Earths materials that sustain life (air,

water, soil, lumber, food, minerals, energy,
etc.)

What are natural

resources?

Free services provided by nature that

allow life on Earth to continue.
Examples: nutrient cycling; climate
control; pollution control

What are ecosystem

services?

This root cause of

environmental problems
involves more people
producing more pollution,
waste, loss of habitat, etc.

What is rapid
population growth?

The use of this pesticide

led to the loss of
biodiversity in predators

What is DDT?

This major category of environmental

problem involves reducing the
totality of genes, species, and
ecosystems of a region.

What is biodiversity
depletion?

This type of growth rate

is constant over time

What is linear growth?

This type of growth rate

increases by a fixed
percentage of the whole
over time.

What is
exponential
growth?

The graph above reflects this type of

growth.

What is linear growth?

Answer 9

The graph above illustrates this type of growth.

What is exponential
growth?

This type of growth can be

used to model population
growth, rate of extinction, rate
of pollution, and rate of
poverty.

What is exponential growth?

A resource that is renewed

or replenished continuously.

What is
perpetual
resource?

A resource that can be replenished

fairly rapidly as long as it isnt used
faster than it is replaced.

What is
renewable
resource?

A resource that exists in a fixed

amount in the earths crust in a human
lifetime.

What is
nonrenewable
resource?

These resources never completely run out.

Before there is none left in the earth it
becomes too expensive to extract the
remaining small amount.

What is
nonrenewable
resources?

Examples of this kind of resource include:

fresh air, water, fertile soil, plants, and
animals.

What are renewable

resources?

The highest rate at which a renewable

resource can be used indefinitely without
destroying the principle.

What is sustainable
yield?

When a renewable resource is

used at a rate greater than its
replacement rate and the available
supply of the resource decreases
over time.

What is
environmental
degradation?

Overuse of renewable resources

that are common property to
everyone (air, fish, wildlife,
litter of public lands, etc.)

What is tragedy of
the commons?

This cause of the tragedy of the

commons involves focuses on the
activity of someone else to justify
personal actions.

What is if I
dont use the
resources,
someone else
will?

Examples of this kind of

misuse include: loss of
species due to habitat
destruction, urban
development of farmland,
and deforestation

What is
environmental
degradation?

This factor of the size of your

ecological footprint relates to
how you get from one place to
another.

What is the
type of car
you drive?

This factor of the size of your

ecological footprint involves
how you dispose of trash.

What is whether or not you

recycle?

The earth has only this many

productive acres per person.

What is 4.5?

The average Americans

ecological footprint is this
many acres.

What is 17?

If everyone in the world had the

same ecological footprint we
would need this many planet
Earths to provide natural
resources for everyone.

What is 3?

Final Jeopardy
When applying the environmental lesson
Protect the principle and live off of the
income, the principle refers to this.

Final Jeopardy
When applying the environmental lesson:
Protect the principal and live off of the
income, the principal refers to this.

What are Earths natural resources?
