===========================================================================================================================================================================
Standard or Objective:
C 6-8.ESS3.C.1 Analyze data to define the relationship for how increases in human population and per-capita consumption of natural resources impact Earth's systems. [Clarification Statement: Examples of data include grade-appropriate databases on human populations and the rates of consumption of food and natural resources (such as freshwater, mineral, and energy). Examples of impacts can include changes to the appearance, composition, and structure of Earth’s systems as well as the rates at which they change.
What are Earth’s Systems?
See: Earth’s Systems:
See: What are Earth’s Systems?
How does the increase in human population and overuse of the natural resources that humans consume impact Earth’s systems?
What are the Human Impacts on Earth’s Systems?
- Erosion of farmland: This impacts the soil on Earth
- Overuse of both surface and groundwater: This impacts the water on Earth by changing the water cycle and the natural flow of water on the Earth. We are changing the salt concentration of the soil and the water.
- Dwindling supplies of finite fossil fuels
- Escalating extinction of plant and animal species: By overfishing and deforestation, some species that live in the forest and in the oceans die off and they never come back. This is affecting the entire global food web.
- Over Mining of minerals: Impacts the Earth by changing the surface of the planet
- Putting Greenhouse gases in the air is causing the Earth to heat up in global warming.
- Wealthier more developed nations like the United States are using more natural resources per capita like oil. As other nations like China and India become developed, then more natural resources will be used and will be dwindled away. With overpopulation, we are going to have to make these resources sustainable so that they will be there.
Solutions: We can reduce, re-use and recycle. In this way, we can reduce our negative impacts on Earth’s Systems.
