When Acid Rain falls into the Great Lakes, it can harm the food chain and life cycle of plants and animals. This is because when fish are eating food, they may accidentally eat the poisoned water. It can also harm humans when they eat the fish that lived in the acidic water. Plants can suck up the water from the soil, making them die. This changes the life cycle because then plants and animals don't have a chance to grow and reproduce.

The acid rain can harm the food chain by killing the animals at the top of he food chain, which means the animals that are lower on the food chain will grow in population. This also can affect the plants because it can contaminate the water the plants drink.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing humans can do is move the factory  or create a cleaner fuel. Another thing they can do is do not throw waste in the lake, or  in  other words do not litter. Lastly, people can reduce car emissions.

# data[].attributes.body
Human activities cause pollution and disturbance of natural activities. Human recreation, jobs, and just everyday activities harm the environment. Since the Great Lakes are used for recreation, food and toys can be dumped in the water. Factories can dump hot water and contaminated toxic liquid. Everyday activities like using the restroom, cooking, and driving can also pollute the waters, causing Great Lakes to be altered by human activities.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing humans can help save the Great Lakes is to not built much factory. Another thing is to not drive much cars and nor to use too much fossil fuels. The last thing humans can help is to don't trash the beautiful beaches or anywhere!

# data[].attributes.body
Humans can protect the environment in the Great Lakes by stop building so many factories. Factories drop a lot of gunk/waste into the water and can be extremely harmful to environment and the water. Another thing humans can do is think about the environment for  once its actually really simple "DON'T LITER IN THE WATER." We don't even think about what we are doing, throwing waste/garbage into the water is really dangerous for the  animals that live in the water. The last way we can help the environment is by using pubic transportation or carpooling with a friend. Car exhaust is a huge cause of pollution and very harmful to the environment. This is three ways we can protect the environment in the Great Lakes area.

Acid rain affects the food chain because the acid can cause extinction of any species in the food chain. If this happens the species that eats the specie that has just gone extinct will be extinct. This will continue to happen until all the higher species go extinct and the specie under the extinct one will become overpopulated and eat all the lower species until all the lower species are gone. In the end there will only be one specie left.

Humans could protect the environment at the great lakes in many ways. First of all, they shouldn't litter. Trash and harmful things shouldn't be thrown into the lakes. Second, factories should find better ways to dispose of their waste, and thirdly, using public transportation can stop exhaust from going to the atmosphere and decrease acid rain that harms living things.

# data[].attributes.body
The acid rain in the Great Lakes can potentially harm or even kill animals in the Great Lakes. When one specific animal dies a chain reaction can happen. For example if some of the tiny fish in the Grate Lakes die than all the bigger fish wouldn't have anything to eat and then it keeps on going and going. Acid rain in the Great Lakes can be very harmful.

# data[].attributes.body
Three things humans could protect the environment by is burning less fossil fuels, having less car emissions and not littering anywhere but also close to the Great Lakes.

# data[].attributes.body
Acid rain can harm and poison plants such as grass that can later be consumed. The animals that consume these plants such as rabbits and mice and various insects can also get poisoned and perish. Then, the carnivores that depend on these animals for food, such as foxes and eagles will die of hunger. This chain reaction continues as the acid rain gets worse.

# data[].attributes.body
Acid rain is bad for plants and animals. They could poison or even kill plants and animals. If one animal or plant is killed or poisoned, other animals could get killed or poisoned when they eat these animals or plants. Since all animals depend on each other for survival, the entire ecosystem could get poisoned. If the there is acid rain in the Great Lakes and since there is many plants and animals that depend on The Great Lakes for survival, many plants and animals would get affected and possibly killed.

# data[].attributes.body
3 things humans can protect the environment is by not littering, putting factories far away from the Great Lake, and also not dumping and oil or dangerous things in the Great Lake

# data[].attributes.body
Acid rain is harmful to all environment and all living things including human.They kill plants, and animals by poison and possibly destroy the food chain by killing preys and predators and since living things rely on each other and eat them, the food chain will be broken if the acid rain problem keeps on going.

# data[].attributes.body
Human activity can cause different types of harmful pollution in the air and in the water.Many people don't care and just carelessly dump garbage, toxic liquid,or  plastic that can all harm wildlife. Animals eat plastic and get sick.Garbage has harmful compounds that can get to fish and cause them to die.Many people that come to the park just toss trash into lakes and go on to there day this causes fish to die which effects us because we eat the fish

The first way humans can protect the environment in the Great Lakes Area is to mine less near that area. The second way that  humans can protect the environment in the Great Lakes Area is to not throw trash or litter near the area or ANYWHERE! The last and final reason is not to drive cars too much

# data[].attributes.body
Somethings that humans can do  are
1. Don't liter or throw trash in the lake
2. Clean the area around the lakes.
3. Recycle

What happens is that when animals or plants get polluted it causes animals that feed on that animal or plant unable to. If that plant or animal is polluted, another animal eating that plant or animal will make it sick. That can cause extinction, as if the animals have nothing to eat their race will die out.

