Humans impact the water cycle by overusing it for household purposes & diverting it for irrigation. What are the effects of overuse in an ecosystem? joleykowski https://padlet.com/joleykowski/APES4/wish/292589557 2018-10-14 20:30:17 UTC https://padlet.com/joleykowski/APES4/wish/292589557 2. Humans impact the water cycle by clearing land/deforesting areas. What are the effects of deforestation on the water cycle in an ecosystem? joleykowski https://padlet.com/joleykowski/APES4/wish/292589558 2018-10-14 20:30:17 UTC https://padlet.com/joleykowski/APES4/wish/292589558 4. Humans impact the water cycle by contaminating freshwater sources with chemicals from pesticides, fertilizers, etc. What are the effects of these chemicals in an ecosystem? * joleykowski https://padlet.com/joleykowski/APES4/wish/292589559 2018-10-14 20:30:17 UTC https://padlet.com/joleykowski/APES4/wish/292589559 3. Humans impact the water cycle by burning fossil fuels, which releases carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) that contributes to climate change. What are the effects of climate change on the water cycle in an ecosystem? * joleykowski https://padlet.com/joleykowski/APES4/wish/292589560 2018-10-14 20:30:17 UTC https://padlet.com/joleykowski/APES4/wish/292589560 6. Humans impact the carbon cycle by removing a stored form of carbon (fossil fuels) and burning them, which release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. What are the effects of burning fossil fuels/releasing carbon dioxide on the carbon cycle in an ecosystem? joleykowski https://padlet.com/joleykowski/APES4/wish/292589561 2018-10-14 20:30:17 UTC https://padlet.com/joleykowski/APES4/wish/292589561 5. Humans impact the carbon cycle by deforestation/clearing land. What are the effects of deforestation/clearing land on the carbon cycle in an ecosystem? joleykowski https://padlet.com/joleykowski/APES4/wish/292589562 2018-10-14 20:30:17 UTC https://padlet.com/joleykowski/APES4/wish/292589562 7. Humans impact the nitrogen cycle by burning fossil fuels, which releases NOx (nitrogen air pollution) to the atmosphere. What are the effects of NOx air pollution in an ecosystem? joleykowski https://padlet.com/joleykowski/APES4/wish/292589563 2018-10-14 20:30:17 UTC https://padlet.com/joleykowski/APES4/wish/292589563 8. Humans impact the nitrogen cycle on farms by overusing fertilizer and having an excess of animal waste. What are the effects of excess fertilizer and animal waste in an ecosystem? joleykowski https://padlet.com/joleykowski/APES4/wish/292589564 2018-10-14 20:30:17 UTC https://padlet.com/joleykowski/APES4/wish/292589564
