Human Impacts on the Environment

Human Impacts on the Environment

Humans impact the physical environment in many ways: pollution, burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and more. Changes like these have triggered climate change, soil erosion, poor air quality, mass extinction, and undrinkable water, among other effects. These negative impacts can affect human behavior and can prompt mass migrations or battles over clean water.
