Interconnected Global Problems
Deforestation
Less photosynthesis
More carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
Soil erosion
Mudslides
Soil washes into local streams
Damages hydroelectric structures and irrigation infrastructure
Desertification
Increased risk of fire
Loss of animal and plant habitat
Releasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
Acid rain
Habitat destruction
Ocean acidification
Marine calcifying organisms can't form skeletons, existing shells erode
Coral can't build their internal infrastructures
Fracking
Large amounts of water used
Increases potential for oil spills
Harms soil and surrounding vegetation
Strip mining
Destroys landscapes, forests and wildlife habitats
Soil erosion
Destruction of agricultural land
Dust and noise pollution
Underground mining
Waste earth and rock brought to the surface
Lowers the water table
Flow of groundwater and streams disrupted
Burning fossil fuels
