  1. 3. involves the collection and processing of materials to reuse them, reducing the need for new raw materials and minimizing waste.
  2. 5. is the long-term increase in the Earth's average surface temperature, primarily caused by the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, leading to climate change.
  3. 7. also known as clean energy, refers to energy sources that have minimal environmental impact, such as solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal power.
  4. 8. is a complex, interconnected system where living organisms (plants, animals) interact with their physical environment (air, water, soil) and with each other. Ecosystems can range from small-scale, like a pond, to large-scale, like a forest.
  5. 14. includes all non-domesticated animals and organisms found in their natural habitats, from mammals and birds to reptiles, insects, and microorganisms.
  6. 16. is a natural process where certain gases (greenhouse gases) in the Earth's atmosphere trap heat from the sun, helping to maintain a relatively stable temperature on the planet. However, human activities have enhanced this effect, leading to global warming
  7. 17. represents the long-term patterns and average conditions of temperature, precipitation, wind, and other atmospheric elements in a specific region. It can refer to the weather conditions in an area over an extended period of time.
  8. 18. refers to materials or substances that are no longer needed or wanted and are typically discarded, posing environmental challenges if not managed properly.

  1. 1. are disposal sites where solid waste and garbage are buried, often resulting in environmental and health concerns if not properly managed.
  2. 2. refers to energy sources or resources that can be naturally replenished or regenerated over time, such as solar energy, wind energy, and hydroelectric power.
  3. 4. is the consciousness and knowledge of environmental issues, challenges, and the need for conservation and sustainable practices.
  4. 6. often symbolizes eco-friendliness and sustainability, and it can refer to green practices, green technologies, or green energy.
  5. 9. is the practice of using resources and managing the environment in a way that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.
  6. 10. is a specific environment or place where a particular organism or species lives, providing the necessary conditions and resources for their survival and reproduction.
  7. 11. encompasses the surroundings and conditions in which living organisms, including humans, exist, including the physical, biological, and chemical elements of the Earth.
  8. 12. refers to the introduction of harmful substa0nces or contaminants into the environment, causing adverse effects on living organisms, ecosystems, and natural resources
  9. 13. is a molecule composed of three oxygen atoms (O3) found in the Earth's atmosphere, with the ozone layer being a region of the stratosphere that contains a higher concentration of ozone, protecting the planet from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
  10. 15. is a large, dense area of land covered with trees, plants, and wildlife, playing a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity and mitigating climate change.
