Question
Explain absorptive capacity of environment with example.
Solution
Absorptive Capacity of Environment refers to the environment's ability to absorb garbage generated by economic consumption and manufacturing activities. The environment can absorb degradation without producing harm. However, if human activities exceed the environment's limit and absorption capacity, it poses a major threat to the environment and, eventually, human and other forms of life. For example, when dead plants and animals decompose in the soil, they fertilize it.
