 Natural Disaster

• Natural event such as

flood, earthquake or
hrricane that causes
great damage and loss
of life.

 Flood
• Enourmous
rainfall causes
flooding
• Overflowing of
water from nearby
body of water.

 Flood’s Impact to Ecosystem
Land ecosystem:
• making homes uninhabitable causes physical damage to infrastructure
• damage to crops by oversaturating soil
• disperse of seed and trees
• lose of life to humans and animals causes diseases• detroy food stock
Marine ecosystem:
• water pollution affects marine species

 Earthquake
• Earthquake, any
sudden shaking of
the ground caused
by the passage of
seismic waves
through Earth's
rocks.

 Earthquakes’ Impact to Ecosystem
Land Ecosystem:
• destroy Infrastructure makinh homes Inhabitable
• may cause long lost species of plants to bloom
• may cause eruption of volcanoes
• lose of life to humans and animals
Marine Ecosystem:
• destroy corals
• disturb crustacean species

 Tsunami
• Usually comes
after a strong
Eartquake or any
extreme oceanic
or continental
crust disturbance

II-24 BSCIE BIOLOGY

S.Y. 2019-2020
 Impact to Ecosystem
Land ecosystem:
• destroy human and animal life
• destroy habitat
• changes landscape
• cause diseases
• buildings, bridges, cars, trees, telephone lines, power lines
Marine Ecosystem:
• disturb marine species

II-24 BSCIE BIOLOGY

S.Y. 2019-2020
 Man-made Disaster

• Disasters resulting
from man-made
hazards as
oppose with the
natural hazards.

 Mining

• Mining, process of
extracting useful
minerals from the
surface of the
Earth.

II-24 BSCIE BIOLOGY

S.Y. 2019-2020
 Mining’s Impact to Ecosystem
Land ecosystem:
• destroy landscape
• erosion, sinkholes
•loss of biodiversity
•contamination of soil
Marine ecosystem:
• contaminate groundwater, and surface water by the chemicals emitted
from mining processes

 Dynamite Fishing
• Blast fishing or
dynamite fishing is
the practice of
using explosives
to stun or kill
schools of fish for
easy collection.
II-24 BSCIE BIOLOGY
S.Y. 2019-2020
 Dynamite Fishing’s Impact to Ecosystem
Marine Ecosystem:
• disturb and destroy marine species
• destroy corals
• pollination to water
• destroy habitat for fishes

 Deforestation

• Deforestation is
the action of
clearing a wide
area of trees like
forests by
humans.
II-24 BSCIE BIOLOGY
S.Y. 2019-2020
 Deforestation’s Impact to Ecosystem
Land Ecosystem:
•destroy trees and animals habitat
• changes in wildlife
• increase temperature or climate change
• decrease number of plant species

 Water Pollution

• Water pollution is
the contamination
of bodies of water,
usually as a result
of human
activities.
II-24 BSCIE BIOLOGY
S.Y. 2019-2020
 Water Pollution’s Impact to Ecosystem
Marine Ecosystem:
• kills organism that depends on water
• disrupts the natural food chain
• contamination of water bodies
• water scarcity
• causes diseases

II-24 BSCIE BIOLOGY

S.Y. 2019-2020
 Air Pollution

• Air pollution is a
mixture of natural
and man-made
substances in the
air we breathe.

II-24 BSCIE BIOLOGY

S.Y. 2019-2020
 Air Pollution’s Impact to Ecosystem
Land ecosystem:
• causes respiratory diseases
• lose of life to humaj and animals
• damage trees and forest soils.Marine ecosystem:
• Air pollutants such as sulfur may lead to excess amounts of acid in lakes and streams,
and can damage trees and forest soils.
• Air pollutants such as sulfur may lead to excess amounts of acid in lakes and streams,
and can damage trees and forest soils.

 Kaingin
• Destruction of
forest and wooded
areas through
Kaingin system
and fires have
deprived birds of
their nesting
places.
II-24 BSCIE BIOLOGY
S.Y. 2019-2020
 Kaingin’s Impact to Ecosystem
Land ecosystem:
• aniimal’s habitat was destroyed, thus, it endangered wild animals
• causes new problem like air pollution
• soil erosion/ landslide
• destroy quality of soil

 Illegal Logging

• The harvest,
transportation,
purchase or sale
of timber in
violation of laws

II-24 BSCIE BIOLOGY

S.Y. 2019-2020
 Illegal logging’s effect to Ecosystem
Land ecosystem
• loss or degradation of forests,
• destroy habitat of birds, wildlife, biodiversity
• increases temperature
• loss of government revenue to human government

Impacts of Human Activities in Ecosytems

II-24 BSCIE BIOLOGY

S.Y. 2019-2020
 Soil Erosion

• due to lack of
trees
• tree roots holds
and keeps the
soil in tact.

II-24 BSCIE BIOLOGY

S.Y. 2019-2020
 Water and Food Shortage
• we only have a finite
supply of fresh
drinking water
• the lands become
barren and the
oceans become
fishless

 Loss of Biodiversity

• whole species of
living things
disappear due to
deforestation
