Importance of The Amazon Rainforest Kevin O’Gorman It’s suffering. The biodiversity in the Amazon rainforest is suffering from the rapid changes within it. Humans are cutting down the wood in the Amazon for resources. Everything is dying off because of the changes. It may be at a point of no return and impossible to save. The important plants are being destroyed for human resources. The Amazon is habitat to a variety of animals and humans. They’re suffering because the place they…

agree that global warming is a serious issue and those who think otherwise. There is also conflict between people who think global warming will fix itself and those who think action needs to be taken to change this. The presenter in the Ted Talk I have chosen, Rob Hopkins, briefly addresses one of these controversies; however, his lack of mention to this controversy slightly detracts from the overall impact of his presentation. First, this controversy, between people who view global warming as…

The water temperature takes a plummet. The scorching sun boils the water and makes temperatures sky rocket. A cold front is rolling in. Drought has stricken the area and water levels are dropping. Conditions are bad. The sudden change of environment disrupts the normal routine of the bass. With the fishing trip dampened what do you do? How can you still catch fish? What are the types of fishing technique to coax a fish into biting? Water temperatures are down as winter approaches.…

The Effects of Carbon Dioxide on Antarctica The objective of the article is going in depth how carbon dioxide effects the Antarctica. According to Student Science sources having higher amounts of Carbon dioxide in the Antarctica causes the environment to cool. Carbon dioxide absorbs and creates radiation stated in the article. The Carbon dioxide blocks radiation from surfaces. The article doesn’t provide necessary evidence because the article is mostly talking the Antarctica climate not how…

There are many positives from tourism in Antarctica. People go there to see the beautiful sites such as glaciers, icebergs and other wonderful landscapes in Antarctica. These sites are very pleasing to the eye and mean that business’ get more money from all the tourism there, and since the number of people is increasing, these companies will, therefore, get more money and be more successful over the years. This is a more ‘business’ related positive to why people visit antarctica. Also, it's a…

ed inwardly, it was incredibly difficult to leave through them. The implementation of sliding or vestibule doors would streamline the flow of people escaping in case of a fire. A second recommended implementation is to carry out impromptu labor investigations. Our department officiates the investigation and creates regulations that we expect buildings to follow, inside and out. However, by allotting notice to Harris and Blanck, the people of the corporation were able to mislead us and…

Another place that I’ve been to recently and admired its geographical landscape is Mount St. Helens. The eruption on May 18, 1980 caused a monumental change in its geography, altering it to a point where it was unrecognizable. The current landscape is a combination of both aggradation and degradation caused by the rockslide debris that displaced the water of Spirit Lake, producing gigantic north part of the lake. When the water returned to the lake bed, it brought with it trees and soil in…

It is concluded that Yellowstone will someday erupt again however, it might not be in the near future. With the myriad of tourists that visit the National Park every year, they had to be sure that it wouldn’t explode soon to ensure people’s safety. Geologists have found that the ground around where the volcano is, is now swelling. The swelling indicates that the underlying magma chamber is refilling once again. But people have other questions, how was this volcano formed? Usually volcanoes…

1. Introduction 1.1 Literature Review “Land cover refers to the physical and biological cover over the surface of land, including water, vegetation, bare soil, and/or artificial structures” (Ellis, 2013). While, land cover change often means the modifications of Earth’s surface by human activities. Although, human have modified land for thousands of years for food, constructions or other things, the current rates, extents and intensities of land cover change are far greater than ever in…

Wind Energy-The Power of the FUTURE How does wind energy work? When the sun warms the land on the Earth, the atmosphere heats also. Warm air rises and cool air sinks, therefore, when the warm air rises, the cool air from the sea replaces it. This movement of air is what makes the wind blow. When the wind blows against the wind turbines, this spins the blades. These blades capture some of the kinetic energy from the wind. The generator takes the kinetic energy from the spinning blades and turns…
