What is the depth of Lake Chad today?
In about which year does the graph in Figure 1 start?
Figure 1 shows changing levels of Lake Chad, in Saharan North Africa. Lake Chad disappeared completely in about 20,000 BC, during the last Ice Age. In about 11,000 BC it reappeared. Today, its level is about the same as it was in AD1000

Environmental Problems
Before humans came on the scene, the world changed slowly. There were for natural calamities such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tropical storms. The climate warmed and cooled. New plants and animals evolved and became extinct in their turn. Sea levels rose and fell over periods of thousands, if not millions of years.
But during the last two thousand years, the rate of change has been dramatic. Forests have vanished and river courses have been altered.

Ecological disturbance brings about the mortality to organisms and changes the pattern of their ecosystems. State the measures that can be taken up to minimize this ongoing imbalance in nature. _____________________
There are seven billion people inhabiting planet earth today and are together accelerating the rate of climate change. However, the pie chart shows that countries with had lesser population contributed more towards this imbalance in the year 1980. What could have been the possible reason for this? ________________________
