pictures and were i got them

note with prezi

Easter island head

coral reef pic

sorry if this is not the way you wanted the pictures to be cited, I ust used the prezi picture search and got the links from the websites. Some of these websites citing were not helpful or not existing. Also I am so bad with prezi and do not really know how to use it, really sorry about this.

Environmental science continued

Environmental science= insight to our world

The environment is the world we live in and is composed of systems.

Genetic diversity

Environmental science is not..

is the measure of the genetic variation within a population, The more diverse the healthier the population is, and will be.

Biological diversity

Environmental science is not Environmentalism. Environmentalism is advocating for the environment....Environmental science is...well science. The study of, to learn.

we can use this information to tell if the resources humans use are sustainable

Species diversity

this is how much different organisms live in a certain enviroment, and exists on 3 scales, genetic, species, eco. diversity

a species is a group of organisms living in environment. If an environment has large species diversity, it means it is healthy. coral reefs have a very large species diversity!

this means they are a renewable resource and wont be used up by people if they are used properly and not abused

Average world temperature

Humans alter natural systems

ecosystems

due to more pollution and a higher concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, their is a greenhouse gas effect

Human needs and the footprint

Systems

Humans change and manipulate the world we live in. We do this in many ways. Making roads, cutting trees, burning fossil fuels. We effect and alter nature in almost every possible way. Sometimes we do it without realizing it. That is why we need environmental science to study it

Human well being depends on sustainable practices

are specific systems made up of Biotic and Abiotic systems

Humans have basic needs and need water air food and shelter, its more complex then that tho. we need community and the environment. People have a desire and a need to be in a healthy ecosystem

Systems are compontents that make up the enviroment. these components are made up of Ecosystems

Food production

the footprint

the future of human kind depends on being sustainable with our resources, and developing new ways to be sustainable. if we dont we might wind up like the eastern island people that used up all of their resources.

is an indicator. A healthy ecosystem will be able to provide lots of food. Although the huge growth in population of people is straining the environment.

Abiotic

Biotic and Abiotic

is a way of measuring how much natural resources we use. We are using more than we can restore. This is very bad and we are depleting them to quickly

Environmental science monitors natural systmes

means non living, for example a mountain or volcano

Biotic means living components and Abiotic means non living components

science..its methodical

this is used to tell if the world is under stress. We monitor is through environmental indicators

Ecosystem diversity

in Environmental science we use the scientific method, we use deductive and inductive reasoning, and in testing control groups and study groups

is how many different ecosystems reside in an environment. The more, the healthier it is
