Before going to take detailed earth day activities for kids, we need to understand Earth Day. Earth Day is celebrated throughout the World on April 22 nd with 193 countries and supported environmental protection.
what is Environmental protection?
Environmental protection is to protect the earth from pollution, global warming, and overpopulation. In the last century, science and technological advancement affect the Earth’s environment. This is due to the over-exploitation of the natural resources of the Earth. We have so many natural resources as listed follows,
1. Forest resources
2. Mineral resources
3. Water resources
In Forest resources, different continents have very unique forest types. There are tropical forests, rain forest, and etc., The species living in the forest are very rare and endanger. The over-exploitation of forests affects not only trees even animals.
In mineral resources, we get different types of minerals in different continents. Minerals such as iron, magnesium, zinc, copper and etc., These minerals are mainly in different types of industries from mechanical to health care. Some mineral resources of more expensive such as silver, gold, platinum, granite and etc., Industries overexploit these mineral resources which create deforestation, land sliding, etc.,
In water resources, we have different kinds of water resources on the earth. They are classified as saline water and domestic drinking water. Saline water is occupied on our Earth’s surface more than 80 % as a sea and ocean. Rivers and lakes are come under drinking domestic water resources.
Earth was formed from big colliding rocks. As Scientists mentioned, 4600 million years ago, the solar systems formed from a cloud of rock, ice, and gases. Hydrogen gas is the most abundant gas in the universe.
