SUSTAINABILITY OF NATURAL RESOURCES
Greenhouse Effect
Without the greenhouse gages, Earth would be too cold for life
Too much greenhouse gages makes the Earth too hot.
Greenhouse gages such as carbon dioxide warms the Earth
Humans are causing more greenhouse gases.
Greenhouse effect is the warming of the Earth
Burning fossil fuels and cows producing methane can be reduced by humans.
Air pollution
Burning deadly gasses like carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide can harm people.
Burning fossil fuels can cause cancer
Oil, coal and gas are all fossil fuels
smog contains ozone and when it reacts with other deadly gases then its not safe.
Cows produce methane
Acidic rain is harmful to anything it touches.
Natural Resources
Anything in nature that people value
We use energy resources to power our cities
Plastic is not a nature resource unlike air, water, plants and animals
The two types of resources are renewable and non renewable
Fossil fuels are nonrenewable unlike solar energy
Reducing, reusing and recycling can help us conserve our resourcing
Climate change
Global warming is about the temperature of the Earth
Climate change happen naturally but humans are making it happen faster
Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases which trap the heat.
Humans burning fossil fuels is producing more carbon dioxide
Trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
Global warming is causing bad weather and diseases.
Population growth
Earth can support a certain amount of people
About 200 years ago, the human population increased a lot.
More humans on Earth is causing more pollution and is using our resources faster.
In about 10 years, there will be more than 8 billion people on Earth.
Humans can reduce their use to help with conservation
Recycling is a good way to reduce our plastic resources
Soil
Erosion moves the sediments to other places
Plants need rocks and humus to grow
Weathering breaks rocks into small pieces called sediment
Soil has different layers and top soil has the most humus
Soil is a mix of rocks, water and dead stuff
Plants cannot grow in bedrock
Humans and their environment
The three ways to help the environment in conserving, cleaning up and chiming in.
For the last 200 years, humans have greatly impacted the environment
During the industrial revolution there was more people that caused more pollution
Using non renewable resources causes pollution and will eventually run out
Humans need to take action to improve our environment for our survival
