What happens when humans cut down forests to build shopping malls?
Plants and animals thrive in the new environment and pollution decreases.
New animals species form and plants produce more oxygen.
The shopping mall reduces the amount of pollution in the area.
Habitat is altered, plants and animals destroyed, and pollution increases.
Many common products, such as wooden furniture, paper, and books, are made from trees. Which of the following is a likely consequence of humans cutting down a forest in order to make use of the natural resources there?
The decrease of chemical runoff into the oceans
Increased acid rain
The increase of light pollution in cities
The destruction of habitats
When fertilizers run off farmland into streams and ponds, the nitrogen content of the water increases. This can lead to rapid growth of algae in a process called eutrophication. How can this process affect other organisms in the water?
Oxygen is used up as algae is decomposed, reducing the amount available to other organisms.
The water becomes better able to support aerobic organisms.
The algae provide food for fishes and other organisms, leading to decreased algae populations.
The extra nitrogen provides additional food for the other organisms, increasing their population.
Conservation is the act of conserving, or protecting the environment, plants, and animals. What are some things you can do to help conserve our environment?
Leave water on, leave TV on, run dishwasher with 1 plate
Leave the refrigerator door open
Run the washing machine with 1 shirt
Turn off equipment when not in use
