What environmental impacts do primary industries have?
Farming - herbicides kill, fertilisers use fossil fuels, removing hedgerows
Mining - destroys lots of land, uses lots of water
Overfishing
Deforestation
What environmental factors do secondary industries cause?
Pollution
Habitats destroyed
What environmental affects do tertiary and quaternary industries cause?
Use lots of energy - creates pollution
Deforestation for the use of paper
How can you make economic development more environmentally sustainable?
Use fewer herbicides
Laws to reduce pollution/deforestation
Turning off electrical devices when not used
How do human activities increase global climate change?
Farming, manufacturing increase pollution
What economic impacts will climate change have?
More people will be able to grow more exotic crops with higher temp.
Land may become more dry with high temp. so crops won’t be able to grow
What environmental impacts will climate change have?
Sea levels rise
Higher temp. means decreased rainfall
Some species may die out
What are the social impacts of climate change?
Being able to grow less food - good shortage
Deaths due to extreme weather
Hotter weather means diseases will spread more
What political impacts will climate change have?
Wars over water/food
Increased migration
What are the national responses to climate change?
Improve transport networks
Governments can increase taxes on cars with high emissions
What are the local responses to climate change?
Congestion charges
Conserving energy
Recycling
