extinction
bad luck
The loss of a natural habitat is called
Habitat development
biodiversity
Pollution
Habitat destruction
Why is biodiversity decreasing?
Loss of habitats
Government protection programmes
Hedgerows are being introduced
Disruption to food chains
Which of these programmes would NOT help to increase biodiversity?
Introducing hedgerows between fields
Endangered species breeding programmes
Clearing more land to make landfill sites
Protecting rare habitats
Why are some people opposed to protecting rare habitats e.g. peat bogs?
It slows down development, the land could be used for more housing
They don't want to increase biodiversity
These programmes decrease biodiversity
There are already enough habitats
Why do some people NOT want limits put on deforestation?
It will reduce biodiversity
Putting limits on deforestation is ethically wrong
It could put their livelihood in danger, for example if they are employed to cut down trees
It could increase global warming
How could governments decrease land pollution from landfill sites?
Encourage people to recycle
Pay people to relocate
Put limits on deforestation
Introduce endangered species breeding programmes
Which of these is a greenhouse gas?
Oxygen
Nitrogen
Methane
Helium
Define the term ‘global warming’
a gradual decrease in the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere attributed to the gas effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, CFCs, and other pollutants.
a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, nitrogen and other pollutants
a gradual increase in the earth's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, CFCs, and other pollutants.
a gradual increase in the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere generally attributed to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, CFCs, and other pollutants.
rapid increase in CO2 then gradual decrease
CO2 increasing at a constant rate
constant levels of CO2 then rapid increase
Two reasons for the increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
Deforestation
Combustion
Bioaccumulation
Recycling
