Across
- 3. of Biodiversity The decline in the variety and number of plant and animal species in a particular habitat or globally.
- 5. Impact The environmental consequences of mining activities, including habitat destruction and water pollution.
- 6. Pollution Accumulation of plastic waste in the environment, harming wildlife and ecosystems.
- 7. Excessive fishing that depletes fish populations and disrupts marine ecosystems.
- 10. Pollution The presence of harmful substances in the air, often from human activities, causing respiratory problems.
- 12. Pollution Contamination of water bodies by pollutants, affecting aquatic life and endangering water resources.
- 13. The large-scale clearing or removal of forests, leading to the loss of trees, biodiversity, and habitats.
Down
- 1. The expansion of urban areas into natural landscapes, impacting ecosystems and increasing resource demand.
- 2. Change Long-term changes in temperature, precipitation, and weather patterns, largely attributed to human activities.
- 4. Erosion The wearing away of topsoil due to natural factors or human activities, leading to reduced soil fertility.
- 6. Pollution The contamination of the environment by chemical pesticides, affecting soil, water, and non-target organisms.
- 8. Destruction The loss or degradation of natural habitats, threatening the survival of many plant and animal species.
- 9. Pollution The presence of unwanted or harmful sound in the environment, often caused by human activities.
- 11. Management Inadequate handling and disposal of waste, leading to pollution and environmental health risks.
- 14. Depletion The thinning of the ozone layer in Earth's stratosphere, allowing harmful ultraviolet rays to reach the surface.
