Here's an organized outline for AP Environmental Science Unit 6 reviews. This outline has been adapted from the 2019 Course Description published by College Board. You can use this to build an AP Enviro Unit 6 study guide.
Humans use of energy sources have created a large and lasting impact on the environment.
Energy sources can be classified as renewable and nonrenewable.
The amount of energy consumed and subsequent impact, differs greatly from one community to another.
Countries that are still developing economically use less energy than industrialized countries.
Often times wood is used for fuel in developing countries because it is easily accessible or free to harvest. This results in the deforestation of ecosystems. The distribution of natural energy is dependent on the region’s geologic history.
Fossil fuels including coal and oil, formed from the remains of living organisms.
Humans use a variety of methods including mining, fracking and drilling to extract fossil fuels from the Earth.
There have been major technological developments in the use of clean and renewable energies.
