Environmental degradation and destruction are caused by several interrelated factors:
Climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of natural disasters due to global warming. Rising temperatures and sea levels threaten coastal communities and ecosystems.
Overpopulation puts increasing pressure on natural resources. As populations grow, more land is needed for housing, agriculture, and waste disposal, degrading the environment. Demand for food and other goods also rises.
Globalization contributes to environmental problems through pollution from increased transportation of goods worldwide. Companies exploit resources unsustainably, degrading lands and ecosystems. Oil spills from shipping accidents severely damage marine environments.
Ecosystems are often harmed indirectly by these other factors. Species loss and

CLIMATE CHANGE presentation is prepared by Meena A S for school and collage students and teachers for easy understanidg of the concept, its causes, effects and solutions.
Climate change refers to changes in global weather patterns caused by human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation. This releases greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide that trap heat in the atmosphere. The Philippines has implemented several programs and passed laws to respond to climate change impacts like rising seas and more extreme weather. Programs educate people on environmental protection, promote reforestation and clean energy to reduce emissions. Laws regulate pollution, mining practices, and solid waste management to mitigate climate change impacts on health, agriculture and ecosystems in the Philippines.
The document discusses several factors that can lead to species extinction, including habitat loss, degradation of the environment, pollution, and climate change. It notes that habitat degradation is often caused by agriculture and urban expansion, which can limit resources and lead to extinction. Habitat loss occurs through destruction, fragmentation, or degradation, reducing the natural areas where organisms live. Environmental degradation is caused by depletion of resources from human and natural processes, such as pollution, deforestation, and global warming. Climate change is increasing occurrences of extreme weather and is driven by greenhouse gas emissions.
Environmental degradation occurs when human activities like urbanization, population growth, intensive agriculture, and increased energy and transportation use deplete natural resources like water, air, and soil and impact wildlife. It is caused by factors such as exhaust gases, pollution from industries and chemicals, and unplanned land use. The effects of major environmental problems include water and air pollution, water scarcity, soil degradation, deforestation, loss of biodiversity, and atmospheric changes. Potential solutions involve afforestation, conservation practices, renewable energy, and advocacy.
The document discusses human influence on ecosystems, including how the increasing human population over the past 300-1000 years has led to significant destruction of plants and animals. As population rose, consumption of resources also increased, depleting the Earth's natural resources. The document defines renewable resources as those that can replenish, such as through biological reproduction, compared to nonrenewable resources like fossil fuels. Pollution from human activity disrupts the environment. Conservation aims to balance human usage of the Earth's resources with maintaining ecological relationships.
Impact of human activities on weather and climateChirag5576
The document discusses the key differences between weather and climate. Weather is defined as the short-term atmospheric conditions of a place, such as temperature, precipitation, and wind. Climate is defined as the average weather conditions of a place over a long period of time, usually 30 years or more. Some key differences highlighted are that weather is the current conditions while climate describes the typical weather patterns of a location.

Natural resources are materials that come from nature and can be used by humans. Examples include air, water, wood, oil, wind energy, natural gas, iron, and coal. Resources are either renewable, meaning they can replenish themselves, like forests and animals, or non-renewable, like fossil fuels which do not replenish quickly enough to be considered renewable. Natural resources face threats from overpopulation increasing demand, climate change altering environments, and pollution damaging the environment.
The document discusses climate change and its causes and impacts. It defines climate change as differences in climate patterns over time, from decades to millions of years. The climate system is governed by interactions between atmospheric, oceanic, and terrestrial components. Human activities like deforestation and pollution can modify these interactions and influence the climate. The global water cycle plays an important role in regulating the Earth's climate, and climate change will significantly impact how water is distributed. Rising global temperatures also cause sea level rise through thermal expansion and melting land ice.

