ATURE OF ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

R ISSUES)
3RD REPORTERS, MAPEH-9 HEALTH
 DEFORESTATION
• It is the permanent removal of trees
to make room for something besides
forest. Most common reason is to
build or industrialize the provided
space.

Caption
• This type of occurrence affects us
and the living things around us,
deforestation affects our climate
that is so called “climate change”
 RESOURCE
DEPLETION
AND
ENVIRONMENTAL
DEGRADATION
Caption
• Resource depletion affects
environmental degradation in
which resources are used faster
than it can be replenished.
 POLLUTION
• Pollution is the presence of
harmful substances and wastes to
our environment.

• Most of the waste that pollutes our

environment is plastic, a non bio-
degradable material.
 CLIMATE CHANGE
• Climate change is the significant
variations affecting our climate, it
can be wetter, warmer or drier.

Caption
• Climate change can affect the food
we eat, the air we respirate and the
weather we experience.
• Climate change is mostly caused by
deforestation, transportation and
large amount of consumption.
OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
3RD REPORTERS, MAPEH-9 HEALTH
 FLASH FLOODS
• Flash flood is a rapid flooding of
low lying areas. Rivers, dry lakes
and depressions are places that
most flash floods occur.

Caption
• Flash floods may also be caused by
heavy rains, severe thunderstorms
and tropical storms.
 SOIL EROSION
• Soil erosion is a natural process that
affects all landforms, it is a natural
process that removes the top part of
the soil (Topsoil).

Caption • It can be done by water forces and

human farming activities such as
tillage.
 CORAL REEF
DEGRADATION
• Coral reef degradation also kwon as
coral reef destruction of the ocean’s
coral reefs.

Caption
• It is mostly caused by illegal fishing
such as throwing bombs, pollution
and other natural phenomena such
as earthquakes and climate change.
MOST COMMON SOLUTIONS
3RD REPORTERS, MAPEH-9 HEALTH
REFORESTATION
• It is a process where we plant more
trees to replace the removed ones.

PROPER FOOD
CONSUMPTION
• It is done by buying enough foods
that you can eat to avoid waste and
over consumption.
CLIMATE CHANGE
MITIGATION
• Engage or participate and support
environmental friendly practices.

AVOID FLASH AVOID SOIL
FLOODS EROSION
• Help your community by cleaning • Engaging to planting activities.
and mentaining proper sewerage
system to avoid flash floods. • Planting plants and trees bind the
topsoil together to avoid soil erosion.
PREVENT CORAL
REEF DEGRADATION
• Avoid polluting bodies of water and plant more plants to reduce the
chance of climate change heating up the oceans.
