Smog
Global Warming
This is the contamination of an environment beyond natural correction.
Endangered Species
Extinction
Pollution
Habitat Loss
An organism facing extinction through destruction of habitat; the process may threaten the survival, abundance, or evolutionary development of the species.
Threatened Species
Endangered Species
Extinction
Habitat Loss
This is the ceasing of the existence of any particular species.
Threatened species
Endangered species
Extinction
Habitat Loss
A pathway by which a chemical element or molecule moves through both biotic and abiotic compartments of an ecosystem.
Biogeochemical Cycle
Chlorofluorocarbon
Pollution
pH
A process of land use change in which plants and animals which previously used the site are displaced or destroyed. Generally this results in a reduction in biodiversity.
Global warming
Extinction
Threatened species
Habitat Loss
A theory of overall increase in world near-surface air and ocean temperatures which may be caused by additional heat being trapped by greenhouse gases.