Climate change is caused by human use of fossil fuels which releases greenhouse gases. Adaptation strategies anticipate and minimize harm from climate change impacts. Examples include using water resources efficiently, adapting infrastructure to weather extremes, and developing drought-resistant crops. Ecosystem-based adaptation protects natural defenses like mangroves and wetlands to reduce flooding and erosion. Prioritizing vulnerable communities and integrating adaptation into development strategies can increase resilience to climate change.
The document discusses several key issues related to environmental degradation and pollution:
1. Pollution and environmental degradation come in many forms and negatively impact land, air, water and human health.
2. The largest polluters are often large-scale industrial operations that tend to cluster together.
3. Exposure to pollution can have varying effects from minor to severe, and sustained pollution usually impacts more people long-term than incidental pollution.
4. Access to clean water is vital for development but water scarcity impacts many people and threatens food supplies, economic growth, and international conflicts.
Huseina Abbas- Sea Change Powerpoint Presentation Section HHuseina Abbas

It notes climate change events accounted for 90% of disaster fatalities from 1970-1999. Preparedness strategies are presented to build resilience like reducing vulnerability, preparing for extreme weather, and risk assessment. Specific strategies for New Jersey are outlined like conducting risk assessments, developing local leader coalitions, and educating the public. The conclusion emphasizes the need for cooperation across sectors to address the future impacts of climate change.
This document discusses species extinction and how human activities have increased extinction rates. It notes that extinction rates are estimated to rise to 1% per year by the end of the century without intervention. Several threats to biodiversity are outlined, including habitat loss, invasive species, pollution and climate change. The document also discusses classifications for endangered species and reasons for preventing extinction, as well as some approaches to protecting species.
The document discusses environmental degradation and its causes and effects. It states that environmental degradation is one of the greatest threats facing the world today as it endangers ecosystems and human existence. Factors that contribute to environmental degradation include urbanization, population growth, intensive agriculture, increased energy and transportation, which damage air, water, and soil quality. As a result of degradation, the planet is facing problems like global warming, water scarcity, and climate change, which threaten global sustainability.
The document discusses issues related to land degradation, desertification, and their impacts. It notes that land availability and soil fertility are at the core of long-term strategies for poverty eradication, food security, and climate change adaptation. Sustainable land and water management can help improve water availability, biodiversity conservation, and build resilience through holistic governance.
Climate change is already causing impacts such as rising global temperatures, sea level rise, and more extreme weather events. Many models predict these changes will intensify in the coming decades and severely impact natural systems and human communities through increased wildfires, shifting agricultural patterns, and displacement from rising seas. Understanding past climate shifts and carefully planning adaptation and mitigation can help minimize harm from the ongoing and inevitable impacts of climate change.
This document discusses climate change and its impacts. It defines climate change as a significant change in weather patterns over decades or longer that can include changes in average conditions or more/fewer extreme weather events. Climate change is caused by both natural factors and certain human activities like greenhouse gas emissions. The document notes that climate change poses major challenges and will profoundly impact factors like health, food, air and water. Poor communities are most vulnerable to its effects. It raises issues of climate justice since less developed nations contribute very little to emissions but experience major impacts. Adaptation strategies are needed to help communities adjust to climate change impacts.
The document provides information about climate change and actions needed to address it. It begins with a review of verb tenses and irregular verbs. It then discusses the formation of the Earth, conditions necessary to support life, and some of the Earth's key attributes. It introduces concepts like global warming, greenhouse effect, and sustainable development. It asks the reader to consider what is known about the Earth and if these concepts are familiar. It provides a simple explanation of the greenhouse effect and discusses climate change. It poses two tasks for the reader to make lists about actions that are harming the environment and actions needed to improve the situation. It closes by asking if enough is being done to save the planet.
This presentation discusses climate change, its causes, effects, and measures to address it. Climate change refers to the rapid changes in climate patterns due to both natural factors like continental drift as well as man-made factors including greenhouse gas emissions. Key effects are global warming, floods/droughts, reduced food production, threats to ecosystems. Addressing climate change requires government policies, NGO participation, scientific research, social awareness, and individual action. The presentation aims to increase knowledge on this important issue.
The document discusses three types of environments: the natural environment, social environment, and physical environment. The natural environment encompasses all living and non-living things occurring naturally and includes climate, weather, and resources that affect human survival. The physical environment refers to the area where people live, work and play, and can influence mental/emotional health. The social environment is the immediate setting including culture, people, and institutions that one interacts with.

