harmless compounds, reducing environmental impact." }, { "id": 10680, "front": "Eutrophication", "back": "Eutrophication is the process by which excessive nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, lead to an overgrowth of algae in water bodies, causing ecological imbalances." }, { "id": 10681, "front": "Greenhouse effect", "back": "The greenhouse effect is the process where greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to global warming." }, { "id": 10682, "front": "Global warming", "back": "Global warming refers to the long-term increase in Earth's average surface temperature, primarily due to human activities like burning fossil fuels." }, { "id": 10683, "front": "Climate change", "back": "Climate change refers to long-term changes in Earth's climate, including temperature, precipitation, and extreme weather events, caused by human activities." }, { "id": 10684, "front": "Carbon footprint", "back": "Carbon footprint refers to the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide, produced directly or indirectly by human activities." }, { "id": 10685, "front": "Renewable energy", "back": "Renewable energy refers to energy sources that are replenished naturally, such as sunlight, wind, and water, and have minimal environmental impact." }, { "id": 10686, "front": "Deforestation", "back": "Deforestation is the process of clearing or removing trees and forests, leading to environmental degradation and loss of biodiversity." }, { "id": 10687, "front": "Ocean acidification", "back": "Ocean acidification is the ongoing decrease in pH levels of Earth's oceans caused by the absorption of excess carbon dioxide." }, { "id": 10688, "front": "environmental policy", "back": "Environmental policy refers to laws, regulations, and guidelines aimed at protecting and preserving the environment and natural resources." }, { "id": 10689, "front": " sustainability", "back": "Sustainability in environmental policy
