        Food sources
      - Sinks
        
        Processes in the natural environment that absorb our waste
        
        Micro-organisms in oceans break down oil spills
        
        Bacteria in soil breaks down human waste
      - Services
        
        Things that are done for us by the natural environment that don’t produce consumable resources
        
        Forests absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen
        
        Wetlands filter water and slow floodwaters
      - Spirituality
        
        The personal relationships that human beings have with the environment
        
        The connection that Indigenous Australians have with the land
        
        The experience of spending time in the natural environment and the sense of wellbeing it brings
        Surfing, bushwalking, etc.
  - - - Causes
        
        Habitat change such as deforestation
        
        Over exploitation of resources such as fresh water
        
        Pollution of the land, water, and air
        
        The spread of invasive species
        
        Climate change brought about human activity
      - Hotspots
        
        A biodiversity hotspot is an area with unusual concentration of species, many of which are endemic (native).
        
        There are 35 biodiversity hotspots in the world.
        
        Hotspots have already lost 86% of their original habitats.
      - Impacts
        
        Threatens the structure and proper functioning of the ecosystem.
        
        Structure of the food chain.
        
        Humans rely of plants and animals to food and medicines.
        
        Increases the spread of diseases
        
        Impacts food security.
  - - - Impacts
        
        Biodiversity Loss
        
        Changes in temperature and rainfall
        
        Increase in natural disasters
        
        Droughts, floods, etc
        
        Ocean
        
        Temperature increase
        
        Sea levels
        
        Coral bleaching

  - - - Changes in the Australian landscape since the arrival of Europeans have altered salinity of the land
      - Large areas of native vegetation have been cleared and replaced with shallow-rooted crops and grasses
      - This means that much more water is held in the soil and so the water table rises, bringing with it the salt
      - Salt collects in low lying areas, killing plants
      - As water evaporates, salt is left at or near the surface, creating salt pans where nothing can grow
      - The salt also moves across the landscape turning freshwater streams into salty drains
  - - - Population growth was one of the main factors that contributed to the disappearance of the lake.
        
        There's an increasing demand for water within the region as the population continuously grows.
      - Climate change is another main factor that contributed to the decline of Lake Chad.
        
        The drying of the climate and the high rates of evaporation makes the Lake able to disappear quicker than it would've before.

  - - - An area reference allows people to find a general location in a grid square. Area references comprise four-figure numbers. The first two figures are always an easting and the second two figures are always a northing.
    - - A grid reference is a location on a map, which is found using the northing and easting numbered lines. Grid references are useful for helping a map user to find specific locations. Grid Reference. Northings. Eastings.
