Q5. “Climate change is transforming remote ecosystems into zones of intensified human pressure. Examine with reference to polar and mountain regions. Analyse the ecological consequences of such transformation. (10 M)
Difficulty Level: Medium
Reference: DTE
Why the question In the context of accelerating climate change impacts on the cryosphere, which are transforming previously isolated polar and mountain ecosystems and intensifying human activity in environmentally fragile regions. Key Demand of the question The question requires examining how climate change is increasing human access and pressure in polar and mountain regions and analysing the resulting ecological consequences of this transformation. Both the process and its environmental outcomes must be addressed. Structure of the Answer Introduction Briefly indicate how climate change is reducing natural isolation of polar and mountain ecosystems, converting them into zones of heightened human interaction. Body Transformation of remote polar and mountain ecosystems into zones of intensified human pressure due to climate-induced accessibility. Ecological consequences arising from increased human activity in these fragile ecosystems. Conclusion Emphasise the need to integrate climate action with ecosystem protection to safeguard vulnerable polar and mountain environments.
