Human Impacts:
Land Pollution- Destruction of the Earth's land surfaces, orften directly or indirectly as a result of mans activities and their misuse of land resources.
-
people can be exposed to toxins waste and chemicals
-
lung problems
-
harsh carcinogens
-
various types of cancer
-
Water Pollution- the process where any body of water is contminated by harsh substances.
-
hurts marine animals affecting the food chain
-
marine animals consuming toxins, then humans consuming the toxic animal
-
water acidity, and impure
-
toxic runoff, pesticides and herbicides are killing water life, and humans
-
more diseases throughout the human population
-
orgainfailures are increasing in number
-
generations are effected
-
Air Pollution- introduction of substances into the atmospher that has harmful/ poisonus effects
-
global warming
-
aerosol sprays
-
acidic rain
-
smog
-
respiratory diseases
-
acidic rain goes from animals then consumed by humans
-
lung cancer
-
Invasive Species- an alien species that is non- native that can casue economic or environmental harms or harm on human health
-
compete with native species for food
-
prey on native species
-
can cause or carry diseases
-
causes a decrease in biodiversity
-
after ecosystem conditions
-
carry diseases
-
climate changes brings them in increasingly and decreasingly plants in certain weather types
-
cost nations a lot of money
-
Habitat Destruction- the process in which the enviornoment cannot obtain natural processes.
-
reduction of biodiversity
-
population decrease
-
risk of extinction
-
climate regulation
-
pest and disease control
-
ecosystmes are more vulnerable to invasive species
-
loss of resources
-
animal poulation decreases
-
eventually no land to grow
-
agriculture
-
climate chnage
-
extreme weather
-
Deforestation- occurs for main reasons of trees being cut down to be used for other reasons.
-
loss of habitat
-
more jobs in lumber industry
-
future growth and lumber products
-
habitat loss
-
loss of home for humans
-
climate change
-
Global Warming- an increase in temperature that is caused by harmful polutants
-
ice an polar regions are melting effecting the sea levels
-
preceptation and temperature increased
-
migrating north animlas that depend on cold weather
-
carcingens
-
infections to immune system
-
respiratory systems
