Biomes
Give 3 examples of a biome in Africa
Savanna, Rainforest, Sahara,Sahel, or etc
True or false. Is water pollution dangerous
What is: true
This term refers to the uneven distribution of water resources among different regions or populations.
What is unequal water distribution?
In tropical regions, large-scale clearing of forests for commercial purposes such as agriculture or logging is known as this.
What is industrial deforestation?
Desertification is the process by which fertile land becomes increasingly dry and degraded, often turning into this type of environment.
What is a desert?
What is: A Biome has lots of greens and is known for its fast growth in lumbering.
What is: The Tropecle Rian forsest.
What is Water Pollution?
What is: Water pollution occurs when harmful substances
Women and girls often bear the burden of fetching water when it is not readily available, impacting their opportunities for education and economic advancement. This is an example of what kind of disparity?
What is gender disparity?
Deforestation can lead to the loss of habitats for many species. This term describes a species that exists only in a specific geographic area and is vulnerable to extinction.
What is an endemic species?
Overgrazing by livestock, deforestation, and improper agricultural practices are primary contributors to this environmental process.
What is desertification?
What biome uses camels to travel and trade?
What is: Sahara
How does water pollution happen?
What is: when water bodies such as rivers, lakes, oceans, groundwater, and aquifers get contaminated with industrial and agricultural effluents.
Unequal access to water resources can significantly hamper agricultural productivity, potentially leading to this condition characterized by insufficient food availability.
What is food insecurity?
The removal of trees reduces the Earth's capacity to absorb this gas, contributing to the greenhouse effect.
What is carbon dioxide
Desertification reduces the productivity of land, leading to food insecurity and forcing communities to migrate, a phenomenon known as this.
What is climate migration (or environmental migration)?
What is the Savanna climate like
What is:Humid
What are the effects of water pollution?
What is: Unsafe water, poor health conditions, reduced life expectancy, and poor quality of life
Tensions over unequal access to water resources can escalate into conflicts within communities or between regions, threatening this aspect of societal stability.
What is political stability?
Deforestation can exacerbate this phenomenon, where degraded land becomes dry and desert-like.
What is desertification
Desertification reduces the land's ability to absorb and retain this resource, leading to increased runoff and soil erosion.
What is water?
Which biome uses the Nile River to trade?
What is: Sahel
How does water pollution impact trade across Africa?
What is:lose their source of income, diminishing their quality of life and entrenching them in poverty
This term describes the process where excessive groundwater extraction causes the land surface to sink, often resulting from unequal water distribution.
What is land subsidence?
This approach involves managing forests sustainably to balance environmental, economic, and social benefits.
What is sustainable forest management?
This strategy involves planting trees and vegetation to stabilize soil and combat desertification.
What is afforestation (or reforestation)?
