HUMAN IMPACT

Human Activities vs. Ecosystem Deforestation – The clearing of forest for: agriculture Lumber Palm oil IMPACT: eliminating plants that absorb CO₂ More CO₂ in the atmosphere Habitat loss for animals

Human Activities vs. Ecosystem Acid Rain – the precipitation that contains nitric and/or sulfuric acids.

Greenhouse Effect – the process by which atmospheric gases trap heat

Pollution – The addition of substances to the environment that results in a negative effect. Land pollution Air pollution Water pollution
