Effect Of Science

Resources which replenish at the same time or faster rate than the rate at which they are used

Gases which when present in elevated quantities in earths atmosphere, trap solar radiation and cause the planet to warm

The number of different types of species in an area

Resources which will be depleted faster than they can be replenished

Renewable resources made from plant and animal matter

Rain with a lower pH than neutral acid rain is corrosive to many substances, including rocks. often caused by pollution

And overall increase in average global temperatures due to the greenhouse effect (the increasing amount of carbon dioxide in earths atmosphere trapping more heat)

A natural nonrenewable fuel source. Derived from underground, fossilized remains of living organisms

The process by which scientists analyze potential risks and benefits before conducting scientific investigations and experiments
