Human Impact
Purple loosestrife and zebra mussels.
Two environmentally friendly modes of transportation.
What is biking, walking, running, public transportation?
An animal at risk, responsible for pollination of many plants the ecosystem relies on.
What is the bee?
The variety of life on earth.
What is biodiversity?
An ongoing issue in Brazil, historically a problem at large due to significant amounts of cattle ranching.
What is deforestation?
The three "R's" that promote the use of fewer resources, cutting down on the amount of waste we produce.
What are reduce, reuse, and recycle?
Two ways the extinction of bees would impact other organisms.
What is loss of food and shelter from plants? May be other answers as well.
The greatest threat to biodiversity.
What is habitat loss?
The introduction of harmful contaminants into the environment.
What is pollution?
The earth is 70% water. Out of this, the amount of water suitable for human use is 10%, 5%, 1%, or 0.5%.
What is 0.5%?
True or false. Bees pollinate ~70 of the 100 crops that feed 90% of the world.
What is true?
Using resources at a rate where they can be replaced and the health of the environment may be preserved.
What is sustainable use?
The reason(s) nearly 60% of the coral reefs are threatened.
Coal, petroleum, and natural gas are examples of this.
Two factors that are contributing to the decrease in bee population.
What is loss of habitat, pesticides, or global warming (ie. temp and seasonal changes)?
Animal waste, raw sewage, and other resources rich in phosphorus/ nitrogen flow into a waterway resulting in significant amounts of algal growth.
Eutrophication
