How do humans effect mountains?

Answer 1

There are many ways people contribute to changes in landforms:.They clear huge areas of trees off mountains, and when it rains, the lack of roots holding the dirt in place can cause landslides.

.They dig tunnels through mountains, and carve roads and trails along landforms.

.Digging canals and damming rivers changes the flow of water that erodes landforms.

.People cut away at hills and mountains in order to have more flat land for farming and house-building.

.They drill holes in the earth (canyons, valleys, etc.) for oil, and carve out the sides of some landforms for mining.

.People also build heat-giving factories and buildings near glaciers, and the heat causes the glacier to retreat, or not move as fast, which in turn saves some landforms from being scoured by the ice.

There are probably loads more ways that humans cause changes in landforms- but I don't know tham all...

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

People release greenhouse gases in the things we do everyday. For example, burning fossil fuels, cutting down trees etc. This releases carbon dioxide (and other greenhouse gases like methane) into the atmosphere. They store heat in the atmosphere and don't allow it to escape. This then causes temperatures to rise.

We affect the ecosystems by intruding our life into theirs. If a wood duck finds a dead tree they will make a home out of it but we decide to cut them down. If you have ever seen Jurassic park 2. You will know that sometimes animals can be more powerful over their ecosystems than we can.

Answer 3

Humans can impact mountains through activities like mining, deforestation, and tourism. These activities can lead to habitat destruction, soil erosion, and pollution, altering the natural ecosystem of mountains and affecting the local flora and fauna. Climate change caused by human activities can also have consequences for mountain ecosystems by affecting temperature, snow cover, and glacial retreat.

Answer 4

Mountains can have a number of different effects on people. Mountains can affect the moods of many people for example.
