But for the past several years "Net Exports" has been in negative territory, meaning that we IMPORT biodiesel from other countries! (this isn't surprising, notice that green consumption is consistently larger than blue production). The US first started importing biodiesel in the year U.S. Biodiesel Production, Exports, and Consumption Print Dow 2,500 • Production + Net Exports + Consumption 2,000 1,500 1,000 -500 -1,000 2001 Last updated October 2018 2004 2007 2010 2013 2016 Printed on: Aay 10 Millions gallonsarrow_forward
- Carbon dioxide and climate changed Describe 3 important changes that need to take place in order for the world to sustain up to 11 billion people by the end of the century?arrow_forwardDo the questions below the mosquito pleasearrow_forward(8) One of the main factors cited for our "spectacular population growth" is (a) larger living spaces for members of the population (b) better opportunities for educational advancement (c) reduced carbon dioxide emissions (d) increased agricultural outputarrow_forward
