ENVIRONMENT1750 – 1914 Saw European, parts of American areas effected20th Century has seen effects spread throughout the world 20th Century has been an environmental disasterExamples
Overpopulation and massive megapolis Deforestation especially of tropical zonesDesertification has increased due to overgrazing, overfarmingOverfishing of rich areas had reduced catches to extremely low areasHunting of whales and sharks to near extinctionOvergrazing of fragile zonesMass extinctions of animalsSettlement of fragile zones (tide waters, coastal zones)Overuse of aquifersPollution of the Arctic, AntarcticEnvironmental pollutants (fertilizers, radioactive ores) have made areas unlivableReduction of habitats and zones in transition to farming, loggingPollution
