Game for two teems YELLOW and RED As in ordinary blockbuster, the teams have to cross the field The teams in turn chose tiles by number, in any order they want. But eventually the tiles should join at the sides. By clicking on the number of the tile the teams have to answer the question. Each good answer allows that team to colour the tile to their colour. One click on the tile (anywhere except the number) produces yellow, two clicks red colouring The first team to have joining tiles from their platforms crossing the field, wins. Ready? GO!

1 Destruction of forests and woods. It has resulted in the reduction of indigenous forests to fourth fifth of their pre agricultural area. Forests now cover 21% of the earth’s land surface. DEFORESTATION 1st click on the tile – the question appears, for the 2nd click - the answer

2 It is a naturally occurring process. Certain atmospheric gases, such as carbon dioxide, water vapour and methane change the energy balance of the planet by absorbing long wave radiation emitted by earth’s land surface. This energy is then used in a number of processes, including the heating of the ground surface, the melting of ice and snow and the evaporation of water. GREEN HOUSE EFFECT 1st click on the tile – the question appears, for the 2nd click - the answer

3 Contamination of water bodies such as lakes, rivers, oceans, and groundwater caused by human activities, which can be harmful to organisms and plants which live in these water bodies. WATER POLLUTION 1st click on the tile – the question appears, for the 2nd click - the answer

4 Precipitation that contains a high concentration of pollutants, chiefly sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, released into the atmosphere by the burning of fossil fuels such as coal or oil. ACID RAIN 1st click on the tile – the question appears, for the 2nd click - the answer

5 An increase in the earth's average atmospheric temperature that causes corresponding changes in climate and that may result from the greenhouse effect. GLOBAL WARMING 1st click on the tile – the question appears, for the 2nd click - the answer

6 A substance, such as nuclear waste or an industrial by- product, that is potentially damaging to the environment and harmful to humans and other living organisms. Some examples are: heavy metals and toxic chemicals used in industrial products and processes as well as infectious medical wastes and radioactive materials such as spent nuclear fuel rods. HAZARDOUS WASTE 1st click on the tile – the question appears, for the 2nd click - the answer

7 A severe depletion of ozone in a region of the ozone layer, particularly over Antarctica and over the Arctic. The depletion is caused by the destruction of ozone by CFCs and by other compounds. OZONE HOLE 1st click on the tile – the question appears, for the 2nd click - the answer

8 Excessive population of an area to the point of overcrowding, depletion of natural resources, or environmental deterioration. OVERPOPULATION 1st click on the tile – the question appears, for the 2nd click - the answer

9 The introduction of Chemicals, particulate matter, or biological materials into the atmosphere that cause harm or discomfort to humans or other living organisms, or cause damage to the natural environment or built environment. AIR POLLUTION 1st click on the tile – the question appears, for the 2nd click - the answer

10 A rise in the temper ature of rivers or lak es that is injurious to water-dwelling life and is caused by the disposal of heated industrial waste water or water from the cooling towers of nuclear power plants. THERMAL POLLUTION 1st click on the tile – the question appears, for the 2nd click - the answer

11 Abundant accumulation of nutrients that support a dense growth of algae and other organisms, the decay of which depletes the shallow waters of oxygen in summer. EUTROPHICATION 1st click on the tile – the question appears, for the 2nd click - the answer

12 Smoke or other atmospheric pollutants combined with fog in an unhealthy or irritating mixture. SMOG 1st click on the tile – the question appears, for the 2nd click - the answer

13 A tropical forest, usually of tall, densely growing, broad- leaved evergreen trees in an area of high annual rainfall. RAIN FOREST 1st click on the tile – the question appears, for the 2nd click - the answer

14 Fuel produced from renewable resources, especially plant biomass, vegetable oils, and treated municipal and industrial wastes. BIOFUEL 1st click on the tile – the question appears, for the 2nd click - the answer

15 A unit used to measure the distance that a food product travels from where it is produced to where it is sold or consumed. FOOD MILE 1st click on the tile – the question appears, for the 2nd click - the answer

16 Development that "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”. (Brundtland Comission) SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 1st click on the tile – the question appears, for the 2nd click - the answer

17 A measure of the effect that human activities have on the climate (measured in units of carbon dioxide). CARBON FOOTPRINT 1st click on the tile – the question appears, for the 2nd click - the answer

18 A mixture of decaying organic matter, such as leaves, wood and manure. It is used in gardening and agriculture to fertilize and enrich the soil. COMPOST 1st click on the tile – the question appears, for the 2nd click - the answer

19 Fuels that are formed in the ground from the remains of dead plants and animals like oil, natural gas and coal. They are not a renewable resource. When burned, they are a major cause of greenhouse gases and global warming. FOSSIL FUELS 1st click on the tile – the question appears, for the 2nd click - the answer

20 The area or environment where an organism or ecological community normally lives or occurs. HABITAT 1st click on the tile – the question appears, for the 2nd click - the answer

21 It is an area designated to receive household garbage, solid waste and construction debris. Also referred to as a garbage dump. LANDFILL 1st click on the tile – the question appears, for the 2nd click - the answer

22 A community of plants, animals and other organisms living in an area which provides what they need in order to survive. The different species depend on the environment and the environment depends on them. It can be as small as a tiny pool or as large as a huge desert. ECOSYSTEM 1st click on the tile – the question appears, for the 2nd click - the answer

23 Animals and plants in danger of becoming extinct. ENDANGERED SPECIES 1st click on the tile – the question appears, for the 2nd click - the answer
