The cards Question What is agriculture? Tap to flip Answer Using land to raise farm animals and grow crops to feed humans and farm animals. Question What is deforestation? Tap to flip Answer The removal of trees, often to use the land for agriculture or building. Question What is a habitat? Tap to flip Answer The place where an organism lives, which gives it food, shelter and a place to reproduce. Question What is biodiversity? Tap to flip Answer The range of different living organisms (species) in an ecosystem. Question What is an ecosystem? Tap to flip Answer All the living organisms in a place interacting with each other and their non-living surroundings. Question Give one major cause of deforestation. Tap to flip Answer e.g. converting land for agricultural use. Question What does deforestation result in for many species? Tap to flip Answer Habitat loss. Question Has more habitat been destroyed by using land to rear animals or to grow crops? Tap to flip Answer To rear animals. Question Give one strategy to reduce habitat loss caused by agriculture. Tap to flip Answer e.g. changing diets, reforestation or rewilding. Question What is the carbon cycle? Tap to flip Answer A set of processes that transfer carbon between the atmosphere, organisms and Earth. Question Why does deforestation disrupt the carbon cycle? Tap to flip Answer Less carbon dioxide is absorbed from the atmosphere for photosynthesis. Question What type of gas is carbon dioxide in the atmosphere? Tap to flip Answer A greenhouse gas. Question What is the water cycle? Tap to flip Answer A set of processes that transfer water between the atmosphere, organisms and Earth. Question Why does deforestation disrupt the water cycle? Tap to flip Answer Less water is absorbed and transpired. Question How does deforestation affect surface runoff of water? Tap to flip Answer It increases runoff, which increases flooding and puts food security at risk. Question What is climate change? Tap to flip Answer A long-term shift in weather patterns. Question What is an adaptation? Tap to flip Answer A feature that helps an organism live and survive in a particular place. Question What is evolution? Tap to flip Answer The gradual change in the characteristics of species over time, sometimes forming new species. Question What is leading to global warming and climate change? Tap to flip Answer Human emissions of greenhouse gases. Question Why may species become less well adapted to their habitat as the climate changes? Tap to flip Answer Climate change is changing the conditions in their habitats. Question How can some species survive changes in conditions in their habitat? Tap to flip Answer By migrating to a new habitat. Question Can species choose to evolve new adaptations to survive climate change? Tap to flip Answer No; evolution occurs at random and may be too slow to save many species. Question What is global warming? Tap to flip Answer An increase in Earth's average surface temperature. Question What are greenhouse gases? Tap to flip Answer Gases in the atmosphere that keep it warmer than it would be without them. Question What are emissions? Tap to flip Answer Releases of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Question What is a carbon footprint? Tap to flip Answer The calculated total amount of greenhouse gases emitted by an activity. Question How does climate change make it more challenging to produce food? Tap to flip Answer It makes extreme weather events more common. Question How can changes in our diet help limit climate change? Tap to flip Answer They can reduce emissions from food production. Question What is plastic usually made from? Tap to flip Answer Fossil fuels. Question What is a pollutant? Tap to flip Answer A substance that can harm living organisms when it is released into an ecosystem. Question What does 'biodegradable' mean? Tap to flip Answer Able to be broken down by living organisms, including microorganisms. Question What does 'sustainable' mean? Tap to flip Answer Able to be carried out over a long time with little or no negative impact on the environment. Question Why is plastic waste in landfills and oceans a problem? Tap to flip Answer It takes a long time to degrade and can harm organisms. Question What is a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic food packaging? Tap to flip Answer Biodegradable bioplastics made from renewable resources. Question Give one advantage of plastic food packaging. Tap to flip Answer It helps prevent food spoilage and reduces food waste.

How this deck was checked On 2026-11-02, every card was compared with its source: the lessons of Oak National Academy, a public body funded by England's Department for Education that publishes lessons for the national curriculum. Because the cards come from those lessons, no second source was sought. The comparison was done automatically, not by a teacher, so a card can still be wrong.
