human impact

DDT

Insecticide that was previously used in massive amounts

Biomagnification

hurt birds as they are highest energy level

Acid within the rain

Greater impact on wooded (soil) environments as it changes the pH of the soil

Aquatic ecosystems

(changes pH) and overall content of water

Sulfur’s role in acid

Natural element found on the planet

- Into the atmosphere when things such as coal is burned

- Changes atmospheric conditions and reacts with water = sulfuric acid

Greenhouse gas-function/examples

-Trap in heat therefore causing temperature to rise/increase = global warming

Ozone-function

Blocks UV radiation naturally

renewable

restores naturally at a rate comparable to human consumption

non renewable

exist infinite amounts of replenish over geological time spans

Consequences of habitat destruction

- Destroys organisms habitats (homes)

- Reduce biodiversity
