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

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.

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

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
