ECOLOGICAL BALANCE
Introduction
Ecological balance is a term used to describe the equilibrium between living
organisms such as human being, plants, and animals as well as their
environment
...
Sufficient food availability to all living organisms and their stability
reflect the existence of ecological balance
...
For example, human activities such as farming and resources
exploitation are checked to prevent excessive destruction of the forests
...
Drought reduces food production resulting to
insufficient food
...
ECOLOGICAL IMBALANCE
Ecological imbalance is when a natural or human-caused disturbance disrupts
the natural balance of an ecosystem
...
Examples of natural disturbances
are volcanic eruptions, floods and natural fires
...
Environmental Issues Related to Ecological Imbalance
Global problems:These are problems that affect different nations and can only be resolve
through solidarity of affected nation
...
National problem:These are problems that affect a country and can only be resolved within the
country
...
Greenhouse effect: When the Sun’s
energy reaches the Earth’s atmosphere, some of it is reflected back to space
and the rest is absorbed and re-radiated by greenhouse gases
...
The problem we
now face is that human activities – particularly burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and
natural gas), agriculture and land clearing – are increasing the concentrations
of greenhouse gases
...
Acid Rain:
Acid rain refers to rain which is acidic in nature
...
The SO2 and NOX
react with water, oxygen and other chemicals to form sulfuric and nitric acids
...
The major sources of SO2 and NOX in the atmosphere are burning of fossil
fuels to generate electricity -Two thirds of SO2 and one fourth of NOX in the
atmosphere come from electric power generators, vehicles and heavy
equipment, manufacturing, oil refineries and other industries
...
Two ways Gaia
accomplishes this include:
1
