Natural Resources

• A form of commercial agriculture in which livestock graze over an extensive area.
• Raw materials supplied by nature
• The process of purifying water to make it suitable for consumption and utilization
• when CO2 dissolves in seawater, it reacts with water to form carbonic acid, which lowers ocean pH

Ranching

• The contact or effect that humans have on an environment.

Mining

• the excavation of the earth for the purpose of extracting ore or minerals
• The removal of trees faster than forests can replace themselves.
• the removal of salt from seawater to make it usable for drinking and farming
• excessive richness of nutrients in a lake or other body of water, frequently due to runoff from the land, which causes a dense growth of plant life and death of animal life from lack of oxygen.

Eutrophication

• water pollution that does not have a specific point of origin
• excessive richness of nutrients in a lake or other body of water, frequently due to runoff from the land, which causes a dense growth of plant life and death of animal life from lack of oxygen.
• a place where fish are raised for commercial purposes.
