1. List the major ways in which humans are damaging the environment 2. Floods can devastate an ecosystem, however they can also have a positive impact. Please explain the positive impacts major floods can have on the ecosystem.
3. How do seasonal changes in temperature, water availability and sunlight affect ecosystems?
4. Propose 5 ways that humans can help minimise the negative effects both natural events and human impact can have on ecosystems.

I'm answering Q1: the major ways in which humans are damaging the environment is cutting down trees. trees are homes for other animals like birds and koalas and so much more I can't name. if you cut down a tree an animal loses its shelter, the animal doesn't have a shelter to stay, the animal dies, the animal dies we we have no food. Also trees are very much needed and very important for us humans. trees release oxygen when they use energy from sunlight to make glucose from carbon dioxide and water. also cutting trees adds carbon dioxide to the air and removes the ability to absorb existing carbon dioxide.

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.
