===Meaning===
'''Environmental change''' means a change in the conditions of a [[habitat]].
===About Environmental Change===
: The '''environment''' depends on the temperature, amount of water, amount of sunlight and the amount of nutrients in the soil.
: When there is an '''environmental change''' this can change or destroy a habitat.
: '''Environmental change''' can cause certain types of creature to all die.: Too much rain can cause floods which kill creatures that live underground.: If there is not enough rain it causes a drought and creatures run out of water.: If a habitat gets too cold lots of the creatures might die.

|-
| style="height:20px; width:200px; text-align:center;" |Pollution like litter can kill lots of creatures in a habitat because they eat it by accident and it gets stuck in their stomachs.

: '''Environmental change''' can cause certain species to die.
: Too much rain can cause floods which kill [[organism]]s that live underground.
: If there is not enough rain it causes a drought and [[organism]]s can become [[dehydrated]] and die.
