Endangered
Ecosystem
9.1 Human Activities
that Endangered an
Ecosystem
 What are the humans activities that
threatened the ecosystem?
 What are the impact of human activities
on the ecosystem?
Pollution
 Pollution - Any undesirable change in the
natural environment caused by pollutant.
 Pollutant – substance that cause pollution
 Pollution – being make dirty
 Types of environmental pollution:
5. Air pollution
6. Water pollution
7. Soil pollution
8. Pollution caused by solid waste and
hazardous (dangerous) waste
9. Noise pollution
 What are the sources of
environmental pollution?
 What are the effects of environmental
pollution?
 How to solve problems related to
pollution?
9.2 The Greenhouse
Effects and the Thinning
of the Ozone Layer
Greenhouse effect.

 Occur when greenhouse gases

accumulates in the atmosphere to form a
layer of gases
 Greenhouse gases – carbon dioxide,
chlorofluorocarbon, nitrogen oxides,
methane and water vapour
 The layer of gases trap the Sun’s heat
around the world
 Greenhouse effect cause the global
warming
Ozone layer

 located in the atmosphere.

 consist of ozone molecules which
made up of three oxygen atom (O3).
 act as protective shield that absorb
the Sun’s harmful UV radiation
Thinning of ozone layer

 Main cause - chlorofluorocarbon (CFC)

 CFC – man made gases used as
refrigerant (substance that make things
cold or freeze) and propellants
(compressed gas that forces out the
content of an aerosol container)
 CFC when exposed to UV radiation will
release chlorine atom which can break
down ozone molecules in chain reaction
causing the ozone layer become thinner.
 What are the impact of global warming and
the thinning of ozone layer on the
ecosystem?
9.3 The Importance of
Proper Management of
Development Activities
and the Ecosystem
The need for development and the
effects of an increasing population on the
ecosystem
 The increasing in population cause the
increase in development.
 Development interfere the balance in
nature.
 Unplanned and unmanaged
development cause environmental
problems.
 Proper management of development
activities are important
The importance of proper
management of development
activities
 Natural resource are non-renewable
means once they have been used they
cannot be replaced.
 They need to be manage in proper ways
to maintain balance in nature.
 Uncontrolled use of the natural
resources will cause them to be used up.
The importance of proper
management of development
activities
 Carry out sustainable development to
balance the demands and the needs for
resources with the need to conserve the
resources.
Discussion

 In you group, discuss about the

measures taken in the management of
development activities.
Measures taken in the
management of development
activities
1. Implementation of laws
2. Use of technology
3. Education on the management of
resources
4. Preservation and conservation
activities
5. The practice of biological control
