Agriculture

Agriculture is the cultivation of land and breeding of animals and plants to provide food, fiber, medicinal plants and other products to sustain and enhance life.

Antarctic Circle

The Antarctic Circle is the most southerly of the five major circles of latitude that mark maps of the Earth.

Arctic Circle

The Arctic Circle is the most northerly of the five major circles of latitude as shown on maps of Earth.

Biodiversity

Biodiversity, a portmanteau of biological (life) and diversity, generally refers to the variety and variability of life on Earth.

Deforestation

Deforestation, clearance, or clearing is the removal of a forest or stand of trees where the land is thereafter converted to a non-forest use.

Earth

Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only astronomical object known to harbor life.

Ecological footprint

The ecological footprint measures human demand on nature, i.e., the quantity of nature it takes to support people or an economy.

New!!: Anthropization and Ecological footprint · See more »

Ecology

Ecology (from οἶκος, "house", or "environment"; -λογία, "study of") is the branch of biology which studies the interactions among organisms and their environment.

Egypt

Egypt (مِصر, مَصر, Khēmi), officially the Arab Republic of Egypt, is a transcontinental country spanning the northeast corner of Africa and southwest corner of Asia by a land bridge formed by the Sinai Peninsula.

Endangered species

An endangered species is a species which has been categorized as very likely to become extinct.

Environment (biophysical)

A biophysical environment is a biotic and abiotic surrounding of an organism or population, and consequently includes the factors that have an influence in their survival, development, and evolution.

New!!: Anthropization and Environment (biophysical) · See more »

Geography

Geography (from Greek γεωγραφία, geographia, literally "earth description") is a field of science devoted to the study of the lands, the features, the inhabitants, and the phenomena of Earth.

Grassland

Grasslands are areas where the vegetation is dominated by grasses (Poaceae); however, sedge (Cyperaceae) and rush (Juncaceae) families can also be found along with variable proportions of legumes, like clover, and other herbs.

Greenhouse gas

A greenhouse gas is a gas in an atmosphere that absorbs and emits radiant energy within the thermal infrared range.

New!!: Anthropization and Greenhouse gas · See more »

Habitat fragmentation

Habitat fragmentation describes the emergence of discontinuities (fragmentation) in an organism's preferred environment (habitat), causing population fragmentation and ecosystem decay.

New!!: Anthropization and Habitat fragmentation · See more »

Holocene

The Holocene is the current geological epoch.

New!!: Anthropization and Holocene · See more »

Land use

Land use involves the management and modification of natural environment or wilderness into built environment such as settlements and semi-natural habitats such as arable fields, pastures, and managed woods.

Large Hadron Collider

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and most powerful particle collider, the most complex experimental facility ever built and the largest single machine in the world.

Natural environment

The natural environment encompasses all living and non-living things occurring naturally, meaning in this case not artificial.

New!!: Anthropization and Natural environment · See more »

Non-renewable resource

A non-renewable resource (also called a finite resource) is a resource that does not renew itself at a sufficient rate for sustainable economic extraction in meaningful human time-frames.

Observatory

An observatory is a location used for observing terrestrial or celestial events.

Pesticide

Pesticides are substances that are meant to control pests, including weeds.

New!!: Anthropization and Pesticide · See more »

Pollution

Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse change.

New!!: Anthropization and Pollution · See more »

Pyramid

A pyramid (from πυραμίς) is a structure whose outer surfaces are triangular and converge to a single point at the top, making the shape roughly a pyramid in the geometric sense.

Silviculture

Silviculture is the practice of controlling the establishment, growth, composition, health, and quality of forests to meet diverse needs and values.

New!!: Anthropization and Silviculture · See more »

Soil

Soil is a mixture of organic matter, minerals, gases, liquids, and organisms that together support life.

New!!: Anthropization and Soil · See more »

Soil erosion

Soil erosion is the displacement of the upper layer of soil, one form of soil degradation.

New!!: Anthropization and Soil erosion · See more »

Terrace (agriculture)

In agriculture, a terrace is a piece of sloped plane that has been cut into a series of successively receding flat surfaces or platforms, which resemble steps, for the purposes of more effective farming.

Terrain

Terrain or relief (also topographical relief) involves the vertical and horizontal dimensions of land surface.

Territorial claims in Antarctica

Seven sovereign states maintain a territorial claim on eight territories in Antarctica.

Urbanization

Urbanization refers to the population shift from rural to urban residency, the gradual increase in the proportion of people living in urban areas, and the ways in which each society adapts to this change.
