Basic Environmental Science Notes
1. What is Pollution?
Pollution is the introduction of harmful substances into the environment. It can be
air pollution (from factories and vehicles), water pollution (from waste dumped
into rivers), and land pollution (from litter and industrial waste). Pollution
harms both humans and wildlife.
2. Global Warming
Global warming is the gradual increase in Earth's temperature caused by the buildup
of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide. It leads to melting glaciers, rising sea
levels, and extreme weather. Reducing fossil fuel use and planting trees can help
fight it.
3. Renewable vs Non-Renewable Resources
Renewable resources (like solar, wind, and water) can be replaced naturally.
Non-renewable resources (like coal, oil, and natural gas) take millions of years to
form and can run out.
Using more renewable energy helps protect the planet.
How to Create a Productive Study Routine
1. Choose the Right Time
Study when your brain is most active. Some people focus better in the morning,
others at night. Know your best time.
2. Stick to a Routine
Study at the same time each day. This builds a habit and trains your mind to focus
at that time automatically.
3. Track Your Progress
Keep a checklist or study journal. Mark off completed tasks to stay motivated and
see how much you've accomplished.
