Best answer

(a) The ozone layer protecting the Earth from harmful sun rays is being destroyed by C.F.Cs. (chloro fluoro carbons) used in aerosol spray cans and refrigerators.

In my opinion, the hole in the Ozone Layer will grow bigger and more people will get skin cancer.

(b) The Taj Mahal is being corroded and disfigured by chemicals and acid rain if pollution is not checked.
In my opinion, the white marble will corrode and this wonderful piece of architecture will crumble.

(c) The Maldives, low-lying islands, are in danger of being drowned by rising water levels caused by melting ice-caps and the global warming due to the Greenhouse Effect.
In my opinion the water levels will rise higher and these islands will disappear from the face of the earth.

(d) The rainforests, ‘the lungs of the world’, are being destroyed rapidly for economic gain.
In my opinion, the Earth will soon stop receiving rain and it will be a desert.

(e) Weather patterns are changing mainly due to Greenhouse Effect caused by poison-ous gases emitted in the sky, deforestation etc.
In my opinion, weather patterns will change due to Greenhouse Effect and the earth will be without any life on it.

(f) Fossil fuels—gas, oil, coal, etc.—being used up very quickly will be exhausted by A.D. 2030 according to scientists.
In my opinion, if fossil fuels are used at the present rate, the Earth’s eco-system will be destroyed.

(g) The Ganges delta is being silted up because deforestation high up the river valley is leading to soil erosion causing the fertile earth wash down into the river and floods.
In my opinion, if deforestation is not checked, it will result in more floods turning the fertile delta into an infertile waste land.
