3. *Did you ask your self
what is the reason why
we are suffering from
climate change or what
we called the global
warming?
*
4. Local and global
environmental issues
that are affecting the
community, these are:
Deforestation
Water pollution
Air pollution
destruction of coastal resources
Acid precipitation
5. *DEFORESTATION
one of the country’s
environmental problems is the
rapid rate at which trees are cut
down. And as a consequence of
cutting down trees are :
soil erosion
Floods
Decrease in wildlife
resources
6. *WATER POLLUTION
it usually happens when
there is an increase in
concentration of organic
nutrients in bodies of water.
Because of these the fish that
will eat the waste in the form
of algae will be poisoned and
die.
7. *AIR POLLUTION
one of the major
contributors to air pollution
are cars. Pollutants can enter
the air as gases, liquids, or
solids . Cars burn fuel and
produce harmful gases-
carbon dioxide, nitrogen
oxides, and hydrocarbons.
8. *DESTRUCTION OF
CORAL RESOURCES
coral reefs and coral
mangrove forest in the
Philippines serves as breeding
grounds and nurseries of
marine fishes. But due to
man’s activities, coastal areas
are getting destroyed through
the years. Some of these
activities are deforestation,
agricultural activities, and
mining activities, dynamite
fishing and muro-ami.
9. *ACID
PRECIPITATION
it is commonly known
as acid rain. Rainwater is
normally acidic, because
carbon dioxide is normally
present. Other pollutants
mostly sulfur and nitrogen
oxides, make rainwater even
more acidic with a pH of 5.6
or lower. Emissions from
factories and from exhaust
of motor vehicles are some
examples of pollutants. It
can be harmful to living
things.
