Q

Two Types of Environment

Study These Flashcards

A

• Geographical Environment
• Man-made Environment

It is the terrestrial environment that is a creation of complex natural and environmental conditions.

Geographical Environment

It is also called a social environment.

Man-made environment

Two Types of Man-made Environment

• Inner Environment • Outer Environment

It is a social environment that endures as long as society cherishes. It is often called "social heritage".

Inner Environment

It is the physical environment that man has created on his own with the evolving technology and science.

Outer Environment

Is an ecological concept that describes how ecosystems exist in a DYNAMIC state of balance or equilibrium.

Ecological Balance or Ecological Equilibrium

It means that despite disturbances, which may be natural or anthropogenic, a balanced ecosystem remains stable.

Dynamic Equilibrium

Without ______, life could not exist.

Carbon

____ ___ are balanced systems of energy transfer that keep the populations of animals, plants, and microorganisms within an ecosystem in check.

Food Webs

Examples of Natural Disturbances

✓ Volcanic Explosion ✓ Flood ✓ Forest Fire ✓ Overgrowth of species

Examples of Man-Made Disturbances

✓ The birth of a new specie ✓ Exploiting forests ✓ Pollution ✓ Deforestation ✓ Invasive Species

It refers to a place that is extremely rich in flora and fauna

Biodiversity Hotspots

The gradual thinning of ozone layer

Ozone depletion

It means the increasing temperature of the earth's atmosphere.

Global Warming

Any form of precipitation with acidic components.

Acid rain

It is the change of thermal effect of the planet.

Greenhouse Effect

3 Classifications of Environment

• Physical • Biological • Cultural

Atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, abiotic and natural environment - non-living (land, water, air) belongs to ________ Classification of Environment.

Physical

(Biotic and organic) living things, flora (plant life), fauna (animal life), and microscopic organisms belong to the ___________ Classification of Environment.

Biological

Society, economy, and politics - created by man with the different responsibilities belong to the ________ Classification of Environment.

Cultural

It refers to the migration of population from high-density urban areas to low-density rural areas.

Urban sprawl

Refers to the pollution problems.

Single Medium Problems

Means one of the problem is confined to soil, air, or water.

Multi-Medium Problem

It is the rapid increase of population.

Economic boom
