Environmental Issues in Canada Quiz- Parrish

What are some of the impacts of climate change on Canada's environment?

• Melting ice caps, rising sea levels, changes in wildlife habitats, and extreme weather events

• Decreased rainfall, expansion of desert areas, and reduced biodiversity

• Stable ice caps, unchanged sea levels, and no impact on wildlife habitats or weather

• Increased snowfall, reduced forest fires, and improved air quality

How does climate change affect the wildlife in Canada?

• Altering habitats, causing shifts in migration patterns, and impacting food sources.

• Promoting the growth of natural habitats

• Reducing the impact on ecosystems

• Increasing wildlife population and diversity

Why is it important to conserve natural resources in Canada?

• To ignore the impact of resource depletion on future generations

• To exploit natural resources for economic gain

• To maintain ecological balance, preserve biodiversity, and ensure sustainable development.

• To deplete natural resources and disrupt the ecosystem

What are some examples of natural resources that are being conserved in Canada?

• Nuclear waste, plastic pollution, desertification, and greenhouse gas emissions

• Coal mining, urbanization, industrial waste, and soil erosion

• Forests, water, minerals, and wildlife

• Oil spills, air pollution, deforestation, and overfishing

What are the effects of pollution on the air, water, and soil in Canada?

• Pollution can lead to smog, acid rain, contaminated water, and degraded soil in Canada.

• Pollution has no impact on the air, water, and soil in Canada

• By ignoring environmental concerns and focusing on economic growth

• By encouraging industrial growth and development

• By setting standards for pollution control, resource management, and conservation.

What are some sustainable energy sources that Canada is promoting?

• Nuclear power and oil

• Geothermal power and fossil fuels

• Coal power and natural gas

• Hydropower, wind power, solar power, and biomass

How can the use of sustainable energy sources help in reducing environmental impact?

• By reducing reliance on fossil fuels and decreasing air and water pollution.

• By encouraging the use of non-renewable energy sources and increasing carbon emissions.

• By cutting down more trees and increasing deforestation.

• By increasing the use of fossil fuels and increasing air and water pollution.
