The document discusses four main causes of extinction: pollution, deforestation, invasive species, and the greenhouse effect. It notes that pollution contaminates the air, soil, and water with toxic chemicals. Deforestation cuts down too many trees, reducing carbon absorption and oxygen production by plants. Invasive species can completely change ecosystems when introduced to new areas, sometimes killing native species. The greenhouse effect is caused by gases in the atmosphere that trap heat like the glass of a greenhouse, warming the planet. The author's home country suffers greatly from deforestation and species extinction. Examples given are the jaguar, threatened by habitat loss and hunting, and the anteater, endangered due to habitat loss and conflicts with humans.

- 1. Destruction of the planet by men Emanuel B. S. B. - 5º A
- 2. MY PROJECT ABOUT EXTINCTION 1.POLLUTION HAPPENS WHEN TOXIC AND POISONOUS CHEMICALS CONTAMINATE THE AIR,SOIL AND WATER
- 3. 2.DEFORESTATION HAPPENS WHEN WE CUT DOWN TOO MANY TREES. . CONSEQUENCES OF DEFORESTATION. THERE IS MORE CARBON DIOXIDE BECAUSE PLANTS WON´T ABSORB IT. THERE IS LESS OXYGEN BECAUSE PLANTS WON ´T RELEASE IT.
- 4. 3.INVASIVE SPECIES. WHEN THEY ARRIVE TO A NEW ECOSYSTEM, THEY CAN CHANGE IT COMPLETELY. SOMETIMES,THEY KILL OTHER SPECIES FROM THAT ECOSYSTEM. EXAMPLE SOME EXAMPLES OF INVASIVE SPECIES ARE:KILLER ALGAE, AMERICAN CRAB, ARGENTINIAN PARROT,ZEBRA MUSSELL, ALICANTO,ETC.
- 5. 4.GREENHOUSE. WHEN THE SUN RAYS REACH THE EARTH THREE THINGS HAPPENS. 1. SOME RAYS ARE ABSORBED BY THE EARTH. 3. SOME RAYS ARE CAUGHT BY A LAYER OF GASES THAT SURROUND THE EARTH. THIS LAYER OF GASES KEEPS THE EARTH WARM BECAUSE IT ACTS LIKE THE GLASS OF A GREENHOUSE. 2. SOME RAYS ARE REFLECTED BY THE EARTH.
- 6. IN THE COUNTRY WHERE I LIVED , SUFFER GREATLY FROM DEFORESTATION AND EXTINCTION OF SPECIES.
- 7. Jaguar The jaguar is the largest cat in the American continent, and can reach 135 kg. It is a robust animal with great muscular strength, being the power of its bite considered the largest of the felines around the world. The destruction of habitats coupled with predatory hunting due mainly to the alleged economic damage to livestock breeding causes populations to be severely reduced. The anteater is a "vulnerable" animal that in the State of São Paulo is threatened with extinction: at least 30% of the population of this mammal has been lost in the last ten years, due to the loss and alteration of their habitat, trampling, hunting, burning, conflicts with dogs and use of agrochemicals.
