How has the environment affected the food diets and food chains of the animal habitat?Animals are adapted to eat the food that is in the environment that they live in. If there is a new animal introduced into the environment, the whole food chain and diets of animals living in that environment originally might be affected.
How does greenhouse gases affect the animals and their habitats?
The pollution that causes global warming is linked to acid rain. Acid rain gradually destroys almost everything it touches. Global warming is also causing many more fires that wipe out whole forests. This happens because global warming can make the earth very hot. In forests, some plants and trees can be so dry that they catch on fire.
The balance of gases in the habitat of animals.
Animals breathe in oxygen and give out carbon dioxide but trees breathe in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen when they photosynthesize, so the balance between these two gases is quite fixed, but due to greenhouse gases, the amount of carbon dioxide is slowly increasing and the amount of oxygen is slowly decreasing.
The intensity of light in the habitats of animals
Light filtered in from the canopy is the most variable physical factor in the forests, both in space and time.
