Soil
Soil degradation occurs when soil quality declines, reducing crop production. It is caused by changes in weather, acidification, desertification, erosion, and salinization. Salinization happens when excess irrigation leaves salts behind in the soil, accumulating toxins or dehydrating crops. Nutrient depletion results from harvesting removing nutrients from soil faster than intensive farming replaces them, limiting plant growth. Soil pollution from improper toxic waste disposal, dumping of spent oils and chemicals, kills species and decreases biodiversity, harming the soil.

- Use a legible, proportionate font size that is easy to read
- Limit custom text animations and know your content well to avoid distracting from your message
- Interact with audiences by blanking the screen to focus on you or drawing on slides, but don't overuse animations
- Rehearse your presentation to feel confident and ensure your verbal message matches your visuals

Biological Oxygen Demand
The biological oxygen demand (BOD) measures the amount of dissolved oxygen needed by aerobic organisms to break down organic matter in water. Water with a high BOD cannot replenish oxygen fast enough to support aquatic life, potentially causing suffocation. BOD is normally measured over 5 days, with polluted water having a BOD above 5 parts per million. Thermal pollution degrades water quality by changing the ambient temperature, such as from careless discharge of heated water by industries or removing shading vegetation.
