Land Use Flashcards

All 6 cards in this deck

Name four human activities that reduce the amount of land available for other animals and plants.: Building, quarrying, farming and dumping waste.
Why do humans destroy areas of peat bog?: To produce garden compost, and to provide peat as a fuel.
What effect does the destruction of peat bogs have on biodiversity?: It reduces the area of this habitat, so the variety of plant, animal and microorganism species living there falls.
Which gas is released into the atmosphere when peat decays or is burned?: Carbon dioxide.
True or false? Buying peat-free compost helps to maintain biodiversity.: True. Peat bogs are not dug up, so the habitat and its species are preserved.
True or false? Farming land does not reduce the land available for wild plants and animals.: False. Farming, like building, quarrying and dumping waste, takes away land and habitats from other species.
