Ecological Imbalance

Answer 3

For the school project the answer has to be tailored differently.
Any thing or factor that upsets the balance of nature leads to ecological imbalance.There are several factors contributing to this.These are interacting factors. On the top is the interaction between inorganic and organic factors, also called abiotic and biotic factors: Interaction between living and nonliving.
Among the living beings are producers(plants), decomposers(bacteria etc) and consumers(humans etc).Then there are food chains and food webs that constitute a relationship among the living beings.When they die, they are decomposed into nonliving matter. In the entire gamut of things man alone is capable of manipulating the environment by certain activities of which he is capable.Man's greed and propensity for sexual life lead to depletion of natural resources and these two are the most potent factors for ecological imbalance.

Answer 4

1) Due to vast development of land and road constructions, many forests have been destroyed.
2) Pollution causes imbalance in the environment.
3) Industrialization has led to urbanization, which has added to the pollution.
4)The large scale poaching of wild animals by man is a serious threat to many species.
5) Increase in population has also increased the rate at which people consume natural resources.

Answer 5

According to me the biggest cause of ecological imbalance is pollution being created by avoiding the natural eco system by human beings in developemental race has simply started making misuse of the resources just to earn more money and a rank in industrial competition.This is something wrong, for an example factories working in remote areas throw their waste chemicals in water bodies,the smoke that comes out pollutes air which affects us and the nature.Nowit has started effecting the ozone layer ,anytime it starts raining and many diseases have started spreading so just think wat people r doing.I dont mean developement is wrong but blind developement by making our own future dark is wrong.

Answer 7

The main cause of ecological imbalance is Man's ''suboptimizers'' nature, since man know that ''prevention is better than cure'' but they don't apply this wise adage.For the most part we don't think systematically and therefor no systematic utilisation of resources.
the main difficulty is that we think but we don't do, as now i'm explaining you but i too don't care for ecological imbalance being done by our selves.
hence the main cause is ''MAN's UNSYSTEMATIC USE'' and ''limited resources'',.......SINCE MAN HAS UNLIMITED WANTS

Answer 8

the increase in poppulation is the main cause of ecological imbalance.causes of ecological imbalance may cause more of pollution,as more and more trees will be cut down.so, people cannot breathe pure air,as the air becomes contamiated.

Answer 9

Interference with Nature.Man is the main culprit in this aspect.
Destruction of forest,pollution of water,air...accumulation of non disposable waste(plastic is a notorious example) are the main causes..

Answer 10

Un-scientific ways of living; use of medicines and fertilizers which are only harmless to human but harmful to other species; you may be acquainted that if birds eat dead animals they die because the medicines taken by animals is harmful to birds & so on.

Answer 11

HUMANS:

Think about it, any problem that you can think of from pollution, global warming, invasive species, deforestation.....all things that would throw the balance of nature is all the cause of humans and human development....

wow, one word answer, never had that before....haha!
