Cause and Effect Quiz

What are the effects of air pollution on human health?

• Improved immune system

• Enhanced cognitive function

• Decreased risk of chronic diseases

• Respiratory problems, cardiovascular issues, and overall health deterioration

How does water pollution affect aquatic life?

• It can decrease oxygen levels, introduce harmful chemicals, and disrupt the food chain, leading to illness and death in aquatic life.

• It can increase oxygen levels and improve the health of aquatic life.

• It can lead to overpopulation of aquatic species.

• It has no impact on aquatic life.

Explain the impact of deforestation on the environment.

• Deforestation leads to loss of habitat for many species, soil erosion, disruption of the water cycle, and increased greenhouse gas emissions.

• Deforestation has no impact on the environment

• Deforestation leads to increased biodiversity

• Deforestation helps in maintaining the water cycle

What are the consequences of plastic pollution in the oceans?

• Increase in fish population, cleaner water, and improved marine biodiversity

• Harm to marine life, ecosystem disruption, and potential harm to human health

Describe the relationship between soil pollution and food contamination.

• Soil pollution can lead to food contamination.

• Soil pollution has no impact on food contamination.

• Soil pollution only affects water, not food.

• Food contamination can lead to soil pollution.

What are the natural causes of drought?

• Deforestation

• Climate change, high pressure systems, and El Niño are some natural causes of drought.

• Excessive rainfall

• Low humidity

How does deforestation contribute to the occurrence of drought?

• Deforestation has no impact on the occurrence of drought.

• Deforestation reduces the number of trees that can absorb water from the soil and release it into the atmosphere, leading to decreased precipitation and increased risk of drought.

• Deforestation increases the number of trees that can absorb water from the soil and release it into the atmosphere, leading to increased precipitation and decreased risk of drought.

• Deforestation leads to the planting of more trees, which helps prevent drought.

Explain the role of climate change in causing drought.

• Climate change only affects temperature, not precipitation

• Climate change can lead to changes in precipitation patterns, which can result in prolonged periods of low rainfall and ultimately lead to drought.

• Drought is caused by excessive rainfall due to climate change

• Climate change has no impact on drought

What are the effects of overuse of water resources on drought?

• Improved water management reducing drought

• Depletion of water sources leading to drought

• Increase in water supply leading to drought

• Higher water demand decreasing drought

Describe the impact of urbanization on the occurrence of drought.

• Urbanization can lead to the creation of more water sources, reducing the likelihood of drought occurrence.

• Urbanization can decrease evaporation and increase moisture in the air, leading to a lower likelihood of drought occurrence.

• Urbanization can lead to the creation of heat islands, which can increase evaporation and reduce moisture in the air, leading to a higher likelihood of drought occurrence.

• Urbanization has no impact on the occurrence of drought.
