Question

what environmental disaster can be attributed to over - population and over - use of resources by humans? a the exxon valdez oil spill in alaska b climate change due to the greenhouse effect c the explosion of the chernobyl nuclear power plant in russia d severe contamination of the danube river in germany by industrial chemicals e tree blight spreads and kills 80% of the local forest

Explanation:

Over - population and over - use of resources by humans lead to increased emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. These gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, causing the greenhouse effect and resulting in climate change. The Exxon Valdez oil spill, Chernobyl explosion, Danube River contamination are specific incidents not directly related to over - population and over - use in the broad sense like climate change. Tree blight is usually caused by biological factors rather than over - population and over - use of resources.

Answer:

B. climate change due to the greenhouse effect
