• IT IS ALSO DEFINED AS ANY CHANGE OR DISTURBANCE TO THE ENVIRONMENT

PERCEIVED TO BE DELETERIOUS OR UNDERSIRABLE.

• THE PRIMARY CAUSE OF ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION IS HUMAN DISTURBANCE.

CAUSE OF ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION

A. POLLUTION - IS THE PROCESS OF MAKING LAND, WATER, AIR, OR OTHER PARTS OF ENVIRONMENT
DIRTY AND UNSAFE TO USE.
AIR POLLUTION NOISE POLLUTION
LAND POLLUTION LIGHT POLLUTION
WATER POLLUTION
CAUSE OF ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION
B. OVERPOPULATION - OCCURS WHEN A C. DEFORESTATION - DEFORESTATION IS THE
SPECIES' POPULATION EXCEEDS THE CARRYING PERMANENT DESTRUCTION OF FOREST IN ORDER
CAPACITY OF ITS ECOLOGICAL NICHE. TO MAKE THE LAND AVAILABLE FOR OTHER USES
OVERPOPULATION IS A MAJOR CAUSE OF MOST OF
THE WORLD'S PROBLEMS.
CAUSE OF ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION
D. OVER EXPLOITATION OF E. NATURAL CAUSES - WHILE
RESOURCES - OVER EXPLOITATION, ALSO ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION IS MOST
ASSOCIATED WITH THE ACTIVITIES OF HUMANS,
CALLED OVER HARVESTING, REFERS TO THE
THE FACT IS THAT ENVIRONMENT IS ALSO

RISING DAY BY DAY AND EVERYONE IS CONCERNED ABOUT
GLOBAL WARMING AND CLIMATE CHANGE AS GLOBALLY,
PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT STARTS WITH POLLUTION
