==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
'''Habitat destruction''' is when the physical and biological conditions of a [[habitat]] are changed so much that [[organism]]s in a [[community]] can no longer survive there.
===About Habitat Destruction===
: '''Habitat destruction''' can be the result of killing [[organism]]s, particularly [[producer]]s in an [[ecosystem]] or it can be changing the physical conditions so much that the [[organism]]s in a [[community]] can no longer survive.
There are several causes of '''habitat''' destruction you may know:
*[[Deforestation]] - In which [[human]]s cut down large numbers of [[tree]]s.
*[[Desertification]] - In which [[human]]s cause the [[soil]] to be unable to hold as much [[water]] causing it to become too dry to support [[plant]]s.
*Damming Rivers - In which [[human]]s block the flow of [[river]]s causing large areas of land to be [[flooded]] by fresh water.
*Building Tidal Barrages - In which [[human]]s block the flow of the [[tide]] at coastal locations killing [[organism]]s that rely on the changes of the [[tide]]s.
