ENVIRONMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS IN SPAINPROBLEMS IN SPAIN
CLIMATE CHANGE
• Climate change is a worldwide problem and it’s the cause of most environmental problems in Spain.
• Since 1973, the average temperature of Spain has been increasing faster and faster.

CLIMATE CHANGEThe consequences of Climate Change in Spain are:
• Temperature Rise• Desertification• Decrease of cultivable land.• Lack of water, as it evaporates
faster.• Increase of some diseases
which are transmitted by the air.

TEMPERATURE RISEIn this map, we can see that the temperature has risen faster in the
Mediterranean coast.

DESERTIFICATION• Spain is a very warm country so climate change and lack of
water have had a huge effect on the desertification process.• It threats a third of Spain’s area.• Desertification is the
main cause of fires in Spain, which destroys plants and trees every year.

DESERTIFICATIONThe North and the mountain areas are wet but the rest of Spain is really
dry, that’s why temperatures are so high and desertification is an important problem.

• Acid Rain• Environmental
degradation• Danger to many animal

ACID RAIN
• Pollution Causes Acid Rain.
• When a lot of dangerous gases are poured into the atmosphere, the rain becomes acid.
• It can damage forests, buildings, etc.

URBANIZATION OF NATURAL AREAS
• Many areas, mainly very near the sea, are being urbanized to increase tourism.
• That is destroying many coastal landscapes.

•Deforestation and desertification
•Pollution
DEFORESTATION AND DESERTIFICATION
•Its warm and dry climate, the lack of water, the industrial and economic growing and tourism are the causes of these problems.
•Every year forests disappear in Murcia because of the lack of water.
•Many trees are cut to build houses, factories and resorts.
•New economic activities are causing the end of rural works, which took care of forest some years ago. This lack of care produce the growing of the number of fires.

POLLUTION
•Pollution of the sea and seaboard: This was a consequence of the mining and petrol industry.
• Atmospheric pollution: Now a days this is in a normal range but 20 years ago Cartagena, our city, was one of the most polluted cities in Spain together with Bilbao because of petrol industry.
