Sustainability of Natural Resources
Climate change
Global warming is about the temperature of the Earth.
The Earth's temperature is increasing faster than normal.
Global warming is caused by green house gasses.
The gasses trap heat on the Earth (Greenhouse effect)
People using fossil fuels are producing more carbon dioxide
Trees remove some of the carbon dioxide.
Climate change is causing more bad weather and diseases but, we can fix the problem by conserving our resources.
Conserving energy
Recycling
Fossil Fules
Solar Energy
Natural resources
Anything in nature that people value
Air, Water, Plants and animals are natural resources
Plastic is not a natural resources
There are 2 types of natural resources which are renewable and nonrenewable
Reducing, reusing, and recycling will conserve our resources
Soil
Soil is a mix of water, rocks and dead stuff.
Weathering breaks rocks into small pieces called sediments
Erosion is when small rocks called sediments get moved to different places.
Rocks and humus helps plant grow
Soil has different layers and the topsoil has the most humus.
Plants cannot grow in the bedrock, so we must protect the topsoil
Population growth
Earth can support a certin amount of people
about 200 years ago, the human population growed a lot.
More humans on earth are using our resources faster
In more than 10 years earth will have more than 8 billion people
Humans can reduce their use to help with conservation
recycling is a good way to conserve our resources
Air Pollution
Greenhouse effect
Global warming causes problems
Humans and their environment
For the last 200 years, humans have greatly impacted the environment
Humans can do things to help the environment because we need to for our survival.
Using nonrenewable resources, such as plastic, is causing major problems
The 3 ways to help the environment are conserving, chiming and cleaning up.
During the industrial revolution, human population has increased and caused lots of pollution
