Document Summary
Distinguish between human impact on the environment and environmental impact on humans. Human impact on the environment is our direct influence on how the environment changes, through population growth, resource consumption, and advances in technology. Ipat best describes this impact= population x affluence x technology. Environmental impact on humans is when humans are directly affect by the way the environment has changed our lives. Humans must adapt to climate change, environmental changes temperature, seasons, resources development and depletion. The major way the environment impacts humans is variation in the way the earth moves and wobbles on its axis. Thirdly change in the travel path around the sun. like. Resources can have positive feedback or negative feedback on population as well as environmental impact. List several ways in which humans may be able to affect the components of the model (e. g. population, resources, environment) Population- size, distribution, density and growth rate effect the use of resources.
