ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE 1st EXAMINATION Flashcards
it is a place where different things are such as a wet or hot environment.
Environment
It can be living (biotic) or non-living (abiotic) community, which includes three essential forces: physical, chemical, and natural.
Environment
defines the systematized body of knowledge that builds and organizes a lot of information in a different form of testable experiments and predictions about everything in the universe.
Science
is an interdisciplinary academic field in science that integrates all the physical, biological, and information to the study of the environment, and the solution to environmental problems.
Environmental Science
is a branch of biology concerning interactions among organisms, and their biophysical environment includes both biotic and abiotic components
Ecology
The study of matter, its properties, how and why substances combine or separate to form other elements, and how elements interact with energy.
Chemistry
is a group of different individual life that inhibit the plant Earth. That varies on their genetic component and adaptation to the environment
Biodiversity
In the _________ biodiversity is composed of animals on land usually greater near the equator, which is an indicator of the warming of the climate
terrestrial
is considered an environment is naturally occurring toa specific organism to survive
Habitat
A ___ ____ is those places where the species can find food, shelter, protection, and mates for reproduction.
species habitat
Both physical and biological features characterize it
Habitat
The ability of a system to exist continually at a cost, in a universe that evolves in the state of entropy toward the thermodynamic equilibrium of the planet.
Sustainability
is a branch of philosophy that could somehow be systematized, defend, recommend, and identify what right and wrong behavior is.
Ethics
In the 21st century, it generally refers to the capacity for the biosphere and human civilization to coexist.
Sustainability
is a discipline in philosophy that studies or focus on the moral relationship among human beings to the value and moral status of the environment, which includes plants and animals.
For the environmental Ethics
is a community comprised of living organisms in conjunction or in relationship with the nonliving components of their specific environment that interact with each other.
The ecosystem
It is the process of all plants that transform into the release of energy ATP. During this process, the light energy of the sun is captured. There is a conversion of water, some mineral and carbon dioxide, and a certain amount of oxygen needed by animals to survive.

Environmentalism
During 1960-1970 marks the beginning of Modern Environmental Movement and the establishment of ____ _____ _____ which was created to protect animals and places from human developmental activities.
World Wildlife Fund (WWF)
It began after the industrial revolution when there was an increase of smoke pollution and chemical discharge which led to the formation of modern environmental laws. In 1863, Britain’s Alkali Acts were passed to combat air pollution. In 1898, Coal Smoke Abatement Society was established in response to coal combustion leading to heavy smoke in industrial cities. After World War II, the industrialization expansion was stupendous that led to economic development and brought nature degradation. With each passing day, the people became environmentally conscious. With this, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in 1948was created to protect and preserve nature in its original form. The Clean Air Act 1956was formed following the London Smog Episode (Great Smog of London) 1952. It initially aimed to limit air pollution by controlling the emission of air pollutants.
Environmentalism
The ____ _____ in Agriculture 1966was initiated to understand the negative impacts of uncontrolled and unregulated use of pesticides and fertilizers on the environment. It was intended on improving agriculture using environmental-friendly techniques.
Green Revolution
____ (___) which aimed to ensure environmental health by negotiation policies and acts; US EPA which was created in 1970 to monitor human activities that are negatively impacting the environment of the Earth; and Greenpeace(1971), a campaign of committed individuals who tried to stop the American Nuclear Weapon test.

____ _____ _____ (__) is an international movement that aims to encourage social, economic, and environmental justice by identifying the connection between health and environmental issues began in response to the unjust treatment of low-income communities that were exposed to environmental pollution.
Environmental Justice Movement (1980)
The _____- disaster in 1986 was a massive environmental issue. Hence, the Brundtland Report in 1987 (Our Common Future, 1987)brought more consciousness among people and the Earth Summit in 1992 discussed the socio-economic development along with ways to solve problems concerning environmental protection.

moral value

ethical extensions
How we treat other people, animals, or things, can also depend on whether we believe they have _____ _____—an intrinsic right to exist
inherent value
_____ _____ (they have value because they are useful to someone who matters). If I hurt you, I owe you an apology. If I borrow your car and smash it into a tree, I don’t owe the car an excuse. I owe you an apology—or reimbursement.
instrumental value
It is anything that can occupy space and has a mass. Solid, liquid, gas, plasma, and Bosh Einstein Condensate are the phases of matter that constitute the arrangement of the structures and properties of atoms.
Matter
Energy is conserved; it is neither created nor destroyed under normal conditions
First Law of Thermodynamics
With each successive energy transfer or transformation in a system, less energy is available. That energy is degraded to lower-quality forms or it dissipates and is lost as it is used. When you drive a car, for example, the gas’s chemical energy is degraded to kinetic energy and heat, dissipating, eventually, to space. second law recognizes that disorder, or entropy, tends to increase in all-natural systems.
Second Law of Thermodynamics

Deciduous
Wide range temperature moisture
Coniferous
It is defined as the circumstances surrounding an organism or group of organisms or the complex social or cultural conditions affecting each organism in the given biotic and abiotic community. However, human being inhabits the natural world, as well as the, built the environment or the technological, social, and cultural world, all constitute essential parts of our environment.
