Warm Up!1) Explain the difference between renewable,

nonrenewable, and perpetual resources? 2) What are the 2 major differences between

traditional and alternative energy sources?3) What are the 3 types of fossil fuels and how are

they formed?4) How is coal extracted from the Earth? Explain this

process and what has to be done once the process is complete.

5) List one thing you learned from the guest speaker.*Don’t forget to use your notes! That’s why you have them!**Set up CORNELL NOTES! WRITE THE NEW OBJECTIVE & LEQ!!*

Warm Up! (answers)1) Renewable- Plants, Trees, Animals, Water.As long as they are not over used or made unusable to

humans.Nonrenewable- Oil, Coal, Gold, Natural Gas.Perpetual- water, wind, sunlight2) Traditional- Burns fossil fuels & produces air pollution. Alternative- Uses natural resources and does not produce

air pollution (minimal at most)3) Coal-trees & plants buried in swampsNatural gas & Oil-animals in ocean died & buried4) Mining- reclamation: putting the land back together

The Objective:

• SWBAT- Explain the consequences of human activities on the lithosphere and synthesize potential solutions by completing a news report.

• LEQ: What human activities are affecting the lithosphere? How?

Cornell Notes

• Write what is in yellow!

What is Mining? the extraction of valuable minerals or

other geological materials from the earth.Impacts: Habitat destruction, air & water

pollution, respiratory diseaseshttp://youtu.be/a0S8iayJDhQ

What is Deforestation? the removal of trees to clear land for a non-forest use. (e.g. farms, ranches, or urban use)

Impacts: Increased erosion (washing away of top soil), loss of habitats & species

Deforestation

• http://youtu.be/Fo4WXly4QYk

What is Agriculture? (farming) the production of plants, animals for food, fiber, and other products used to support human life.

Impacts: water pollution from pesticides, fertilizers

Agriculture

• http://youtu.be/FLDp_XDVYS0

What is Overgrazing? when plants are exposed to excessive grazing for long periods of time, or without enough recovery time.

What causes it?livestock, overpopulation of wild animals, poor agriculture practices

Impacts: Loss of biodiversity (variety of life)http://youtu.be/dChVjipWiXk

What is Urbanization the physical growth of urban areas as a result of global change.

What are the Impacts? Heat islands (reduces soil moisture &

intensifies carbon dioxide emissions)http://youtu.be/z9AZfwfyATI

What is OverfishingTo deplete (use up) the supply of usable fish in a

certain area of water*Impacts: extinction of marine fish species, loss

of biodiversity, decline in fisheries*Potential Solution: Aquaculture (fish

farming!!): raises fish in ponds or fenced areas of water; however, it requires wild fish for feeding, fish crowding occurs, may invade native habitats

Gallery Style Notes• You have 15 minutes to walk around the

room and record the definition and impact it has on the environment for each human impact (there are 6 stations!!)

• You are also responsible for watching the youtube clip at each station. You may use your phone/electronic device or my computer!

Use your time wisely! We are moving on after 15 minutes! NO EXCEPTIONS!!

MAKING NEWS!

• In groups, you will research a topic about a human impact on Earth’s surface.

• Using the information from your reading and Text Book, your group will create a 2 minute News Story Poster to present to the class

Information you MUST include in your news story poster...15min prep

• A description of the activity you are researching.• Why it occurs.• The impacts this activity has on the Earth.• Most importantly: What potential

solutions/alternatives can your team propose?

*Winning presentation will receive a prize!!!

It’s up to us to take action!!

• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zPcR7wgh0c (Human Impact on the Environment)

Homework

• Write a letter to President Obama. In your letter, explain how we can improve our environmental and quality of life. You need to support your argument. Use what you have learned over the past few days, including what you learned today about the negative impacts of our actions on the lithosphere.

Exit Ticket

1. Explain 2 negative affects of mining?2. How does deforestation affect the

environment?3. What is another name for sustainable

agriculture?4. What is the cause of over grazing? 5. What is a Heat Island and where does it

occur?
