Environmental Value (HUGDIN)
the usefulness of nature in providing food, timber and water
Utility value
why temperatures are generally warmer near the Equator than near the poles
Latitude
clearing of forests for farming, housing or industry
Deforestation
protecting environments from use or development
Preservation
two types of wellbeing indicators are used by geographers
qualitative and quantitative
species and ecosystems should exist simply because they have a right to exist
Intrinsic value
causes temperatures to decrease as altitude increases
extracting minerals and resources from the Earth
Mining
allows environments to be used but seeks to protect them for future generations
Conservation
A measure of life expectancy, education and income to compare wellbeing between countries
Human Development Index (HDI)
having lots of difference and variety in types of plants and animals
Genetic diversity
When moist air loses water and doesn't rain as much after it rises over high landforms
Mountain barriers
The release of carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere contributes to this global issue
Climate change
using natural resources primarily for economic gain
Exploitation
Name one of the three indicators used to calculate the HDI
Life expectancy, years of schooling, income per person
preserving cultural, historical and Indigenous connections
Heritage value

Distance from the ocean
Something that blocks river flow, alters ecosystems and displaces communities
Dams
the sustainable use of environmental resources.
Utilisation

Population profile
laces where evolutionary processes can occur without interference
Natural change
Name all four factors represented by the acronym DOMP
Dist. from ocean, ocean currents, mountain barriers, prevailing winds
Name four human-induced environmental changes
A, M, GG, D, IF, Over..., D, Urb
