  • What I Most Look Forward to in My Environmental Science Class is able to increase my knowledge when it comes to learning about ecology as that is a strong fascination of mine.

  • What I Think This Class Will Be About I think this class will provide me a basic intro into environmental science and build a base structure of knowledge for me to further my education.

Activity 3.3.1 Air Pollution Core Activity

-
 What is Air Pollution? There are various forms of Pollution and air pollution is one of the most common ways pollution occurs. This occurs in many ways some are from natural sources and others are from human activity which is known as gaseous air pollution. Some human activity that causes air pollution are industrial facilities and motor vehicles. Natural occurrences examples can be volcanoes and forest fires. This type of pollution can cause severe damage not only to the environment but also to us. Causes climate change, habitat degradation ozone depletion along with many illnesses and diseases that can potentially lead to death.   Three gaseous air pollutants Sulfur pollutants SO2 also known as Sulphur dioxide is a common air pollutant. Sulfur pollution occurs in both natural and human activity. Some of the ways this happens is from volcanos, and fossil fuel combustions such as the burning of oil, coal, and gas that contain sulfur. You can detect sulfur in the air a...

   map concept 1 illustrates the flow of energy in ecosystems, including how energy is transferred between producers, consumers, and decomposers. map concept 2 shows the value of biodiversity and the factors threatening it, focusing on species interactions and ecosystem services. map concept 3 presents the biosphere’s global ecological processes, including nutrient cycles and human impacts on the environment. Each concept map illustrates a different but interconnected aspect of the biosphere. In Chapter 4, we explore how energy is the driving force behind ecosystem function. Energy flows from producers (plants and algae) to consumers (herbivores and carnivores) and eventually decomposers, sustaining life and maintaining ecosystem balance. This energy flow is crucial for understanding the dynamics described in Chapters 7 and 8. In Chapter 7, the focus shifts to biodiversity, which depends on the energy and nutrient availability in ecosystems. Biodiversity increases the resilien...
