Front

What are the consequences of deforestation?

Back

Erosion and loss of nutrients in the soil, habitat destruction for wildlife, and increased greenhouse gas emissions.

Front

What technology can help predict severe weather conditions?

Back

Technologies that track air pressure, temperature, and humidity can help predict severe weather.

Front

What is the biggest danger leading to the loss of plants and animals?

Back

Destruction of their habitat due to human activities such as urban development, agriculture, and deforestation.

Front

What does condensation refer to in the water cycle?

Back

What is the sunlit zone in the ocean?

Back

The upper layer of the ocean where sunlight penetrates, allowing photosynthesis and supporting a diverse range of marine life.

Front

What is erosion?

Back

The process by which soil and rock are removed from the Earth's surface by natural processes such as wind or water flow.

Front

What is the role of precipitation in the water cycle?

Back

Precipitation is the process where water falls from the atmosphere to the Earth's surface in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail.

Front

What is habitat destruction?

Back

The process in which natural habitat is rendered unable to support the species present, often due to human activities.

Front

What are severe weather conditions?

Back

Extreme weather events such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and severe thunderstorms that can cause significant damage.
