Environmental Problems of the Earth
The environment is our physical surroundings. This includes both human (man-made), social, and physical (natural) features. Natural features include soil, the atmosphere, vegetation and wildlife. Human features include housing, transport and industry. Social features include things such as culture, language and political systems.
A variety of environmental problems now affect our entire world. As globalization continues and the Earth's natural processes transform local problems into international issues, few societies are being left untouched by major environmental problems.
Many people are concerned about human action in the environment. Human interference with the environment causes many environmental problems. Some of the largest problems now affecting the world are acid rain, air pollution, global warming, hazardous waste, ozone depletion, smog, water pollution, overpopulation, and forest destruction. Every environmental problem has causes, numerous effects, and most importantly, a solution.
Burning oil and petrol in motor vehicles puts nitrogen oxides (NOx) into the atmosphere. These gases mix with water droplets in the atmosphere creating weak solutions of nitric and sulphuric acids. When precipitation occurs these solutions fall as acid rain. Acid rain increases the acidity levels of rivers, lakes, seas and soils. This can kill aquatic life and vegetation.
