Desertification

Conserving and managing natural resources and wastes are national priorities. From unplugging your television, to riding a bike to work, there are many ways in which we can sustainably manage natural resources and wastes. Natural resources are what makes modern life possible for us, and it may seem impossible for some to cut back because of how much more convenient it may be. Conserving and maybe even, “going a little prehistoric” will come in handy once we are using less, and preserving more.…

The Technology needs of Society Owing to the Population Growth It took 11.5 years for humanity to grow the global population up to one billion people, and surprisingly, the global population doubled that only in another 130 years and is currently over 7.4 billion (Worldometers). After the industrial revolution, as technologies, medical science, and the economy of the world improve and develop, the mortality rate decreases and the life expectancy and the buoyancy in the population increase…

A combustion reaction (also known as burning) is an exothermic reaction in which something reacts with oxygen. Combustion reactions are known to be one of the most common types of reactions, they don’t need a lot to happen, there only needs to be an excess amount of oxygen, and with the excess amount, the combustion is called a complete combustion reaction. But with a little amount, the reaction is called an incomplete combustion reaction. The products in a complete combustion reaction are water…

(Jianguo and Diamond ,2005). There are many environmental issues in China. The environmental problems that China has faced are cropland losses, depleting fish, increased in waste, desertification, soil erosion, water pollution, overgrazing, and many more problems in the environment. The environment in china is one of the major countries that is suffering from losses and is continuing. (Jianguo, L, and Diamond, J.2005). Overpopulation is…

account; they are still foundational to our responsibilities as stewards of the earth today. That is how Joel Salatin runs Polyface Farm. “In business terms, am I giving God a good Return on Investment (ROI)? Pollution, erosion, pathogenicity, desertification, nutrient deficiency, toxicity--these are not good ROIs. The opposite is, and that’s what our farming offers” (Salatin). As Christians, it is our obligation to do our best to take care of the earth, and to love our fellow human beings (John…

Space is a place in where fear, mystery, and hope existing altogether. Unlike the Earth and other planets, space has an extreme silence since there’s no air to spread sound. There are no human beings to communicate with. On the other hand, space is full of mysteries. Due to a population explosion and famine on the Earth, lots of countries such as US and Russia are attempting to investigate other planets, especially the Mars in order to know whether people will be able to settle there. One thing…

about the animals? These creatures live in the pollution too. However the same smog is going into the animals houses and making them sick. This reflects in human privileges may be going too far. Additionally, according to the Deforestation and desertification in China,”illegal logging and slash and burn agriculture consume up to 5,000 square kilometers of virgin forest every year.”China is chopping down many trees each year to meet their needs,1.3 million cubic meters of timber are cut down each…

The major theme of Section one, Units one and two, articles 1-15, in Geography by Gerald R. Pitzl, is how the discipline of Geography is so widely-themed, with the examples of the destruction of rainforests, desertification, and pollution featured in Unit two. Before studying this book, I never thought of pollution or how humans can damage our global environment being a topic a Geographer studied. I thought that Geography was based on maps and the land. The importance of humans and the way we…

With about 1.7 billion people in the consumer class, the damage of overconsumption in developed countries, greatly impacts the environment. Consumerism in the U.S. is responsible for the depletion of 20% of the world’s resources, and 50% of it’s waste. But, just as capitalism spreads in developing countries, consumer culture spreads with it. As this culture constantly progresses, and the needs of the poor become harder to reach, the welfare of the environment is overlooked. According to the UN…
