Here are the step-by-step answers to each question:
1. The trend toward urbanization has brought many benefits to people and societies, but many consequences too.
- Urbanization refers to the increasing population and development of cities or urban areas.
- Benefits of urbanization include better access to education, healthcare, job opportunities, and improved infrastructure.
- Consequences of urbanization include increased pollution, traffic congestion, loss of green spaces, and strain on resources.
2. Increased tree death:
- Urban areas often have limited space for trees to grow, leading to overcrowding of trees or lack of proper care.
- Trees in urban areas also face challenges like pollution, extreme temperatures, and limited water availability.
- These factors contribute to increased tree death rates in urban environments.
3. Flooding can potentially occur and harm wildlife and land:
- Urbanization can lead to the removal of natural vegetation and replacement with impermeable surfaces like concrete and asphalt.
- This reduces the natural absorption of rainfall, increasing the risk of flooding.
- Flooding can cause damage to buildings, infrastructure, and livelihoods, but it also impacts wildlife habitats and can lead to the displacement or loss of animal species.
4. Brine can kill ocean wildlife:
- Brine is a highly concentrated solution made up of salt and water, often produced as a byproduct of industrial processes like desalination.
- When brine is released into the ocean, it can have harmful effects on marine life.
- The high salt concentration can disrupt the osmotic balance in marine organisms, causing dehydration and death.
- Brine can also negatively impact water quality and ecosystem health, affecting the overall biodiversity and functioning of marine environments.
