- - - - Removing trees for farming and cities.
      - 👉cleaning destroying ecosystems
      - Damming and diverting rivers for electricity and drinking water.
      - 👉Creates flood plans – creates problems downstream
      - Mining valuable metals and fossil fuels in the Earth.
      - 👉Land which has been cleared is a no good
      - Dumping wasted material in the land, air and water.
      - 👉Atmospheric problem – hole in gone layer, global warming
  - - - Air pollution is
        considered to be the worlds worst
        environmental health risk today.
        
        High concerntartions of fine particles
        from traffic exhaust, factory and power
        plant emissions
        
        These are largely due to fuels such as coal and dried
        animal waste that are burned indoors for heating
        and cooking (mainly in developing countries).
    - - Ozone layer
        
        1970’s
        
        aerosol cans
        
        refirgerators
- - - - Changes - Changes occur very rapidly and are easy to observe, while others take place over millions of years and are almost undetectable for us
    - - Interconnection - Geographers use this concept of interconnection to better understand the links between places and people, and how these interconnections affect the environment and the way we live.
  - - - • themes issues – (cleanliness/salinity)
      - • unsustainable fairness futures
      - • Interaction
      - • To understand the world graphics, pictures and maps.
      - Change people in environment
      - A better world
- - - - are the natural products that can be used or converted by humans for our use
        
        for example, mineral deposits such as coal which we turn into fuel. iron ore which we use in manufacturing, timber from natural forests and food sources from crops to deep see creatures.
    - - process natural environment that absorbs our waste
        
        for example, micro-organsims in oceans break down oil spills. bacteria in the soil breaks down human waste, also called regulating service
    - - refers to personal relationships, deep connections to lands and experiencing time outside
        
        for example, people take bush walks to feel deeper connection with the environment.
    - - A.K.A supporting services are done for us by the natural environment that dot produce consumable rex.
        
        for example, wetlands filter water and slow floodwater, forest absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen.
  - - - Biodiversity refers to the variety of living organisms on the planet.
      - measured by the number of species present in a particular ecosystem or region.
      - Earth’s biodiversity is currently under threat, decreasing at a rate that rivals the mass extinction of the dinosaurs.
- - - - MUST be able to find places on a map
      - SHOULD be able to say what features a map should have
      - COULD start thinking about 6 figure grid references
    - - The vertical lines on the grid are called EASTINGS and they increase in value as you move EASTwards.
      - The horizontal lines on the grid are called NORTHINGS and they increase in value as you move NORTHwards.
- - - - Human beings are selfish
      - The environment provides living organisms with everything they need to survive (food, light, water and air)
      - This is why we value the environment
      - We also degrade the environment t
        o the point where we reduce the Earth’s ability
        to provide these essential services
