Strip Mining results in: erosion due to rain and wind local streams, rivers, and lakes filled with mud from rain runoff Results in loss of habitat & species

Produces: Sulfur Dioxide SO 2 Nitric Oxide

Acid Rain

Acid rain forms carbonic acid

CO 2 + H 2 O H 2 CO 3 (Carbonic Acid)

Burning of oil produces the same gases as coal Which gases are produced?

Nitrates from farmland fertilizers drain into a pond or a river. Algae & surface plants grow rapidly Plants beneath the surface die These plants are decomposed by bacteria and fungi All the oxygen is used up Most animals beneath the surface die as they can't respire.

Found in fertilizers & Acid rain Lead to eutrophication

Fish and eggs are sucked into nuclear power-plants in the water used to cool the reactors, Waste water that is super heated and released into local waters kill all fish and plant life Billions of fish, fish eggs die in power plants Posted 10/18/2008 1:07 PM

Global warming due to the greenhouse effect

Greenhouse gases & their origin

What other environmental effects will occur due to the clear cutting of forests? Habitat loss Loss of species Erosion

What are the environmental effects of renewable energy sources?
