Which of the following results in "Environmental crisis"? |
Resource extraction rate is above regeneration Waste generation is below the assimilation capacity Both 1 and 2 None of the above |
Resource extraction rate is above regeneration |
The correct answer is Option 1: Resource extraction rate is above regeneration Explanation: An environmental crisis occurs when the rate of resource extraction exceeds the natural regeneration capacity of the environment. This leads to resource depletion and environmental degradation. On the other hand, waste generation below the environment's assimilation capacity would not result in a crisis, as the environment can handle the waste without harmful effects. |