# data[].attributes.body
Three ways humans can protect the environment in the Great Lakes are by eliminating factories in the Great lakes area or moving them away from the area, using other chemicals that are safer, and by not littering and cleaning up trash.

the acid rain could affect the great lakes by the rain falling or slipping in the great lakes and this could affect the food chain because if one of the animals drink the water they could get affected and that could affect the food chain.

# data[].attributes.body
Acid rain in the great lakes can pollute the water, making small animals die of being poisoned due to toxins. If those animals die, the slightly larger animals that eat those animals will die of starvation. The animals that prey on those will die also. Along with that, the polluted water could severely harm a majority of animals in the great lakes that depend on humans for their own well being.

# data[].attributes.body
Acid rain causes pollution in the Great Lakes, which supply us (and animals) fish and water. If one creature eats the the fish or drinks the water it causes a chain reaction of acid rain damaging its environment.

# data[].attributes.body
when animals get drink the polluted water they can get sick and die if those animals start to die the bigger animals that eat those animals started to die they might die of starvation or they eat the sick  animal and become sick themselves. if all the animals become sick than the humans that hunt the animals might kill the sick animals and then they sell them in stores for other people to eat and they can become sick and possibly die and.

The three things that humans can protect the environment is by reducing the air pollution, use not much of fossil fuels, and burn them to not get so much acid rain that the precipitation can harm the plants and animals in the lake. The last one is water pollution that the new laws puts limits on the chemicals that the factories release that goes into the soil, and harms animals and plants that live in the soil, lake, and the air.

The environment in the Canadian Great Lakes are being altered because of the factories, and the chemicals in the air. For example, deforestation is happening because of the acid in the factory smoke, causing acid rain. This proves that the environment in the Canadian Great Lakes are being altered because of the factories, and the chemicals in the air.

# data[].attributes.body
The acid rain seeps in the Great Lakes causing a chain reaction fist it gets to the plants making them unhealthy then the fish eat the plants which makes the fish unhealthy. Then other animals drink the water or eat the fish. All of it results in a bad way for the environment , plants , and animals.

# data[].attributes.body
Acid rain in the Great Lakes affects the food chain and life cycle of plants & animals by killing off certain species, which causes others to not have food and die, and so on. I know this because acid rain is not good for animals or plants to consume, and if they do, they would die. If certain animals/plants die, this causes other animals higher in the food chain to not have food to survive, causing them to die, and so on. This would eventually get to the highest species on the food chain, and cause them to die, and there would be no one left on the planet. This is reasonable because I used known facts to explain a scenario that could happen in real life, in this case, the food chain and how acid rain can affect the food chain/life cycle.

Three ways the humans can protect the environment in the Great Lakes area is reducing air pollution by not driving vehicles too much. The second way is using safer energy resources. The third way is not burning too much fossil fuels.

# data[].attributes.body
The environment in the Canadian Great Lakes area is being altered by human activities because many industries choose place near the great lake to work. In factory they burn fossil flue and fossil flue will produce carbon dioxide that harm the atmosphere. This cause the problem of acid rain. Acid rain not just harm the water the water in the great lake and harm the thing around it. Burning of fossil flue is the main problem that cause acid rain, and the main human activities that alter the Canadian great Lakes area.

~one way humans can help the environment is that they can pick up the trash on the lakes or in the water.
~the second way humans can protect the environment is that we could try to not litter, because even if we don't exactly litter right on the lakes the wind gravity or rain could move it down.
~the third way people could try to protect the environment is that they could try to reduce the air pollution. like they could try to make limits for factories so that they do not release to much pollution. this is because when the water cycle happens the thing like air pollution that reaches the air comes back down as precipitation and that precipitation may end up going into the great lakes.

If there is acid rain in the great lakes it can harm the animals that get their supplement of water from there. It can also harm the people who are close by the lakes and use the water from there to drink because the acid can harm them, but if they boil the water, they will be fine. Also if those animals die, the food chain could die.

Acid rain in the Great Lakes region harms the food chain when the rain contaminates the water. When the water becomes contaminated the plants and animals in the water are killed. Other animals that depend on those for food cannot eat them anymore and soon they die as well. This keeps going on and on which greatly impacts the food chain

# data[].attributes.body
One way that humans could protect the environment is don't throw things into the ocean. The second way is try to use renewable resources more than non renewable resources. The third way is to pick up trash from rivers, lakes, and the ocean

1. Don't litter, trash should not be dumped/ thrown into the lakes
2. You can carpool or take public transportation to create less exhaust into the atmosphere.
3. Factories should find more beneficial ways to disposing their waste to make it safer and cleaner for the enviornment.

