Human Impact

Introduction to Human Impact

Human impact on the environment carries many negative longterm consequences.
Consumption, altering habitats, and carbon emissions are all human activities destroying the natural world.



Habitat Alteration

Habitat alteration is changing earth's natural compositing by destroying habitats to build upon or fragmenting habitats for roads and access. This is the biggest threat to biodiversity.



Pollution

Pollution is the contamination of Earth's atmosphere and surface (land and bodies of water).
Disposal of human waste results in land pollution, while burning fossil fuels results in air pollution. Land and air pollution affect water contamination.



Deforestation

Deforestation is the removal and destruction of forests.
Clear cutting completely removes all trees in an area for human consumption, such as building materials, paper products, etc.



Human Population Growth

The human population has continued to increase, which means human impact on the environment will increase as well.
Concerns include lack of space, food, and other resources, as well as disease outbreaks.



Acid Rain

Acid rain is caused by burning fossil fuels, which releases acidic gases into the atmosphere. The gases latch on to water molecules and the result is acid (low pH) rain.
Acid rain results in organism death and destruction of infrastructure.

In the atmosphere, water vapor and carbon dioxide absorb heat radiated from the surface of the Earth, and afterward, radiate the
Aleksandr [31]

When water vapor and carbon dioxide absorb heat and either radiate it into space, to other gases, or send it back to Earth, this is the <u>Greenhouse Effect. </u>

<h3>What is the Greenhouse effect?</h3>

This is the trapping of the sun's heat by gases such as water vapor and carbon dioxide.

When the heat is trapped, it can be radiated to other gases or radiated back to the Earth. This process is responsible for the rise in temperature noted around the Earth.

How do stars form? What color is our sun ?
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Hey!

Stars are formed from massive clouds of dust and gas in space CALLED NEBULAE. Gravity pulls the dust and gas together to form a PROTOSTAR...much like a baby star!

These gases come together, and as they do, the temperature begins to increase...

The finished stars are formed when the OPTIMUM TEMPERATURE is released for the chemical reactions within to start!

OUR SUN'S COLOUR IS WHITE! (Although its actually all the colours mixed together)

HOPE THIS HELPS!!
