Synergistic Interaction (Synergy)
Give this one a try later!
- Occurs when two or more processes interact so that the combined effect
is greater than the sum of their separate effects
Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
Give this one a try later!
Annual market value of all goods and services produced by all firms and
organizations, foreign and domestic, operating within a country.
,Troposphere
Give this one a try later!
- The innermost layer of the atmosphere, extends only about 17km above
sea level
- Contains most of the planet's air (mostly nitrogen and oxygen)
Environmental Era
Give this one a try later!
- 1960-present
- People began to understand the environmental impact of air pollution
- Growing number of citizens organized to demand political leaders to
enact laws and policies to curtail pollution (environmental movement)
Net Primary Productivity (NPP)
Give this one a try later!
The rate at which producers use photosynthesis to store energy minus the
rate at which they use some of this stored energy through aerobic
respiration
- NPP = GPP 2-R (R is the energy used by respiration)
Nuclear Fusion
, Give this one a try later!
- A nuclear reaction where atomic nuclei of low atomic number fuse to
form a heavier nucleus with the release of energy
Environmental Degradation
Give this one a try later!
Process where we exceed a renewable resource's natural replacement rate
and the available size starts to shrink
Environmental Impact Three Factor Model
Give this one a try later!
Population (P) X Consumption per person (affluence, A) X Technological
impact per unit of consumption (T) = Environmental Impact (I)
