The human activity that clears land for agricultural purposes and destroys habitats.

What is deforestation?

100

Solar and wind power are examples of these type of resources.

What is renewable resources? 

100

The gas is mostly contributor to the greenhouse effect

What is carbon dioxide?

100

These species naturally occur in and are adapted to a specific ecosystem.

What are native species?

100

This logging method removes every tree in an area and greatly harms biodiversity.

What is clear-cutting?

200

The increasing need for housing, energy, and food is largely because of this factor.

What is human population growth?

200

Fossil based resources that take millions of years to form.

What are non renewable resources?

200

Visible form of air pollution is commonly visible in big cities

What is Smog?

200

Species brought to new ecosystems by human activity are known as this.

What are introduced species?

200

A more sustainable logging method where only selected trees are harvested.

What is selective logging?

300

When fertilisers run off into water bodies they cause this damage

What is eutrophication?

300

Major disadvantage of using coal, oil and gas for energy is the emission of.

What is carbon dioxide?

300

The effect where heat is trapped by gases in Earth's atmosphere is called this.

What is the greenhouse effect?

300

When an introduced species spreads quickly and harms its new environment, it is called this.

What is an invasive species?

300

This unsustainable fishing practice can destroy ocean habitats and overharvest fish.

What is overfishing?

400

The expansion of cities into natural areas is.

What is urban sprawl?

400

Limitation of renewable energy like wind and solar.

What is inconsistency? 

400

Using electric cars, solar energy, and biking to work are examples of this type of effort.

What is reducing air pollution or mitigating climate change?

400

One non-chemical way to control invasive species is to introduce these.

What are natural predators?

400

The variety of living organisms in an ecosystem is known as this.

What is biodiversity?

500

Long-term removal of natural landscape because of construction, mining, etc leads to this.

What is habitat loss?

500

This concept involves using natural resources  without compromising future generations

What is sustainability?

500

Climate change reduces an ecosystem’s ability to bounce back after a disturbance this ability is called what?

What is resilience?

500

Invasive species often succeed because these are missing in the new environment.

What are natural predators or competition?

500

Clean water, air, pollination, and soil formation are all examples of these.

What are ecosystem services?
