What is deforestation?
The clearing, destroying, or removal of trees from an area.
What is pollution?
The presence or introduction of harmful substances or contaminants into the environment.
What are greenhouse gases?
Gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, that trap heat in the atmosphere and contribute to global warming.
What is climate change?
Long-term changes in temperature and weather patterns on Earth, often caused by human activities.
What is overfishing?
Removing fish from oceans or other bodies of water at a rate faster than they can reproduce.
What is biodiversity loss?
The decline or extinction of a variety of plant and animal species in a particular habitat or globally.
What is waste disposal?
The proper management and disposal of solid, liquid, and gaseous waste materials.
What is ozone depletion?
The thinning of the ozone layer in the Earth's atmosphere, primarily caused by the release of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
What is habitat destruction?
The process by which natural habitats are damaged or destroyed, often leading to the loss of biodiversity.
What is sustainable development?
Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
What are the effects of air pollution on human health?
Respiratory problems, cardiovascular issues, and increased risk of cancer.
What are the causes of deforestation?
Logging, agriculture, urbanization, and infrastructure development.
What are the consequences of climate change?
Rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and loss of habitat.
What are renewable energy sources?
Energy sources that can be replenished naturally, such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power.
What are the effects of plastic pollution on marine life?
