Question

If a forest ecosystem is removed through clear-cutting, many species of organisms that lived in that ecosystem disappear. Their loss is due to what

Answer 1

when fossil fuels are burned, they produce what, the mail greenhouse gas responsible for global warming trends.

Answer 2

Recycling slows the rate of waste going into what

Answer 3

PLEASE HELP. SCIENCE FINAL DUE TONIGHT.

Answer 4

When you burn fossil fuels, a lot of carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere. This is because these fuels have a very high carbon content, which then becomes a by-product of burning them. Other gases produced and released into the atmosphere cause acid rain, which damages crops and makes soil infertile.

Answer 5

Thanks!

Answer 7

by switching from fossil fuels to solar, wind, hydroelectric, and other renewable sources of energy, humans can BLANK the trends in biodiversity loss.

Answer 8

fertilizers and pesticides applied to farm fields in Pennsylvania have made their way down into the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. This is an example of BLANK pollution.

Answer 9

When a mosquito is on a human, it's an example of what relationship?
predation
commensalism
mutualism
parasitism

Answer 10

@Pumpkinhead317 do you think you could help me some more?

Answer 11

compare renewable and nonrenewable energy sources, and discuss the effects of each on biodiversity

Answer 12

...whoever can help me will get a medal...

Answer 13

PLEASE HELP ME!! I didn't get a science book and it's all online and I'm totally lost and this final is due TONIGHT... PLEEEEAAAAASSSSEEEEEEEEEE HELP MEEE!!!!

Answer 15

Climate change, air pollution, rising sea levels and species extinction can all be attributed to the increasing usage of non-renewable energy in the world today. Non-renewable energy reserves are diminishing and finite with an ever-increasing demand from countries around the world. Coal, natural gas and oil all have detrimental effects on the environment. These effects are both local and global, harming species throughout the world. As we consider different renewable forms of energy, can we rank their potential impacts on biodiversity.

Answer 17

The roots of a tree make gaps in the soil so that when it rains the water can sink in before being absorbed by the soil. These spaces also allow air and water to reach the roots of the plants. When trees removed using heavy machinery, the soil is pushed down and the gaps fill in. Because all plants and trees need that water and air to reach roots, the conditions become unfriendly for new growth.

Because the soil no longer can absorb the water, when it rains the water remains on the top of the soil and this can result in floods. The moving water also can completely wash away the top layer of the soil. This is called soil erosion. Without the top layer of soil, which is full nutrition, plants are not fed and find it hard to grow.

What we lose: About 24 billion tons of agricultural topsoil (the top layer of soil) wash or blow away each year.

Forests help produce rainfall. The more trees, the more water gets absorbed into clouds and the more rain falls. If the forests disappear, there will be less rain resulting in dryer conditions that eventually lead to drought. Once this happens, the damage is extensive making it difficult to plant more trees or plants later because the soil is so hard and dry.



The earth's atmosphere contains a number of greenhouse gases. Greenhouse gases trap the heat from the sun inside the atmosphere. Some greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane and water vapour. We need these gases in small amounts, but they can be harmful at high levels.

Forests help remove large amounts of CO2 from the air. They absorb the gas during photosynthesis. However, more CO2 is produced than all the trees can absorb when fossil fuels are burned, for example and when forests are cut down, even less CO2 is being absorbed leaving it trapped in the atmosphere.

As greenhouse gases build up, more of the sun’s heat gets trapped and that can lead to climate change (the disruption of the delicate balance of the earth's ecosystems). The added pollution in the atmosphere can also lead to acid rain when the gases mix with water in clouds. When this is deposited on forests it can damage the trees and the ecosystem as a whole.

Another harmful result of deforestation is the extinction of animal and plant species. They disappear because their environment and life cycles have been disturbed and they are unable to adapt to the changes. When species disappear, it is called extinction. Essential habitat is lost when forests are cut down; wildlife species lose their homes, their food sources and their place in the web of life. Even though extinction is part of life, it is happening far too quickly now.

It is estimated that as many as 150-200 species around the world go extinct every day!
