Human-Environmental Interaction
refers to the ways that humans interact with and shape their natural
surroundings
Match each aspect of Human-Environmental Interaction with its example:
Dependence ↔️ Food, water, shelter
Adaptation ↔️ Clothes for weather
Modification ↔️ Farming, construction
Climate change is caused by factors such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial
emissions
Match each aspect of Human-Environmental Interaction with its description:
Dependence ↔️ Reliance on environmental resources
Adaptation ↔️ Adjusting to environmental conditions
Modification ↔️ Changing the environment
What is environmental sustainability?
Meeting current needs sustainably
Renewable resources like solar and wind energy are
sustainable
because they can be replenished over time.
True
What is meant by "Human-Environmental Interaction"?
Humans interact with their surroundings
What does "adaptation" refer to in the context of Human-Environmental Interaction?
Adjusting to environmental conditions
Humans modify the environment through farming,
construction
, and resource extraction.
True
What are the primary effects of deforestation?
Loss of biodiversity, soil erosion
What are some effects of climate change?
Rising temperatures, melting glaciers
What is one example of displacement caused by environmental degradation?
Coastal communities by rising sea levels
What are some examples of renewable resources?
Solar, wind, hydropower
Arrange the case studies of Human-Environmental Interaction based on their primary focus:
1️⃣ Inuit Communities in the Arctic
2️⃣ Farming in the American Midwest
3️⃣ Urban Development in Singapore
Farmers in the American Midwest develop irrigation systems to adapt to periodic
droughts
Order the three key aspects of Human-Environmental Interaction:
1️⃣ Dependence
2️⃣ Adaptation
3️⃣ Modification
What are three key areas of human impact on the environment?
Deforestation, pollution, urbanization
Adaptation in Human-Environmental Interaction refers to humans adjusting their
lifestyles
to environmental conditions.
True
Urbanization leads to habitat destruction, increased waste, and air and water
pollution
Fossil fuels are non-renewable resources that will eventually
run out
Humans rely on the environment for resources like food, water, and
shelter
Match the aspect of Human-Environmental Interaction with its description:
Dependence ↔️ Reliance on environmental resources
Adaptation ↔️ Adjusting to environmental conditions
Modification ↔️ Changing the environment
Urbanization leads to habitat destruction, increased waste, and air and water
pollution
Industrial emissions are a major cause of
pollution
.
True
Droughts can lead to water shortages and crop
failures
Air pollution can cause
respiratory illnesses
.
True
Non-renewable resources are finite and will eventually run
out
How do Inuit communities adapt to the harsh Arctic climate?
Building igloos and using dog sleds
Urban development in Singapore involves extensive
land reclamation
from the sea.
