Man or Human Interaction with Environment by Atif Nauman (University of Gujrat)

1. Man-Environment Interaction By Atif Nauman(University of Gujrat)

2. Contents Introduction Positive and Negative interaction Deforestation Water Pollution Land Pollution Air Pollution Climate Change

3. Introduction Man Environment interaction is how people adapt to, depend on, and modify their environment.  Questions come in our mind: How people adapt to their environment? How people depend on their environment? How people modify their environment?

4. Introduction How people adapt to their environment? Humans are generally adapt the environment to suit themselves. we have air conditioning in hot countries and central heating in colder countries. By wearing warm clothes in cold areas.

5. Introduction How people depend on their environment? Human beings depend on the environment to get resources, such as water, shelter, food and clothing.  The environment provides food since plants grow from the soil. The environment provides this element through various ways including rain, rivers, lakes and oceans.

6. Introduction How people modify their environment? Humans modify their environment in positive, neutral and negative ways to obtain what they want for daily life. People make changes to the land so that crops grow better. Build buildings and other structures on the land.

7. Impacts of Man Environment Interaction There will be both positive and negative impacts of Man Environment Interaction. Now we will discuss Positive Impacts: Use of renewable energy resources: Planting trees Sustainable infrastructure development Recycling Creation of National Parks

8. Negative Impacts Following are the negative impacts of Man Environment Interaction: Deforestation Water Pollution Land Pollution Climate Change

9. Deforestation Deforestation, clearance or clearing is the removal of a forest or stand of trees. The land is thereafter converted to a non-forest use. Resulted in damage to habitat, biodiversity loss. Deforestation is a contributor to global warming. one of the major causes of the enhanced Greenhouse effect. The water cycle is also affected by deforestation.

11. Water Pollution Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies. when pollutants are directly or indirectly discharged into water bodies without treatment. Affects the entire biosphere of plants and organisms living in these water bodies. Water pollution is the leading worldwide cause of deaths and diseases. Deaths of more than 14,000 people daily.

12. Land Pollution Land pollution means degradation or destruction of earth’s surface and soil.    Deforestation carried out to create dry lands is one of the major concerns. Extension of cities and towns due to increasing population is leading to further exploitation of the land. Land  pollution also caused by the land fill contents. Follow Recycle rule.

13. Air Pollution Air pollution  occurs when harmful substances including harmful  particulates and biological molecules are introduced into  Earth's atmosphere. Human activity and natural processes can both generate air pollution. Pollutants are classified as primary or secondary. Due to air pollution in 2012 caused the deaths of around 7 million people worldwide(WHO).

14. Climate Change Climate change  is a change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns. Change lasts for an extended period of time (i.e., decades to millions of years). Caused by factors such as biotic processes, variations in solar radiation received by Earth, and volcanic eruptions. Human activities have been identified as primary causes of ongoing climate change.
