Answer:

Acid rain, Air pollution (which affect the climate an greenhouse gases), overuse of pesticides,  water pollution, waste treatment and sludge, desertification.

Explanation:

      With the advance of urban areas, livestock activities and forest fires, the fauna and flora were modified. This has wiped out the continent's animal species, such as the lynx and the European bison.

     Desertification is a serious problem in Europe, caused by fires and human action. It results in poor soil fertility, land degradation and large areas of deforestation.

      Acid rain is the emission of polluting gases caused by the excessive use of fossil fuels, which come into contact with substances present in the atmosphere and form acid solutions that fall with the rain and cause many problems such as the death of plankton and fish in lakes and the erosion of outdoor exposed statues.

      Climate change is a problem that Europe is currently facing, research indicates the increase in the greenhouse effect, which is mainly due to the large increase in CO2 emissions. And this increase is a consequence of industrialization, of burning in the forests (accidental fires or due to agricultural practices).

      Rising sea levels, soil degradation and declining biodiversity are some of the consequences of these climate changes and one of the biggest environmental problems facing Europe today.

NEED HELP ASAP PLZ 30 points!!!<br> How do I describe the geography of Saint Petersburg Florida?
spayn [35]

Answer:

St. Petersburg is located on the Pinellas Peninsula in southernmost Pinellas County. It is surrounded by the Gulf of Mexico to the west and Tampa Bay to the east. To the north, the city borders Clearwater. The 345 miles of shoreline around the peninsula include the resort communities of Clearwater Beach, Dunedin, Indian Rocks Beach, Redington/Bellaire Beach, Madeira Beach, St. Petersburg, St. Pete Beach, Safety Harbor, Tarpon Springs, and Treasure Island. The Sunshine Skyway bridge spans Tampa Bay to connect St. Petersburg with Manatee County to the south. More than 20 barrier islands buffer the Pinellas Peninsula from the Gulf of Mexico, resulting in a calm surf ideal for family water activities.
