Aim: How do we solve ecology problems? Return Weather & Climate Textbooks NOW !!! OBJ: Given activity sheet SWBAT solve a variety of different ecology problems with 70% accuracy.

Acid Rain Cause: burning fossil fuels (coal), factories Effect: Because weather moves NE, acidic lakes (fish die), land plants decline (leaf damage in forests) in NYS; dissolves, damage, destroy limestone/marble buildings, tombstones. Global Warming Cause: increase in greenhouse gases (CO 2 due to burning fossil fuels) Effect: polar icecaps melt, sea level rise, coastline flooding, property damage, habitat destruction, climate change, increase in storm ferocity (hurricanes, blizzards, tornadoes)

Industrial Revolution: burn coal to produce electricity Alternative (electrical) Energy Hydroelectric Dams: Beneficial: no air pollution Harmful: disrupts aquatic (river) ecosystem Wind Turbine: Advantage: no air pollution Disadvantage: intermittent energy Solar (Cell Array) Power: Advantage: no air pollution, reduce energy cost Disadvantage: intermittent energy (cloudy days, winter months)

Solar/Battery Power Car Advantage: no air pollution Disadvantage: intermittent use due to recharge time Recycling metal, glass, plastic Advantage: reduce pollution & landfill garbage, conserve energy & our natural resources Disadvantage: consumer has to sort garbage

Paper Plant: Harmful: air & water pollution, accumulation of waste, deforestation, habitat destruction, disrupt ecosystems Prevent damage: recycle paper (pulp), filter the air, replant trees creating new growth forests, treat wastes
