This layer in the Earth’s atmosphere is being depleted which may let in the UV rays that harms living things. D 100
ozone D 100
Pollution from car exhaust and factories may combine with water vapor in the air to form this type of rain. (It can raise the pH of lakes and streams, which caused loss of species.) D 200
What is acid? D 200
Clearing rainforests for farmland or firewood, destroys the “homes” of many animals. An animal’s “home” is known this. D 300
What is habitat? D 300

What is an algal bloom? D 400
This is the term for separation of wilderness areas from other wilderness areas due to human development of the land. (It can greatly disrupt habitats and cause local species extinction.) D 500
What is habitat fragmentation? D 500
Too much greenhouse gases, can lead to too much greenhouse effect, which can lead to this type of warming. E 100
What is global? E 100
Water, snow, sleet or hail falling to earth. E 200
What is precipitation? E 200
This is the process of water vapor becoming liquid droplets. E 300
What is condensation? E 300
This greenhouse gas contains inorganic carbon which may be released to the atmosphere by breathing, or burning fossil fuels. E 400
What is carbon dioxide ( CO 2 )? E 400
