Human Impact
Biodiversity
Climate change
Climate change alters temperature and weather patterns, impacting plant and animal life
Water pollution
Makes river biodiversity more vulnerable to climate warming, effecting the entire biodiversity chain.
Overfishing
Not only species being overfished die out, also other species relying on it therefore effecting the entire ecological chain (ecosystem destroyed).
-
-
Ocean acidification
Damage to tropical coral reefs, home to a quarter of all marine species, therefore effecting the rest of the chian; ocean will also take up less and less carbon dioxide - therefore an increased rate of global warming.
-
Greenhouse Effect
Deforestation
When trees are cut down, burned/allowed to rot, stored carbon is released into the air as carbon dioxide
-
CO2
Fracking
Releases CO2
200,000 metric tons of CO2
-
-
Water pollution
Dissolving carbon dioxide in the ocean creates carbonic acid, which increases the acidity of the water
