UNIT 9: Water and Aquatic food production systems and societies
Significant Ideas
- The hydrological cycle is a system of water flows and storages that may be disrupted by human activity.
- The ocean circulatory system (ocean conveyor belt) influences the climate and global distribution of water (matter and energy).
- The supplies of freshwater resources are inequitably available and unevenly distributed, which can lead to conflict and concern over water security.
- Aquatic systems provide a source of food production.
- Unsustainable use of aquatic ecosystems can lead to environmental degradation and collapse of wild fisheries.
- Aquaculture provides potential for increased food production.
- Water pollution, both to groundwater and surface water, is a major global problem, the effects of which influence human and other biological systems.
