Question
State an adverse impact of urbanisation on the ecosystem.
Solution
Deforestation occurs as natural land, such as forests, is cleared to make way for urban infrastructure like buildings, roads, and residential areas. This leads to the loss of biodiversity, disruption of habitats for wildlife, and reduced carbon sequestration, contributing to climate change. Moreover, deforestation can cause soil erosion and negatively impact water cycles, harming the ecosystem.
