Question

Many scientists worry that the influence humans have on the biogeochemical and hydrologic cycles will cause lasting damage to Earth. Make a list of the activities you perform in a day that may impact one of these cycles. Explain how you are interacting with the cycle and how that could be affecting your local ecosystem. What can you do to decrease your impact?

Answer 1

Answer:

Driving a car, smoking, burning of woods for heating purpose and cooking food.

Explanation:

Driving a car, smoking, burning of woods for heating purpose and cooking food are the activities that are performed in our home daily. These activities greatly affected the biogeochemical and hydrologic cycles by increasing the concentration of carbondioxide gas in the atmosphere. Burning of fossil fuels in the car engine and burning of woods releases carbondioxide gas that causes air pollution. The use of electric cars and electric heater can decrease the impact on these biogeochemical and hydrologic cycles.
