Examples of Habitat Destruction



Global warming is an example of habitat destruction. The glaciers are melting and are causing damage to the habitats surrounding them. They slide downwards and break apart much of the land. The picture below shows what can be done. The land has been separated, leaving it fractured.


Another example of habitat destruction is deforestation. All the trees in one area are cut making the animals move to another habitat and adapting to it. This means that one habitat will become over populated and may lead to habitat destruction in that area.

The following video is a great example of habitat loss.


There are many examples of habitat destruction and these are just two of them. Habitat destruction is a dominos effect. When one habitat is removed animals are forced to another which may make that habitat over populated, and over population can lead to habitat destruction. So then more and more habitat destruction will occur.
