Study Notes
Human Population and Adaptation
- Human populations have adapted to various limitations including biological, economic, and social factors.
- These adaptations have influenced the management and usage of land and water resources.
Environmental Pollution
- Organic debris is a significant contributor to water pollution, leading to reduced oxygen levels and creating anaerobic conditions.
- Acid rain occurs due to emissions of sulfur oxides (SOx) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) from combustion processes.
Population Growth Dynamics
- The balance of birth rates plus immigration and death rates plus emigration indicates stable population levels, not absolute population growth.
International Agreements
- A convention is defined as a binding international agreement that is documented and governed by international law.
- Treaties typically imply stricter obligations compared to conventions and may carry social or moral implications for non-compliance.
Ecological Dynamics
- Biological extermination describes a scenario where a small population lacks the numbers to significantly affect their ecological environment.
Greenhouse Gases and Climate
- Greenhouse gases are essential for maintaining the Earth’s temperature, making it a habitable environment. Without them, life would struggle to survive due to extreme cold.