Negative effects: Damages forests and aquatic ecosystems, deteriorates infrastructure.
How we are trying to fix: Implementing regulations to reduce sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions from power plants and vehicles.
2. deforestation
Cause: Clearing forests for agriculture, livestock grazing, and timber.
Negative effects: Loss of habitat, biodiversity, increases soil erosion and flooding.
How we are trying to fix: Reforestation programs, sustainable forestry practices
Global warming definitions_clil_ceip_pl_riadevigo_2017riaenglish
In this segment of our Global Warming project, we created definitions to define the causes and effects that our students had brainstormed earlier in the year. With dramatic pictures of Global Warming effects, we were able to show the severity of climate change.
The document discusses various types of environmental conservation and pollution. It begins by defining environmental conservation as sustainably using the environment so that natural resources can continue benefiting humans. It then discusses four types of conservation: environmental, animal, marine, and human. Next, it outlines seven different types of pollution: air, land, light, noise, thermal, visual, and water pollution. For each type of pollution, it provides examples of common sources and their environmental impacts.
Natural resources are materials that come from nature and can be used by humans. Examples include air, water, wood, oil, wind energy, natural gas, iron, and coal.

The document discusses the environment and factors threatening it. It defines the environment as all external factors affecting organisms, including biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) factors. It then discusses several major threats: 1) population growth is a root cause of environmental problems as more people use more resources; 2) global warming is increasing due to greenhouse gases trapping more heat; and 3) habitat destruction is causing species extinction, particularly of rainforests, at an unprecedented rate.
Climate is the average weather over a long period and we expect it to remain relatively constant. CC is the single biggest long-term problem we face - the evidence is overwhelming. CC is a far greater threat to the world than international terrorism.
CC is not science fiction……and will soon prove to be a dead-end road for everyone. The key is actually discarding the idea that in order for a country to get rich, stay rich and get richer, you have to put more GHG in the atmosphere. That isn't true and it hasn't been true for years….. If we don't deal with this immediately, we will have island nations flooded; agricultural balance of most countries completely changed; a dramatic increase in the number of severe, unmanageable weather events and epidemic of unknown diseases. Our natural environment is very important in the aspects of peace because when we destroy our resources and our resources become scarce, we fight over that hastening CC.
Climate change has caused mass extinctions in the past. The document discusses 5 major extinction events throughout history that were linked to changes in climate, including temperature rise and carbon/methane levels. These extinctions eliminated 60-96% of species. Today, human activity like CO2 emissions may be driving a 6th mass extinction as amphibian, fish, and forest populations decline rapidly due to warming temperatures, pollution, and habitat loss. If trends continue, we could face a new extinction on par with past mass extinction events.
The document discusses several key environmental issues:
1) Deforestation, desertification, rapid population growth, issues with food production and distribution, global warming, ozone layer depletion, acid rain, air pollution, and ocean pollution.
2) Many of these problems involve resources that transcend national borders like air, water, oceans, and forests, requiring international cooperation.
3) Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide are trapping heat in the atmosphere and causing the planet to warm at an unprecedented rate, leading to more extreme weather, rising seas, and disruption of ecosystems.
1. The document discusses the importance of the environment and environmental issues. It defines environment and outlines some key goals of environmentalism such as reducing fossil fuel consumption and pollution.
2. It notes that the environment is our life support system and that biodiversity and natural ecosystems provide an estimated $33 trillion worth of services annually, such as maintaining air and water quality.
3. Many modern medicines are derived from natural compounds found in microorganisms, plants, and animals, and biodiversity loss threatens future drug discoveries as habitat is destroyed.
The document provides an introduction to environmental science, defining key terms and concepts. It discusses:
1) Environmental science is multi-disciplinary, drawing from various fields like chemistry, physics, life sciences, and more. It studies the sources, transport, effects, and fate of physical and biological substances in air, water, and soil.
2) The environment includes physical surroundings like climate that influence living things, as well as social, economic, and political factors. It has widened over time as human activities have expanded.
3) Understanding the environment is important because issues like pollution, resource depletion, and sustainability affect humanity. Public awareness of these challenges is needed to enact solutions that balance development and conservation.
This document outlines ecological problems and proposes a plan to introduce and address global environmental issues. It identifies the main ecological problems as air pollution from vehicles and industry, water pollution from dumping waste, radiation issues like Chernobyl, threats from earthquakes, deforestation, and loss of biodiversity. The document's aims are to determine key problems, provide advice on environmental protection, and suggest solutions. Tasks include showing different ways of addressing ecological challenges.
The document discusses the relationship between humans and the environment. It defines environmental science as the study of Earth's environments and how human activities impact them. It notes that all life influences the global environment through processes like consuming resources and polluting. Environmental changes can impact human health, so understanding these connections is important.
- The document discusses environmental pollution and its impacts. It notes that automobiles and other sources produce air pollution every day, harming the environment. While some people think pollution doesn't affect them, it is harming the planet and people's health through contaminated air and water. There are different types of environmental pollution including water, air, and atmospheric pollution. The document advocates for preventing air pollution to avoid issues like global warming, melting ice caps, and rising sea levels that could flood coastal cities. Water pollution from sources like oil spills is also discussed as a major threat.
This document discusses mass extinction events that have occurred throughout history. It provides details on 5 major extinction events, including their timing in millions of years ago and potential causes such as asteroid impacts, volcanic activity, and climate change. Causes of species extinction are also explored, including climate change, changes in sea levels/currents, asteroids/cosmic radiation, acid rain, disease, invasive species, habitat loss, pollution, and human population growth.

