HUMAN IMPACTS: LAND USE. More land is needed to grow food, to build roads and factories, and even to provide parks and recreation areas. As the human.

Soil Erosion Soil erosion is the movement of soil components from one place to another, usually from wind or water. Plant anchor the soil so that it is.

Soil Conservation. How do we use the land to change the land? Mining – rocks and minerals are removed from the ground for profit by one of two methods:

Other Threats to Sustainability.  Matter and energy are recycled throughout Earth’s systems:  Lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere.  Water.

Soil Conservation. Soil conservation means protecting soils from erosion and nutrient loss. Soil conservation can help to keep soils fertile and healthy.

SOIL CONSERVATION. BELLRINGER Franklin D. Roosevelt once said: “The nation that destroys its soil destroys itself.” What do you think he meant?

SOIL Soil is a valuable natural resource.. Why? Because everything that lives on land depends on soil. People & animals eat food that grows in soil. Plants.

Eutrophication What is it?. Eutrophication begins when nutrients such as nitrates and phosphates run off into a body of water.

Warmup Why might we need to deforest land? What is a consequence of agriculture?

2.2.1 Explain ways to mitigate detrimental human impacts on the lithosphere and maximize sustainable use of natural resources

Overgrazing Problem Solution Destruction of vegetation caused by too many grazing animals consuming the plants in a particular area Compacts the soil Plants cannot recover (grow back) Solution Rotate animals on plots of land/fields Don’t put too many animals on a single field

Erosion Problem Soil can lose its fertility (minerals, decaying matter runs off Soil runoff ends up in our water systems

Runoff from Farms Sewage and farm erosion cause nutrients to enter the lake Over-nourishment of the lake causes algae to bloom (grow a lot) Algae use up oxygen, fish die Dead things are decomposed by bacteria which produce smelly gasses

Prevent Erosion/Runoff Contour plowing Terracing Reduces runoff by trapping soil/water in each step So runoff does not continue down the whole mountain Groundcover Plants trap soil in their roots to prevent runoff/erosion Building and Protecting soil Topsoil soil takes a very long time to be made We need to protect or make more of it through compost so plants can grow Retention ponds trap runoff in one area Sediment fences buffer construction sites

Case Study: Slippery Slope With a partner (sitting next to you) read the case study and answer the questions (10 total) on a separate piece of paper.
