NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -“Overpopulation occurs when a species’ population exceeds the carrying capacity of its ecological niche. It can result from an increase in births (fertility rate), a decline in the mortality rate, an increase in immigration, or an unsustainable biome and depletion of resources.”

Detailed explanation-2: -Population density can have a negative impact on our environment and natural resources. These pressures can lead to deforestation, result in overcrowding, and could lead to the destruction of our planet’s delicate ecosystem. Growing populations use large amounts of nonrenewable resources like timber, coal, and oil.

Detailed explanation-3: -Population growth, along with increasing consumption, tends to increase emissions of climate-changing greenhouse gases. Rapid population growth worsens the impacts of climate change by straining resources and exposing more people to climate-related risks-especially in low-resource regions.

Detailed explanation-4: -In exponential growth, the population’s growth rate increases over time, in proportion to the size of the population.

Detailed explanation-5: -It leads to the cutting of forests for cultivation leading to several environmental change. Besides all this, the increasing population growth leads to the migration of large number to urban areas with industrialization. This results in polluted air, water, noise and population in big cities and towns.
