Ability of environment to absorb wastes is known as |
Absorptive Capacity Carrying Capacity Sustainable Capacity Global Warming Process |
Absorptive Capacity |
The correct answer is option (1) : Absorptive Capacity Absorptive Capacity of the environment means the ability of the environment to absorb degradation. This term specifically refers to the environment's ability to handle waste and pollution without suffering degradation. Carrying Capacity: The environment is able to perform these functions without any interruption as long as the demand on these functions is within its carrying capacity. This implies that the resource extraction is not above the rate of regeneration of the resource and the wastes generated are within the assimilating capacity of the environment. When this is not so, the environment fails to perform its third and vital function of life sustenance and this results in an environmental crisis. This is the situation today all over the world. |
