Relationship between man and physical environment
- 1. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT Presented by: Mehwish Soomro Rizwana Soomro Ghulam Fatima Komal Mohammad Moosa Presented to: Miss Nargis Shamim
- 2. CONTENT Relation between physical environment and human behavior Man-environment interaction Human activities in relationship with environment Human activities and their impact on environment Human activities, utilization of environmental recourses and concept of sustainability
- 3. INTRODUCTION Environment means the surrounding condition that effect the lifestyle of living things. Our surrounding includes natural and manmade things. Human life gates effected by the environment and hence we find differences in the human life of different regions.
- 4. NATURAL ENVIRONMENT All component which come into existence naturally are included in natural environment . The landforms on the earth , the climate , soils , minerals , sunlight etc are component of our natural environment.
- 6. CULTURAL ENVIRONMENT In order to enrich his life man had used many natural resources and in this process he has brought many changes in natural environment . Human settlements , roads , buildings , dams etc have developed through this.
- 8. INTERACTION IN ENVIRONMENT There are many interaction between biotic (living) and a biotic (non living) components. All the biotic component depend on each other. Plants produce their food using solar energy. That means there is an interaction between abiotic and biotic components.
- 10. POPULATION GROWTH LEADS TO Industrialization Burning fossil fuels Non renewable resources Pollution Increased CO2 fuels
- 11. ACID RAIN Burning of fossil fuels released sulphate and nitrate into air . Sulphates and nitrates mix with water vapors in air and form sulphuric acid and nitric acid.
- 12. ACIDIFICATION OF LAKES Lakes and ponds can become so acidified that no life can live in them.
- 13. DEFORESTATION Population growth leads to the loss of natural habitats Cut down trees to build new homes Loss of biodiversity Loss of oxygen producers and CO2 eliminators.
- 14. POLLUTION Water pollution oil spoils Gasoline spills Gets into drinking water
- 15. HUMAN ACTIVITIES AND THEIR IMPACT ON ENVIRONMENT. Human impact on the environment or anthropogenic impact on the environment includes change to biophysical environment and ecosystem biodiversity and natural resources caused directly or indirectly by human
- 16. THERE ARE MANY CAUSES OF HUMAN ACTIVITIES AND THEIR IMPACT ON ENVIRONMENT Overpopulation Pollution Climate Change Water Pollution Deforestation
- 17. OVER POPULATION Overpopulation has grown into an epidemic, since morality rates have decreased, medicine has improved and methods of industrial forming were introduced. The effects of overpopulation are quite severe, with one of the most severe being the degradation of the environment. An increased population results in more) clear-cutting resulting in severely damage ecosystem without enough trees to filter the air , co2 level increases which easier the potential to damage every single organism on earth (Human continuously require more space which devastates ecosystem and increase co2 level.
- 18. POLLUTION (Pollution is everywhere From the trash thrown out on the freeway ,to the millions of metric tons of pollution pumped into the atmosphere every year. It also so bad that to date 2.4 billions people do not have access to clean water sources.
- 20. CLIMATE CHANGE Climate change is the closely connected to historical development of industry and technology. As global temperature increases. Earth weather patterns, will drastically change. The increase will impact weather patterns promising more intense hurricanes in both size and frequency as well as intensifying and prolonging droughts and heat waves . But air pollution does not just affect the environment. The evidence is mounting that poor air quality and rising temperature are running delicate ecosystem even leading to increased asthma and cancer rates in human.
- 22. WATER POLLUTION Every year 8 millions tons of garbage dumped into the ocean. Not only is garbage introduce into the ocean but also the excessive amount of fertilizer that find its way into the ocean through rain flood , winds or dumped in excess right into the larges producer of oxygen we have . Year after year millions of tons garbage is dumped into the ocean since the garbage mainly consist of plastic, it is largely indisoluble. Pollution is the number one threat to all aquatic life and is lead cause of reduced biodiversity.
- 24. DEFORESTATION With an exponential expansion in human beings, more food,, materials, and shelter are being manufactured at stupendous rates, mostly stemming from forestry. Forest are cleared to make way for new humans , which in turns , makes more humans you can see the problem. According to international data , an estimated 18 million areas of trees are clear cut each year to make way for new development and wood products. So we should have to stop deforestation Because with trees being one of the largest producer of oxygen for human, So such human activities need to stop if we will to survive
- 25. HUMAN ACTIVITIES IN RELATION TO ENVIRONMENT Human travels not only to move people and goods but also to build and maintain the related infrastructure roads, rail roads, airports etc. Human consumes energy through consumption of material goods, plants, we spend energy in many appliances, automobiles and in conversion of energy from one form to another. Another human activity is to fulfill their need of wood, paper products or to create new agricultural production which is done from centuries by deforestation and it effects our environment in many ways
- 26. UTILIZATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURSES An environmental resource is any material service from the environment that is valuable to society which in turn humans utilize to fulfill their needs. Water is one of the crucial environmental resource, human utilize it through drinking purpose, to cook food, to use it for hygiene purposes. Another worldwide used and most benefited resource is forest, plant and trees which human use for medicinal purposes mainly use it as food as main source of nutrition and also utilize as decoration pieces.
- 27. CONCEPT OF SUSTAINABILITY As natural resources are of two types renewable and non renewable so there is a need for awareness to preserve these precious resources for our future generations. Energy is the foremost and first most need of human beings or more correctly universe. In order to preserve for energy purposes we can use non renewable resources like solar energy, wind energy so they can last longer. Awareness about water conservation is important for that agricultural and industrial sectors can use effective and smart ways to consume water.
- 28. CONCLUSION We should use natural resources in the best interest of our needs and with a concern of our future generations who could then use minerals to mine and discover new elements from earths crust, use other resources such as plants for animal rearing who then can contribute in countries economy and further help to maintain a prosperous world. That’s all Thank you
