Science

a systematic guide to get how the physical world works by observations, measurements, and experiments

Scientific Method

Particles are packed closely together

Solids

a unit that describes the masses of individual atoms and molecules

atomic mass unit (u)

comes from the Greek word for "north," reflecting the fact that boreal forests occur mostly in the Northern Hemisphere

boreal

When gasoline is burned to power cars and trucks, it produces

carbon monoxide

a colorless, odorless gas.

carbon monoxide

Global warming causes

climate change

is characterized by permafrost, a layer of permanently frozen subsoil. During the short, cool summer, the ground thaws to a depth of a few centimeters and becomes soggy and wet. In winter, the topsoil freezes again.

The Three E's of Sustainability

environment, economy, and equity

these elements have formed the basis for disaggregating and elaborating sustainability

environment, economy, and equity

Examples of Nature Loss

fishing, hunting and logging

is when the sun's rays penetrate the atmosphere, but when that heat is reflected off the surface cannot escape back into space

greenhouse effect

carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, water vapor, methane, and nitrous oxide.

greenhouse gases

a receives more seasonal rainfall than deserts but less than tropical dry forests, tropical savannas, or grasslands, are characterized by a cover of grasses.

Tropical Savanna

is a major contributor to pollution of rivers and streams near coal mines.

. Acid mine drainage (AMD)

are non-living components, physically and chemically present and is prevailing in the ecosystem, they may be life-less but they contain the essential substances that provide balance to the survival of the biotic factors.

Abiotic Factors

refer to the non-living components of an ecosystem, such as temperature, water, sunlight, soil, air, and minerals.

Abiotic factors

can kill all the trees in a forest. It can also devastate lakes, streams, and other waterways. When lakes become acidic, fish can't survive

Acid rain

is a major environmental risk to health and is estimated to cause approximately 2 million premature deaths worldwide per year.

Air pollution

are released from both natural and anthropogenic sources.

Air pollution emissions

are organisms that are capable of producing their own food, they are self-nourishing organism capable of absorbing solar energy to make their own food through the

Autotrophs

a nineteenth-century Swedish physicist. research dealt with light being emitted by glowing objects, including the sun.

Anders Jonas Ångström

deals with the animal population,, their changes, behavior and their relationship to the environment.

Animal Ecology

Industrial pollution, cities pollution/urbanization, and agricultural pollution. Caused by activates near urban and industrial areas. Mostly, pollutants are concentrated and hazardous

Anthropogenic Activities

He also discovered sperm cells, blood cells, protists, and microscopic nematodes.

Antony van Leeuwenhoek

He was made one amongst the primarily recorded observations of bacteria when he studied the plaque from his teeth and also the teeth of several others. He noticed "animalcules" swimming within the saliva sample.

Antony van Leeuwenhoek

is best known for locating bacteria and creating quite 500 simple microscopes.

Antony van Leeuwenhoek

Natural Ecosystems are basically classified into two major types:

Aquatic Ecosystem Terrestrial Ecosystem

s are natural regions tormented by man's interferences. They're artificial lakes, reservoirs, townships, and cities

Artificial Ecosystems

states that all matter is composed of atoms

Atomic Theory

is the ecology of individual organisms

Autecology

distinct ecological communities of plants and animals living together in a particular climate

Biome

- all the organisms and the part of Earth where they exist

Biosphere

are living organism, everything that contains life, and is dependent to an abiotic factor or to another biotic factor

Biotic Factors

is common on the northern edge, Winters are bitterly cold, but summers are mild and long enough to allow the ground to thaw.

Boreal Forest

the animal-dependent organisms that mainly feeds specifically on animals.

Carnivores

He described 4,300 species of animals in his 1735 book "Systema Naturae" and 5,000 species of plants in his 1737 book, "Geenera Plantarum".

Carolus "Carl" Linnaeus

classified living organisms as being from either the plant or animal

Carolus "Carl" Linnaeus

He then turned to write On the Origin of Species by Means of action or the Preservation of Favoured Races within the Struggle for all times, published in 1859.

Charles Darwin

The numerous observations that he made aboard in the voyage of the HMS Beagle, he formulated a theory of species change, he termed descent with modification through the first means of survival of the fittest.

Charles Darwin

was best known for his work establishing the evolution by means of action.

Gas

fly in all directions at great speeds. They are so far apart that the attractive forces between them are insignificant.

He stated that it is a multidisciplinary science which aims to deal with many environmental problems.

Haeckel

Haeckel

the plant eating organisms.

Herbivores

are consumer; they obtain their energy to survive by consuming other organisms. They are classified into several categories:

Heterotrophs

Philosophy and Ethics.

Humanities

form when atoms loss or gain electrons.

Ions

The field of Environmental Science is divided into 3 main goals:

Learning Understand Determine

flow easily around one another. They are kept from flying apart by attractive forces between them

Liquid

Fixed volume, but take the shape of the container in which they sit

Liquids

Not much space between the particles, slides and flows with each other easily

Liquids

is anything that has mass and takes up space.

Physical Properties of Matter

eats the small organisms that drift in the water. They are herbivores and consume primarily phytoplankton or any suspended animals. Examples: Whale Sharks, Corals, Sponges, and some jelly fish.

Planktivores

deals with the relationships of plants and their environment.

Plant Ecology

are characterized by a semiarid climate and a mix of shrub communities and open woodlands

Temperate Woodland and Shrub land

contain a mixture of deciduous and coniferous (koh-NIF-ur-us) trees. These forests have cold winters that halt plant growth for several months. In autumn, the deciduous trees shed their leaves.

Temperate forests

demand nothing short of a transformation of the financial, economic and political systems that govern our societies today to guarantee the human rights of all.

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

was launched in 2015 to end poverty and set the world on a path of peace, prosperity and opportunity for all on a healthy planet.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development

grows in places where rainfall is highly seasonal rather than year-round. During the dry season, nearly all the trees drop their leaves to conserve water.

Tropical Dry Forests

a home to more species than all other land biomes combined. The leafy tops of tall trees - extending up to 70 meters above the forest floor - form a dense covering called a canopy

Tropical Rain Forest

looks muddy, smells bad, and has garbage floating in it.

Water Pollution