This document discusses the relationship between humans and their environment. It defines the environment as the natural world that supports human life, including biotic factors like other organisms and abiotic factors like climate. The Earth's biosphere provides resources and conditions necessary to sustain life. However, human activities like pollution, deforestation, and unsustainable resource extraction have negatively impacted the environment. If these practices are not addressed, they could undermine the stability of the global ecosystem and human well-being. International agreements like the 1992 UN Earth Summit aimed to promote more sustainable stewardship of the planet and its resources to ensure long-term environmental health and human progress.
Wildlife management - threats to wildlifeAnish Gawande
There are few places left on the planet where the impact of people has not been felt. We have explored and left our footprint on nearly every corner of the globe. As our population and needs grow, we are leaving less and less room for wildlife.
Wildlife are under threat from many different kinds of human activities, from directly destroying habitat to spreading invasive species and disease. Most ecosystems are facing multiple threats. Each new threat puts additional stress on already weakened ecosystems and their wildlife.
Environment or Habitat – the surroundings of the living species. Environment consists of both living and non-living things.
Living things - such as animals, plants, etc and non-living things such as land, soil, water etc.
Effect of Rainfall Trend on Yam Yield in Mokwa Local Government Area of Niger...CrimsonpublishersEAES
This document discusses the effect of rainfall trends on yam production in Mokwa Local Government Area of Niger State, Nigeria. It finds that the mean annual rainfall in the study area has increased minimally but significantly over time. There is a strong positive relationship between rainfall variation and yam yield, with higher yields occurring in years with more rainfall. The timing of rainfall also influences yam yields, with farmers needing to adjust planting times to coincide with established rainy seasons to avoid losses. While climate change poses threats to agricultural production, the duration and frequency of rainfall in the study area remain sufficient to support farming activities. However, adjustments to farming practices may be needed to cope with changing rainfall patterns.

There was a time when Man was the son of nature, interacting and part of the whole process of life. Then, as his fate, man progressed, invented, produced, flourished and finally prevailed on earth. He created artificial systems in which he lived, and at times seemed so close to being protected and safe from any natural phenomenal impact. Then he realized that his own creation, byproducts, beside his aggression against his own kind were being his enemy. In recent years, disasters increased in frequency, where grade 4 or more, hurricanes attacked the southern parts of the USA, as well in Asia. Large ice bergs cracked in Greenland, North and South poles, dissolving in the sea. There is an increase or rise of the Sea level, although it is few cms a year but it became a reality

This study characterized the Kainji reservoir system in Nigeria by calculating the resilience index (m) using inflow data from 1990-2014. Different demand levels from 0 to 0.8 were used to calculate m based on the coefficient of variation and Vogel-Stedinger relationship. The results showed that m was above 1 for all demand levels except 0.8, indicating the reservoir behaves as a within year system with quick refill times. Higher demand levels decreased reservoir resilience. Therefore, the Kainji reservoir was characterized as a reliable within year system for hydropower generation.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
ENVIRONMENT~ Renewable Energy Sources and their future prospects.tiwarimanvi3129
This presentation is for us to know that how our Environment need Attention for protection of our natural resources which are depleted day by day that's why we need to take time and shift our attention to renewable energy sources instead of non-renewable sources which are better and Eco-friendly for our environment. these renewable energy sources are so helpful for our planet and for every living organism which depends on environment.
Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Climate Change All over the World .pptxsairaanwer024
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
