Study Notes
Endangered Species
- Many species are at risk of extinction, facing potential disappearance.
- Protecting habitats and preventing deforestation are crucial for survival.
Animal Classification
- Animals are categorized by diet: herbivores (plant-eaters), carnivores (meat-eaters), and omnivores (both).
- Body coverings vary: fish and reptiles have scales, mammals have fur.
- Reproduction methods differ: mammals are viviparous (live birth), while reptiles and fish are oviparous (lay eggs).
Environmental Challenges
- Pollution and climate change are serious threats to the planet.
- The greenhouse effect, caused by rising greenhouse gases, leads to global warming and extreme weather events (floods, droughts).
- Pesticide use significantly contributes to pollution, harming crops and ecosystems.
Energy and Sustainability
- Energy sources impact the environment. Non-renewable fossil fuels (oil, natural gas, coal) are polluting, while renewable sources (solar, hydropower) are safer alternatives.
- Decreasing dependence on fossil fuels and increasing use of sustainable energy sources are critical for a healthy planet.
Conservation Efforts
- Conservation is essential for protecting ecosystems and wildlife.
- Preserving natural habitats and finding sustainable alternatives are key to a healthier future.
