III. Present-Day Interaction between Humans and Abiotic Factors - Coggle…

- - - - Increased demand for energy and its impact on abiotic factors (e.g., fossil fuel consumption, renewable energy solutions).
    - - Over-extraction of groundwater and the impact of dams, canals, and reservoirs on ecosystems.
      - Urban water management practices (e.g., wastewater treatment, stormwater management).
    - - The effect of cities on local temperatures, altering local climates and increasing energy consumption.
- - - - Human-caused global warming and its effects on temperature, sea levels, and ecosystems.
      - The greenhouse effect and carbon emissions from industries, transportation, and agriculture.
    - - Current air pollution issues (e.g., smog, particulate matter).
      - Water pollution and the impact on drinking water, ecosystems, and agriculture (e.g., chemical runoff, plastic pollution).
    - - Overuse of soil, desertification, and erosion due to deforestation, overfarming, and poor land management.
      - Effects of chemical fertilizers and pesticides on soil quality.
- - - - Global agreements and local actions to mitigate climate change (e.g., Paris Agreement, carbon credits, reforestation).
    - - Advances in waste recycling, biodegradable materials, and efforts to reduce industrial emissions.
    - - Techniques like crop rotation, organic farming, and agroforestry to reduce the strain on land and soil.
    - - Technologies and policies for more efficient water use (e.g., desalination, rainwater harvesting, and drip irrigation).
