WEEK 7 CILOs C1. Demonstrate an advanced level of knowledge and understanding of core facts, principles and theories in environmental systems. C4. Critically analyse various environmental problems to identify the impact(s) on environmental systems. C5. Work productively and effectively as an individual, pair or in a team, ensuring personal and group outcomes that meet the requirements of the assigned task. 3 o Human population growth has an impact on the environment and limit the economic development. Currently, it found that population growth have the below impacts: 1. Starving in areas with limiting food production and population is growth. 2. Unrest of political in places with limited resources such as jobs, products, and food due to population growth 3. Degradation of environment due to poor utilization of the natural resources 4. Water pollution 5. Air pollution 4 6. Extinction of specific organism < Human Population Growth and Economic> < Environmental Science: A Global Concern Cunninghan, W.P. & M.A. Cunninghan.> 5 o Three factors are effect on the economic development those are o population, o affluence, o and usage of technology. o As the values of these factors increase the impact on the environmental will increase. 6 < Human Population Growth Impact > Exercise 1. Identify two impacts of human population on the environment. 7 < Human Population Growth Impact > Exercise 2. Write the reason behind increase the water pollution and water pollution due to increase the human population. 8 < Human Population Growth Impact > Exercise 3. Suggest two solutions to reduce the impact of human population on the environment. 9 < Human Population Growth and Economic Development > Exercise 4. Choose the statement that describe the factors those drop the economic development: a. Increase human population, reduce in the utilization of technology, and expense less money on their daily life b. Growth in human population, utilize technology on daily life, and spend lots of many on obtaining daily requirements. c. Reduce in human population, utilize technology on daily life, and expense less money on their daily life. 10 What did you learn?
