What impact do humans have on th Aquatic Biome?

Answer 1

The biggest impact on the Amazon rain forest is the activities of humans. Growing population needs the space and the trees are cut down because people need jobs and the wood can make a lot of money for lumbering companies. Unfortunately, even the people who depend on the rain forest are among the ones contributing to its decline.

WE cut things down and kill things. We destroy the habitat of the animals and take away their food supply. But we can also try to conserve by replanting trees and plants and set hunting laws. We can also not kill animals.

We also improve the rainforest by enforcing laws against hunting endangered species. Together, we can save the rainforest!

Answer 2

The hydrosphere is the combined mass of water found on under and over the earth's surface.

Humans build wells to access underground water. They desalinate salt water to make it consumable for people and animals. They use it commercially. They filter it for deadly bacteria and parasites. They use it for agriculture, irrigation and gardening. They use it for recreation.

We effect it with pollution, cleaning, fishing, mining, etc.

Answer 3

California: We've destroyed all native aquatic ecosystems )and yes, I DO mean all) by doing one or more of the following:

a) damming of rivers

b) pumping away of water

c) contaminating the water with mining tailing runoff

d) contaminating the water with agricultural runoff

e) dropping pesticide "bait" into the water

f) poisoning the water with rotenone

g) fishing

h) deliberate introduction of non-native predatory species, such as "stocked" trout, northern pike, Louisiana crawdads, red-eared slider turtles, African clawed frogs, bullfrogs, mosquitofish, and even alligators!

i) deliberate or accidental introduction of other non-native species including water hyacinth

j) paving the riverbed with gunnite

Answer 4

How Do We Affect the Ecosystem?

An ecosystem is a living system that includes the sun as an energy source, soil, rocks, water, air, plant life and living beings. We humans are only one part of any ecosystem, but many people believe that we have a disproportionate effect. Our actions tend to affect not just our surroundings, but the world at large. To live more responsibly on the Earth, we must understand how the things we do can have lasting effects.

WaterThroughout the world, 2.6 billion people lack proper sanitation, which means that drinking water around the world is contaminated with waste and disease. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that this has resulted in 1.8 million human deaths. Open water is often contaminated by agricultural chemicals, fuel from passing boats and even trash and litter. Both the Pacific and the Atlantic oceans contain large "islands" of plastic trash, which National Geographic suggests came from litterbugs and open landfills around the world. FuelWe use Natural Resources to produce power, but according to the WHO, our current methods are harmful to ecosystems. Burning fuels such as wood and coal creates pollution, and is depleting our forests. The WHO claims that wood harvesting in rural areas is not only bad for human health, but is creating a "wood fuel scarcity." Worse, coal plants produce enough pollution that it is collecting in our atmosphere, causing breathing hazards and affecting the weather. Burning gasoline in our cars creates smog in and around cities. BiodiversityBiodiversity is the variation between types of plants and animals. Every living thing plays a part in an ecosystem, and when a specific type of being becomes extinct or is removed from an area, its ecosystem suffers. When humans convert an area to farmland, we make it inhospitable to many types of plants and animals, and begin growing only the species we like best. Large-scale fishing, land development and many other practices drive out native species, changing the local ecosystem permanently. Climate ChangeThe Earth's natural climate is always changing, but in years recent to 2010 we have observed dramatic changes that are likely due to humans. In fact, the United Nations Convention on Climate Change defines climate change as "change of climate which is attributed directly or indirectly to human activity that alters the composition of the global atmosphere." Our industry, agriculture and pollution all have real effects on the Earth's natural systems. Pollution and greenhouse gases in particular are accumulating in our atmosphere, causing the planet's overall temperature to rise. This results in weather changes, which affect all ecosystems.

Answer 5

The impact that humans have on the Aquatic is bad because humans throw trash in the water and also build oil tanks and the oil tanks cause oil pollution and pollution is bad for humans and bad for animals.

Answer 6

due to large game fishing and pollution the water biome is dwindling fast. And they are dumping waste into fresh water too.
