1. Human impact on the Lithosphere

2. Population Increased population growth
Our rate of growth on the earth is at an exponential rate
Poorer countries are growing faster than 1st world countries
World population counter

3. Resources Limited amount Limited ability to transport
Fresh water, coal, oil, food, space, waste disposal, medicine
Limited ability to transport
Moving resources to places that need them
Not evenly distributed though out the earth
1st world countries - 3rd world countries

4. Carrying Capacity All biosphere have a limited carrying capacity
All organisms are interconnected

5. Destruction of the Lithosphere
Deforestation
Under ground mining
Strip mining
Over use of pesticides
Over farming of soil
Urban sprawl

6. Solutions Reclaiming of land Reclaiming of water
Mass planting of trees- Niihau
Alternate sources of energy
Solar
Wind
Nuclear
Geothermal
