DO NOW! (answers)1) Renewable- Plants, Trees, Animals, Water.As long as they are not over used or made unusable to
pollution. Alternative- Uses natural resources and does not
produce air pollution (minimal at most)3) Coal-trees & plants buried in swampsNatural gas & Oil-animals in ocean died & buried
The Objective:
• SWBAT- Explain the consequences of human activities on the lithosphere (such as mining, deforestation, agriculture, overgrazing, urbanization, and land use).
other geological materials from the earth.Impacts: Habitat destruction, air & water
pollution, respiratory diseases
Deforestation the removal of trees to clear land for a non-forest use. (e.g. farms, ranches, or urban use)
Impacts: Increased erosion (washing away of top soil), loss of habitats & species
Agriculture (farming) the production of plants, animals for food, fiber, and other products used to support human life.
Impacts: water pollution from pesticides, fertilizers
Overgrazing when plants are exposed to excessive grazing for long periods of time, or without enough recovery time. (caused by livestock, overpopulation of wild animals, poor agriculture practices)
Impacts: Loss of biodiversity (variety of life)
Urbanization
the physical growth of urban areas as a result of global change.
• Write a letter to President Obama. In your letter, explain how we can improve our environmental and quality of life. You need to support your argument. Use what you have learned over the past few days, including what you learned today about the negative impacts of our actions on the lithosphere.
Exit Ticket
• 1) Explain 2 negative affects of mining?• 2) How does deforestation affect the
environment?• 3) What is another name for sustainable
agriculture?• 4) What is the cause of over grazing? • 5) What is a Heat Island and where does it
