Man's Impact on the Enviroment

(i) Fossil fuels which take many years to form are used excessively and too quickly which causes them to be used up or depleted.

(ii) Minerals,metals and wood,are used to make objects.Minerals and most raw metals are found underground.They cannot be replaced once they are removed from the ground.Trees from forests are cut down to supply us with wood to make furniture or paper products.

(iii) Fish from the sea become endangered or extinct as the fish cannot reproduce fast enough to replace those that we catch.

-Deforestation is caused when large areas of forest are cleared by burning or cutting down trees to make more space for farming or housing.
