Human & 
Environment 
Interaction
Anthropogenic Activities
Industrialization
Factory production and manufacturing processes that transform raw 
materials.
Deforestation
Clearing forests for agriculture, urban development, and resource extraction.
Urbanization
Growth of cities and conversion of natural landscapes to built environments.
Resource Extraction
Mining, agriculture, and energy production that utilize natural resources.

Key Characteristics
Human-
Centered
Activities initiated and 
controlled by human 
actions and decisions.
Environmental 
Impact
Leads to degradation 
affecting air, water, soil 
quality, climate, and 
biodiversity.
Economic and 
Social 
Dimensions
Creates health issues, 
community 
displacement, and 
inequality alongside 
growth.

The Anthropocene Age
Global Impact
Human practices now affect environments both locally and globally.
Human Direction
Humans are now directing environmental changes on Earth.
Resource Conversion
Natural resources converted to carbon dioxide, creating anthropogenic 
pollution.
Resource Types
Fossil fuels, minerals, timber, and agriculture are key resources used by 
society.

Impact of Anthropogenic Activities on 
Environment
Changing Relationship
Human civilization's relationship with nature changes across 
space and time.
These changes expose humans to varied ecological impacts.
Historical Warning
Ancient volcanic CO2 emissions during mass extinctions offer 
warnings.
Scientists compare CAMP magmatic pulse CO2 to projected 
21st century anthropogenic emissions.
