Oceans cover nearly 71% of the Earth’s surface along with marginal seas, and land comprises the other 29%. Humans have always been fascinated with Oceans for their beauty, size, and great uncertainty. To date, it is believed that only 9% of all oceanic life forms have been discovered, which leaves millions of unidentified plants and sea life still out there. Aside from the sheer…
Nature vs Human There are many ways in which human beings have could create changes towards the earth’s environment. Currently, humans are involved with a considerable amount of changes to the planet, stemming from large differences like carbon dioxide emissions or smaller scale changes like creating houses. Many of these changes originate from a plethora of social forces that alter the world. These interactions create hostile living conditions and can also have a long term unfavorable planet.…
As one rakes through the admittedly small timeline of the human existance, they will find that humans have always insisted that they are the most important lifeforms on this planet in one shape or another.

including fracking and recycling followed by a variety of other suggested methods. When learning about the global environment we tend to direct our attention to one specific continent, forgetting that global warming is not only effecting the United States(U.S) but is also effecting all of the other countries and land masses. By narrowing in on two locational different continents whose environments are being targeted and effected differently. By contrasting those differences and how their…
Today, humans have directly impacted virtually all parts of the earth. Out of the entirety of the Earth’s surface roughly 70 percent of it is covered by ocean and roughly 40 percent of that ocean bears a serious human “footprint” (Halpern et al., 2008).When most people today think of human impacts on the ocean overfishing, destruction of habitat, and pollution come to mind. However, until recently plastic, an emerging contaminant has gone unnoticed. Therefore, today scientists are still learning…

The Impact of People’s activities on the Environment Every day, the environment continues to degrade due to man’s activities. Sustainability of the environment has become a long gone story.
