Erosion

pollution in the land and waters. Modern factory farms are sprayed with herbicides and pesticides to grow grains to feed cattle which destroys topsoil and leak into the ground and nearby streams and rivers. Over 4 million acres of cropland are lost to erosion every year due to plundering farmlands to fatten animals for slaughter. High contents of toxic chemicals are regularly found in fish in many lakes, rivers, and…

Tide gauge readings, core samples, and satellite measurements tell us that over the past 100 years, the global sea level has risen about 4 to 8 inches. The yearly rate over the past couple decades is twice than the average speed of the past 8- years. Burning fossil fuels and other environmentally harming activities over the past century has caused temperatures to rise. During the summer, glaciers melt significantly less than previous years and during winter, less snow falls, causing sea levels…

The California Coastal Act was enacted in the 1970s and it required that the 76 coastal cities and counties in the state must prepare and maintain a local coastal plan (LCP). The LCP incorporates the policies outlined in the Coastal Act and must be approved by the California Coastal Commission (CCC). A LCP is the city's specific, long-term coastal management plan, which includes a land use plan, zoning ordinances and other implementing actions (Fischer, 1999). Instead of having one big LCP, Los…

I have a dream of a future where humans take care of the environment. A society that takes pride in keeping the air clean, our natural habitats untouched, and our oceans free of pollution. It is time to become more educated about how our environment is damaged by contamination caused by fracking, oil drilling, and raw sewage. The pollutants leak into the land, enter the water systems, and air at nearby sites. I believe we can do better for our environment. The Chesapeake Bay is the third largest…

Along with conflict resolution and value erosion, pathological mass behavior and vulnerability to mass appeals can analyze the cause of ISIS. The beginning of ISIS began with the reign and terror of Saddam Hussein who intended to systematically exterminate Iraq society (Chalabi). His totalitarian control led him to strive for complete control of power from every aspect in a society. Hussein’s tendency towards political violence began at an early age when his father died and he was supported by…

if soil erosion happens, the more CO2 will be released from the decomposed soils apart from less amount of CO2 absorbed by farming and environment. Better-quality of soil texture is correlated with the higher density of carbon contents, the correlation is leading to greater harvest under conservation farming. The documentation between soil organic carbon and earth content is well recognised with a strong positive relationship (Gatere, et al., 2013). Accordingly, avoiding from soil erosion is…

Globalisation has brought many dramatic shifts to the African continent, but none more impactful than the international economic interests and the erosion of local African culture. Tendon [cite] states through the cold war, which was a result of the process towards globalisation, has serious consequences for African countries. Leaving many one-party or military regimes such as those that can be seen…

in osteoclast cells being indirectly stimulated through the inhibition of bone building. The parathyroid hormone will act upon collagenase enzymes to increase the breakdown of collagen within the bone, while increasing the activity to assist the erosion of bone. This process results in bone reabsorption taking place and an increase of calcium levels in the blood. The parathyroid hormone also increases the production with the active form of vitamin D through the kidneys. The calcitriol is located…

Introduction As described in The Saga of Erik the Red, Greenland was first settled around 985 AD by former Icelander Erik the Red and his group of followers. Erik was exiled from Iceland in 982 AD for murder, so he journeyed to the west. He settled at the currently known Eastern Settlement, found at the tip of Greenland, claiming a piece of land for himself. Some of his group continued farther north and settled at what is now known as the Western Settlement, farther north on the western side of…

practices are not used correctly, it will drain the proteins from your crops and contaminate the soil especially if the farmer is not rotating his/her crops. Rotating crops adds nutrients back to the soil but if not, the soil becomes at risk for erosion when high winds or heavy rain comes. Without good soil, the crops being grown will not have the necessary nutrients that is needed for the human body to stay healthy. Due to these issues, we feel like the first step to finding a solution to this…
