| Greenhouse Gases | Gas in an atmosphere that absorbs and emits radiation within the thermal infrared range |
| Habitat | The place where an organism naturally lives and grows |
| Human Activity | Thing that humans do |
| Natural Resources | Resources that exist in the environment without human intervention |
| Per Capita | Average per person |
| Population | A group of interacting individuals of the same species located in the same area |
