Air pollution Air pollution is a problem everywhere in the world. Local air pollution usually affects big cities. Air pollution becomes a worldwide problem when local pollution moves away from where it came from. For example‚ winds carry air pollution made in the middle of the western part of the United States to Canada‚ like acid precipitation. Acid precipitation Acid precipitation is precipitation‚ like rain‚ sleet‚ or snow‚ that contains acids from air pollution. When fossil fuels are burned

Threats to Biodiversity: Habitat loss is mainly due to human population growth‚ industrialization and changes in the land use patterns‚ poaching of wild life and man wildlife conflicts. Man has begin to overuse or misuse most of these natural ecosystems. Due to unsustainable resource-use‚ once productive forests and grasslands have been turned into deserts and wastelands have increased all over world. Scientists have estimated that human activities are likely to eliminate approximately 10 million
