SUSTAINABILITY & CONSERVATIONS OF NATURAL RESOURCES
Natural Resources
Anything that people value
We use energy resources to power our cities
Plastic is not a natural resources because it does not occur naturally
Fossil fuels (oil) are nonrenewable, unlike solar energy
The 2 types of resources our renewable and nonrenewable
Reducing, reusing, and recycling can help us conserve our resources
Lol I wanted this to be filled because it would look symetrical
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 using our resources faster
Humans can reduce there use to help conserve
In about 10 years, there will be more than 8 billion people on Earth
Recycling is a good way to conserve our resources
Green House Effect
Greenhouse effect is the warming of the Earth
Greenhouse gases, such as CO2, warms the Earth
Without the greenhouse gases, Earth would be to cold for life
Too much greenhouse gases makes the Earth too hot
Humans are causing more greenhouse gases
Burning fossil fuels and cows producing methane can be reduced by humans
Air Pollution
Air pollution can come from different places, such as cars
Burning fossil fuels releases poisonous gases such as CO2 or SO2
Air pollution can cause cancer and global warming
Ozone when it's up high protects from the sun, but becomes poisonous when it's near us
Air pollution can mix with clouds to create acid rain
Cows produce a lot of methane, which is a greenhouse gas
Conserving our resources will cause less air pollution
Climate Change (aka Global Warming)
Global warming is about the temperature of the Earth
Climate change happens naturally, but humans are making it happen faster
Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases, which traps the hear
Trees remove carbon dioxide, so we need more trees
Humans burning fossil fuel is producing more carbon dioxide
Global warming is causing bas weather and diseases but we can still fix the problem
Soil
soil is a mixed of rocks, water, and dead stuff
weathering breaks rocks into small pieces called sediments
erosion moves the sediments to other places
Soil has different layers and the topsoil has the most humus
plants cannot grow in bedrock, so we must protect our topsoil
plants need rocks and humus to grow
Humans and their enviroment
The 3 ways to help the environment is conserving, cleaning up, and chiming in (talk about it)
For the last 200 years, humans have greatly impacted the environment
During the industrial revoiltuoon, there was more people that cause more pollution
Using nonrenewable resources cause pollution and will eventually run out
Humans need to take action to improve our environment for our survival
