Pollution and Its Effects on the Ecosystem
Pollution and Its Effects on Ecosystems
By Malik Lockett 808
Pollutions of ecosystems can harm living organisms. It can cause death, the worst experience ever. Let’s learn about.
A pollution is the presence in or introduction into the environment of a substance or thing that has harmful or poisonous effects. The main country that is experiencing pollution is Mexico. In Mexico City there is air pollution caused by smoke from exhaust pipes and other reasons.
Land Pollution Land pollution maybe understood as the deterioration of the earth’s land surfaces, often directly or indirectly as a result of man’s activities. You might wonder why the focus on man’s activities. Aren’t there also natural factors for land pollution, such as hurricanes, earthquakes and flood that tear down buildings, trees and leave the land polluted with debris and dead bodies?
Well, natural events like volcanic eruptions and tsunamis can bring about land pollution. When the large amounts of sulfuric acid poured out into the atmosphere during volcanic eruptions are precipitated in acid rain and soil acidification might take place where the acid rain falls on the soil. When tsunamis hit the coastal land, the flush of saline water onto soil can lead to salination. Nonetheless, these natural events are by far, few and uncommon. Some other natural events like soil erosion occurs more frequently in nature, but when it comes to the scale of land pollution, man’s impact often greatly out do that of nature. And if you think a bit more, you might realize that very often, the land pollution that takes place as a result of natural disasters, is actually exacerbated by the very presence of man-made infrastructure, objects, and chemicals etc.
Water Pollution Over two thirds of earth’s surface is covered by water, less than a third is taken up by land. As Earth’s populations continues to
