BALANCE IN NATURE
4. Balance in nature is an interaction between biotic and a biotic components to form a system that can support the habitat 5. Natural Cycles such as :
CARBON CYCLE
NITROGEN CYCLE
WATER CYCLE

Plants are known as PRODUCER because they are able to make their own food through PHOTOSYNTHESIS Animals are consumer because they cannot make their own food Food chain is a series of living things each of which is eaten b the next line Food web is a series of interlinked food chain There are three types of consumer which are primary consumer, secondary consumer and tertiary consumer

NATURAL DISASTER
NATURAL DISASTER
1.
Drought - Land become very dry - Plants and animals die Floods - Cause destruction to plants and animals - Lead to erosion and landslides
2.
3. Typhoons - Cause destruction to all plants in a habitat - Animals use tree for shelter and protection against predators 4. Earthquake - Can last only for 1 minute - Cause destruction and loss of lives
5.
Volcanic Eruption - Cause destruction of surrounding areas - Destruction of habitat - Cause acid rain

GLOBAL WARMING
GLOBAL WARMING
Global Warming
1.
2.
3.
Global warming is the increase in the average temperature in the world The dense layer of carbon dioxide traps the suns heat around the earth, creating GREENHOUSE EFFECT GREENHOUSE effect is due to the increase of the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Reduce the use of fossil fuels Control logging activities Practise reforestation to replace logged plants, this will balance the consumption and production of carbon dioxide in nature
Use of Pesticides

Ozone Layer
Ozone Layer
1.
2.
3.
Ozone is a gas made up of molecules consisting of three oxygen atoms each Found in the stratosphere. Importance Helps to protect the earth from excess ultraviolet light from the sun
2.
3.
Causes Cataract Less resistant to disease Damage crops and resulting of low yield
Splitting Ozone
When it goes to atmosphere it will be broken down by Ultraviolet Radiation and release active Chlorine atom
Chlorine atom acts on Ozone layer and form Oxygen Molecule and Chlorine monoxide
Chlorine monoxide reacts with oxygen atom to reform oxygen molecule and chlorine atom
Chlorine atom destroy another ozone molecule and depletes another ozone molecule
EXERCISE
Pollution Control
1.
2.
Control the use of fossil fuels Control the disposal of industries waste - Enforce rules to control the disposal of gases and toxic waste - Treat toxic waste before disposed off -Radioactive waste should be stored in lead and concrete
