-reduction and depletion ( natural resources)

THREATS TO THE ENVIRONMENT

K-Kong

GREENHOUSE EFFECT
1. Sunlight enters atmosphere
2. Light (infrared rays) is reflacted back into space
3. Heat energy release will be absorbed by greenhouse gases in
atmosphere
Factors/sources
Greenhouse gases Burning of fossil fuel
CO₂ Deforestation
Animal farming
CH₄ Agricultural activities ( nitrogen
NO fertiliser)
Usage of cooling substances
CFC
4. Heat energy(not reflected) > increase average temperature for
earth.
5. Human activities=> increase of greenhouse gases => increase of
heat energy
trapped

Change in :
- temperature of the Earth Increase of sea Loss of flora and fauna (temperature changes)
- rainfall distribution levels ( melting of Loss of food sources and habitats
- wind ice at the pole) Climate change:
-El Nino

DEFORESTATION
- is an action of cleaning a wide area
of trees in a large scale
PURPOSE
Timber:
-construction work new areas
-furniture residential areas
-paper roads
mineral mining

loss of biodiversity
soil erosion , landslide
-loss of habitat and extinction
flash flood
of flora and fauna
climate change
Disruption:
- due to increase of CO2 that

-carbon cycle
- cause increase in temperature,
