For this assignment students are to generate a graphic organizer (like the one above) to show the relationship between
human activity and some of Earth’s processes. Must have 3-5 processes and explain how or why each contributes to the
climate changing. The graphic organizer is created to show and organize information and their relationships to each
other. For each provide an example and definition. Students should search each term to define how each contributes to
climate change and find examples. Many websites that can be used are found on the teacher’s website under resources.

Deforestation- Ex. tree cutting

The process of cutting down trees for building and construction. Lots of forests are
being cut down for a variety of human activities.
