Cause Identification

This worksheet asks students to identify the environmental effects of various pollution causes, such as exhaust from cars, factories dumping waste, pesticides, oil spills, and landfill leakage. They complete a chart by filling in the resulting environmental consequences, applying knowledge of air, water, soil, and noise pollution. This encourages students to think critically about how specific actions create real ecological harm. The reflection question prompts them to explain why understanding these cause-and-effect relationships is essential for environmental protection.
