16. NATURE AND SCOPE OF ENVIRONMENTAL
SCIENCE

17. • Based on the song, we are presently facing many environmental
issues and concerns, including problem on the destruction and
depletion of our natural resources. This issues, concerns and
problems are interrelated, coming together as one great threat to
human survival and environmental preservation.
• Environmental science- it is the study of the environment, the
processes it undergoes, and the problem that arise generally from the
intersections of humans with the environment. It is the study of
patterns and processes in the natural world and their modification by
human activity.

18. Guide Question no.1
•What environmental problems happens in
your community or locality?
•Is environmental science important?

19. • Is this science important? In environmental science,
environmental concerns such as global warming, air and
water pollution, hazardous waste proliferation, garbage
problems, and depletion of biodiversity and other natural
resources are studied. Renewable resources or those
resources that can be easily be replaced should be preserved
and those non- renewable resources or those that cannot be
easily renewed should be conserved. This science will
enlighten us about the importance of protection and
conservation, and our indiscriminate release of pollution into
the environment.

20. Guide question no. 2
•What are examples of renewable and non-
renewable resources in your area?

21. Three main goal of environmental science
To learn how the
natural world
functions
To understand
how we human
interact with the
environment and
also;
To determine
how we affect
the
environment

22. ENVIRONMENT
• Literally, environment means the
surrounding external conditions
influencing development or growth of
people or animal or plants, living or
working conditions.
• The environment consists of four major
components.
1. atmosphere- implies the protective
blanket of gases surrounding the
earth.
2. Hydrosphere-compose of all types of
water resources

23. 3. lithosphere- solid portion
of the earth composed of
rock and soil.
4. biosphere- indicates the realm of living
organisms and their interactions with the
other organisms living in the
atmosphere, hydrosphere and
lithosphere

24. Environment is constituted by the interacting
systems of physical, biological and cultural
elements inter-related in various ways,
individually as well as collectively. These
elements maybe explained as under.
• Physical elements- these are spaces, landforms, water beaches,
climate, soils, rocks and minerals. They determine the variable
character of the human habitat, its opportunities, as well as limitations.
• Biological elements- these are plants, animals, microorganisms and
men constitute the biosphere.
• Cultural element- such as economic, social, and political elements that
are essentially man-made features.

25. WHAT IS YOUR
IDEAL
ENVIRONMENT?

question no.3

26. Environmentalist- an individual who
promotes environmental awareness
and advocates for the protection of
the environment.
Environmental scientist-
is a specialist who
studies, collects, and
analyses data pertaining
to environmental
conditions or problems.

the Butbut tribe in the
mountain village of
Bughay in the Cordilleras
and known for his
opposition to the Chico
River Damn Project.
