Freshwater chapter AP Environmental case study: The case study for this chapter is centered on the Colorado River and Las Vegas. The river supplies many states with the necessary water for people to live in the area, but as of late the river has been drained. This is due in part to the city of Las Vegas using ?more than their fair share? of the water. The city is in the middle of a very dehydrated area and as a result the city uses more and more water each year as it grows. This is considered and environmental concern in that the freshwater from the river is being consumed at a rate considered to be unsustainable to the current state of freshwater usage. Without any signs of water usage slowing in Las Vegas and other cities, the river is gradually being drained away.

Chapter 12 Sustaining Biodiversity: The Species Approach Core Case Study: The Passenger Pigeon - Gone Forever Once the most numerous bird on earth. In 1858, Passenger Pigeon hunting became a big business. By 1900 they became extinct from over-harvest and habitat loss. Figure 11-1 SPECIES EXTINCTION Species can become extinct: Locally: A species is no longer found in an area it once inhabited but is still found elsewhere in the world. Ecologically: Occurs when so few members of a species are left they no longer play its ecological role. Globally (biologically): Species is no longer found on the earth. Global Extinction Some animals have become prematurely extinct because of human activities. Figure 11-2 Endangered and Threatened Species: Ecological Smoke Alarms

Chapter 4: Biodiversity and Evolution 4-1 What is biodiversity and why is it important? Biodiversity is a Crucial Part of the Earth?s Natural Capital Biological Diversity (Biodiversity) is the variety of the earth?s species. The genes they contain, the ecosystem in which they live, and the ecosystem processes such as energy flow nutrient cycling that sustain all life. Genetic Diversity enables life on earth to adapt and survive dramatic environmental changes. Ecosystem diversity are storehouses of genetic and species diversity Functional diversity is the variety of processes such as matter cycling and energy flow taking place within ecosystems. 4-2 Where Do Species Come From? Biological Evolution by Natural Selection Explains How Life Changes Over Time

Current Events ?Burke Lake Park Spillway Renovations Underway? What are the key points in the article? The dam in Burke Lake Park is going under some changes to update the dam into the more current design for safety. Although the dam really is functioning just as well currently, as time goes by, the habitat the dam is built on will change. When the land starts to wear off over time, it will not let the dam carry out the plan it was designed for, since the calculations were done according to the previous landscape of the field in which the dam is built on. What are the points of view presented about this issue?

background extinction During most of the 3.56 billion years that life has existed on the earth, there has been a continuous, low level of extinction of species known as background extinction. endangered species has so few individual survivors that the species could soon become extinct over all or most of its natural range (the area in which it is normally found). extinction rate expressed as a percentage or number of species that go extinct within a certain time period such as a year. HIPPCO Habitat destruction, degradation, and fragmentation; Invasive (nonnative) species; Population and resource use growth (too many people consuming too many resources); Pollution; Climate change; and Overexploitation.
