1420 - How do environmental changes, caused by biological activities, affect biological activities?
When living things (like humans, animals, and plants) do things, they can change the environment around them. This is called a biological activity. For example, when humans cut down trees, it changes the environment.
These changes can then affect other living things in different ways. Here are a few examples:
- Loss of homes: When trees are cut down, animals that live in those trees might lose their homes.
- Changes in air: When humans release bad things into the air, like pollution, it can make it harder for plants to grow and for humans to breathe.
- Changing water: When humans dirty the water, it can make it harder for fish and other animals that live in the water to survive.
But it's not all bad! Some biological activities can make the environment better. For example:
- Planting trees: When humans plant trees, it can help clean the air and provide homes for animals.
- Cleaning up the ocean: When humans pick up trash from the ocean, it can help keep the water clean and healthy for animals that live there.
So, biological activities can have both good and bad effects on the environment, which can then affect other living things.