Acid rain can affect the animals by disturbing their mating rituals. another way is that the rain can be poisonous to the animals who drink can suffer very seriously.

# data[].attributes.body
If the acid rain poisons even the smallest organism that organism could be eaten poisoning the predator with may have not been poisoned before, this cycle goes on to going to bigger predators until an animal living in the Lakes becomes endangered or extinct. Also, if that prey gets wiped out the predators will have nothing to eat and die, this cycle too continues, until all the animals in the Lakes die, though all this is highly improbable, it could possibly happen before the animals adapt to the hunger.

# data[].attributes.body
If acid rain pollutes the Great Lakes, then microscopic creatures would die, then bigger ones because their food is dead, give it more time and the entire food chain could very well fall apart. Also, if people use it as a source of freshwater, they wouldn't be able to because the water isn't "fresh" and instead, it's polluted, leaving it dirty and unable to be consumed. (Unless you're insane).

# data[].attributes.body
Acid rain can seep into the ground or the water. Once it does that, the lowest level of the food chain will eat it. Then the next level. Finally the highest level of the food chain will eat it it and the cycle goes on for a long time. Also, if humans drink the water, they will become infected. The whole ecosystems, humans, and plants can all become infected.

# data[].attributes.body
Acid rain effects the environment because when acid rail falls from the sky it seeps into lakes and the dirt. When a small animal eats it and it goes up the food chain lots of animals can be harmed, not to mention humans

# data[].attributes.body
Acid rain will come down into the ground or into the water. Once it does, the lowest organism on the food chain will eat it and could possibly get sick. However, the second organism on the food chain will eat the animal that got sick, and that animal could get sick as well. Then the higher levels will continue this process, and many more than just one species will be affected. Humans could drink the water and get sick. As you can see, acid rain in the Great Lakes could effect the whole life cycle of plants and animals.

# data[].attributes.body
Humans could protect the environment in the Great Lakes area in three ways. One is to reduce the amount of pollution, more specifically acid rain, near the Great Lakes. Another is to prevent the amount of chemicals that leak into the lakes. Lastly,  people can start using more products that are safer for the environment.

# data[].attributes.body
Acid Rain can hit the ground then get washed into lakes, river, or other water masses or get absorbed in the grass.The animal at the bottom of the food chain gets infected by the acidic water and most likely get sick. The second animal of the food chain does not know about the contaminated animal and eats it. This continues the the largest animal in the food chain would most likely die.

# data[].attributes.body
If to much acid rain gets into the lakes it will make it so that the fish in the lake can't live there because of the amount of acid in the lake. When all the fish die the animals that eat the fish can't live because the fish no longer live in the lakes. Not to mention all the animals that drink the water from the lakes won't have that resource anymore. Pretty soon all the animals depending on the lake and its natural resources will die.

# data[].attributes.body
Acid rain in the Great Lakes region harm the food chain and life cycle of plants and animals because when acid rain falls into the ground and into the lakes, the organisms living there get poisoned. This interrupts the food chain because if one organism dies, its predator loses its source of food so it dies also, leading to its predator's death and so on.

Acid rain in the Great Lakes region is harming the food chain and life cycle of plants and animals because the acidic rain can fall into the lake, polluting it. If animals drink this, they can get sick or even die. If a healthy animal eats a sick animal, that animal gets sick as well. The chain would continue until the food chain gets disrupted. Animals that eat plants can also be affected. The plants themselves can die if they drink the acidic water Acid rain harms the life cycle

# data[].attributes.body
Acid rain in the Great Lakes region harms the food chain and the life cycle of plants and animals because a fish or plant can be poisoned by the polluted water from acid rain, and this can affect the food chain. This effects the food chain because the animals that feed on the lost fish or plant will lose their food supply.

Acid rain in the Great Lakes region harms the food chain because it poisons any organism that digests a contaminated (polluted) item. In addition, if another animal eats a poisoned organism, they will also be poisoned. This can affect the entire food chain because any animal that relies on that organism for food will lose their food supply. If acid rain continues, the entire ecosystem will be greatly harmed.

Some ways to protect the environment:
~Try not to litter because when it starts to rain, the trash could wash into a river/stream/delta and can eventually end up in the Great Lakes.
~Walk to wherever you need to go, so that you don't pollute the air which causes acid rain, or take public transportation also so that you don't pollute the air.
~Recycle things so that you cause less trash and so that it doesn't kill the animals that might find it in the trash or laying around.
~ Find ways to run on renewable resources and not burn fossil fuels because they cause large bundles of air pollution.
~ Try not to manufacture to much things; just enough for people to buy.
~ When planting crops, try not to use anything harmful that might  wash up into the Great Lakes.
~ Plant trees and other plants to cause erosion that will probably make the Great Lakes water more shallow after each rainfall.
~ Don't use to much water; turn off water while brushing teeth, don't ever leave the faucet on
