Study Notes
- Landforms are natural features on Earth, with mountains, valleys, plateaus, plains, and hills being examples.
- Soil conservation, weathering, erosion, deposition, terracing, contour farming, crop rotation, and no-till farming are land-related concepts.
- Biodiversity loss is the decrease of diversity within species or species extinction, with habitat loss, invasive species, pollution, population growth, and overharvesting being major threats.
- Biodiversity loss has negative effects on the economy, food security, and ecological balance.
- Climate change is a gradual change in weather conditions caused by natural and human-made factors.
- Energy is the ability of an object or organism to do work and can be converted from one form to another.
- There are renewable and non-renewable energy resources, with wind, water, solar, biomass, and geothermal being renewable.
- Natural resources are consumed to meet basic needs, and conservation is the responsible and wise use of these resources.
- Conservationists promote responsible use of natural resources, while preservationists believe in not using them at all.
- Energy conservation is important because of the limited availability of fuels on Earth and the increasing demand for energy.
