A in-Depth Guide To Environment : Everything You Need To know
Worried about
enviroment ! But what it exactly means ? what exactly it is consisted of ?
Today we will simply guide you about it's parts , ecology and science related to it.
We will also discuss about its pollution and causes .
And also what it's impact on humans which no one will tell you about ?
Let's dive in.
What Is Enviroment ?
"Environment" is derived from a french word "environner" which means encircle or surrounding . It include all the biological and non biological things surrounding an organism.
It is combination of water air and land . It is interrelation ship among themselves and also with human beings, other organisms and property .
It Can be defined as external surrounding and conditions which directly or indirectly affect the living organism .
It is divided into two part
1)Biotic
2) Abiotic
~>Biotic includes all living organisms (plants animals microorganism including their reaction interaction and interrelated action.
~>Abiotic contain Physical factors like temperature, humidity water soil gases etc.It provides both habitation and raw materials for the Synthesis of organic food.
Hey do you want to know some extra information related to Environment.
If you want then we are providing you this to you, if not then skip from this part .
Ecology
Ecology word derived from two Greek word "oikos" meaning house habitation or place of living and "logos" meaning of study.
Ecosystem is the study of the interrelations between living, organisms and their physical and biological surrounding.
It means study of includes enviroment includes light and heat or Solar radiation, moisture, wind and oxygen etc also.
Ecosystem
Ecosystem is made up two word "eco" and "system" means environment and system means Interacting.The organisms of any community organisms besides interacting among themselves always have functional relationship with environment
This structural and functional System of communities and environment is called ecology system or ecosystem
Environmental Science
Scientific Study of our environment and our place is called Environment Science .Environmental science is the Study of earth, air, water, living organisms and the man with his impact on it.
Environmental Pollution
Environmental pollution define any undesirable Change in the physical or biological characteristics of any component of it which can cause harmful effects on various forms of life or property
Environmental pollution is causes by mainly Natural and man made reason .
Cause of man made environmental pollution
->Rapid industrialization
->Population growth
->unplanned Urbanization
There are various types of environment pollution
1)
Air pollution
2) Water Pollution
3) Noise Pollution
4)Land pollution
5)Thermal Pollution
Impact of Human on Environment
Humans are only living organisms which modifies their surroundings according to the need Other animals Change themselves according to their Surroundings.
First humans start hunting Other animals and Cutting trees for his basic need. Then to increase their comfort they started large scale deforestation, increasing quantity carbon di oxide due to burning of crop and forest .
Then industrial revolution changed whole scenario. Then
they started using fossil fuels to generation of power, running their vehicle many, industries were started to make the products which increased the living standard. Result of this was increasing of co2 and all type of pollution.
That started producing new problems like ozone layer depletion, climate change, quality of carbon dioxide emitted increased tremendously which has started showing effects in the form of global warming .
Today ,scientists estimate that 36,500 species of plants and animals becomes extinct each year, because af human activities . One million Spices will become extinct over the next 20 years years.
About 8.1 million Sq. Km once productive ( cropland , grassland have now become desert in the last 50 years. Each year about 61000 square kilometer new deserts are formed.
Topsoil is eroding faster than it forms an about 35% the World cropland. Crop productivity on third of the Earth's irrigated has been reduced by Salt built - up in top soil.
Environmental Degradation
The alarming rate of population growth followed by the Increasing standard living has put excessive pressure on all the natural resources.
In order to meet the basic needs, there is rapid de forestation. industrialization and unplanned.
Environmental degradation is defined as the overall lowering of it qualities due to the damage caused by both natural events and humans activities in the basic structure of the environment at local, regional and global level adversely affecting all living organisms Including man.
To explain the impact (I.) the proposed three factor model in a given area comprises of
The population Size (P)
Per capita consumption of resource (A)
Degradation pollution caused peer unit of resources used (T)
I = PxAXT
Some natural event that cause Environmental degradation are volcanic eruption , forest fire earthquakes, floods.
