- Increasing population and demand for food -> land available for these things must also be increased -> clearing habitats such as forests -> deforestation]]> 2023-06-02 03:54:03 UTC https://padlet.com/s2014010012/mga3qhxge0fri64z/wish/2612522725 Extraction of natural resources s2014010012 https://padlet.com/s2014010012/mga3qhxge0fri64z/wish/2612522850 - Natural resources are needed to make different products
- Many trees are cut down -> destroying forest habitats
- Some resource extraction takes up a large amount of space
- For example: Mining -> the land must be cleared first]]> 2023-06-02 03:54:16 UTC https://padlet.com/s2014010012/mga3qhxge0fri64z/wish/2612522850 Freshwater and marine pollution s2014010012 https://padlet.com/s2014010012/mga3qhxge0fri64z/wish/2612523027 - Human activities lead to the pollution of marine habitats

- Oil spills, contaminants and other waste pollutes oceans -> killing sea life and reaching coastal areas

- Marine debris, particularly plastic are washed in through storm drains and sewers

- Eutrophication occurs as farm fertilisers enter waterways

- Eutrophication: a type of water pollution caused by the addition of sewage or fertiliser

- Results in a huge decrease in biodiversity as a lot of aquatic species die from lack of oxygen

- Imbalance of environments
- Endangerment of animal and plant species
- Migration of animals
- Biodiversity loss
- Loss of human food sources
- Social tensions
- Poverty
- Starvation ]]> 2023-06-06 06:08:54 UTC https://padlet.com/s2014010012/mga3qhxge0fri64z/wish/2615498645 Food Chains s2014010092 https://padlet.com/s2014010012/mga3qhxge0fri64z/wish/2617937438 Food chain shows the transfer of energy from one organism to the next, starting with a producer.
- Endangerment and extinction of species
- Fragmentation of ecosystems
- Imbalance of natural environments
- Migration of animals
- Loss of biodiversity
- Loss of food sources
- Conflicts and wars]]> 2023-06-08 05:54:32 UTC https://padlet.com/s2014010012/mga3qhxge0fri64z/wish/2617937438 Example s201401079 https://padlet.com/s2014010012/mga3qhxge0fri64z/wish/2617957969 Many habitats are destroyed by humans to make space for other economic activities, or by pollution from these activities. Consequently, the biodiversity of many places is decreasing. This interrupts food chains and webs and means that more species may die because their prey is gone.]]> 2023-06-08 06:13:41 UTC https://padlet.com/s2014010012/mga3qhxge0fri64z/wish/2617957969 What is deforestation? s201401039 https://padlet.com/s2014010012/mga3qhxge0fri64z/wish/2627834174 - Clearing of trees (a large scale) -> to be used in a different way for land eg: building
- The amount of earth's surface covered by trees decreases -> causing an increasingly negative effects on environment ]]> 2023-06-20 05:58:33 UTC https://padlet.com/s2014010012/mga3qhxge0fri64z/wish/2627834174 Extinction of species s201401039 https://padlet.com/s2014010012/mga3qhxge0fri64z/wish/2627839081 - Forest habitats have a huge range of biodiversity and as habitat is destroyed, it causes the loss of large number of plant and animal species
- These species are only found in these areas ]]> 2023-06-20 06:03:47 UTC https://padlet.com/s2014010012/mga3qhxge0fri64z/wish/2627839081 Soil erosion s201401039 https://padlet.com/s2014010012/mga3qhxge0fri64z/wish/2627845922 - Tree roots help to stabilise the soil, preventing it from being eroded by rain
- Trees are usually take up nutrients and minerals from the soil through the roots
- The loss of soil will make it very difficult for trees to regrow ]]> 2023-06-20 06:11:43 UTC https://padlet.com/s2014010012/mga3qhxge0fri64z/wish/2627845922 Flooding s201401039 https://padlet.com/s2014010012/mga3qhxge0fri64z/wish/2627847510 Without trees, the topsoil will be loose and unstable -> easily washed by the rain -> increasing the risk of flash flooding and landslides ]]> 2023-06-20 06:13:29 UTC https://padlet.com/s2014010012/mga3qhxge0fri64z/wish/2627847510 Increased carbon dioxide in atmosphere s201401039 https://padlet.com/s2014010012/mga3qhxge0fri64z/wish/2627856591 - Trees carry out photosynthesis when they take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen
- Removal of numbers of trees -> less carbon dioxide removed and less oxygen increased
- When areas of land in forests are cleared for land use, the trees are often burned as opposed to being cut down -> increase carbon dioxide level and contribute to global warming ]]> 2023-06-20 06:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/s2014010012/mga3qhxge0fri64z/wish/2627856591 s2014010012 https://padlet.com/s2014010012/mga3qhxge0fri64z/wish/2663171527 This article shows that the causes of deforestation are farming, grazing of livestock and mining. This harms ecosystems, contributes to climate change, and increases the risk of diseases spreading from animals to humans. ]]> 2023-08-16 06:17:31 UTC https://padlet.com/s2014010012/mga3qhxge0fri64z/wish/2663171527 s2014010012 https://padlet.com/s2014010012/mga3qhxge0fri64z/wish/2667484000 In this article, biodiversity refers to the incredible variety of life on Earth, including plants, animals, and microorganisms.
