HUMAN IMPACT ON ENVIRONMENT
Terminology
1. A process by which nutrients become highly concentrated in a body of Eutophication
water, leading to increased growth of organisms such as algae.

individual, a defined population or a company per year.
3. The type of pollution caused when water is released into a river after Thermal
being heated in power stations or industries. pollution
4. A layer in the atmosphere that is damaged by chlorofluorocarbons Ozone layer
(CFCs).

it has a higher yield/ they use less pesticide, this is artificial selection Vand because
