The giant panda, also known as panda bear is a bear that is native to south central China. The scientific classification of the giant panda is that it originates from the kingdom: Animalia, phylum: Chordata, class: Mammalia, family: Ursidae, genus: Ailuropoda, and species: A. melanoleuca3. The giant panda has been added to the endangered species list in 2007. Conservation needs to be done by humans to prevent damage to the world that humans have caused. Without conservation, our lives will…

People may suggest that everyday energy used is from power plants, which stores energy to power a whole city. It is usually thought of renewable resources, such as water, the sun, wind, etc., to be nothing but ordinary resources. Without individuals really thinking about it, they can use the everyday resources to power energy through many types of technologies used today. People have created machinery that can use the renewable resources for energy. There may be disadvantages, but current energy…

An advantage of growing corn for use in ethanol production is that corn is a readily available crop in the United States, and there would no longer be a need to import materials to produce fuel. This would also benefit the agriculture industry by providing more jobs to corn planters. Going this route also would lessen the dependence on the Middle East and other countries for oil and fuel. Growing corn for use in ethanol production would also be a more energy efficient way, because there would be…

Historical periods - Neolithic Period (6000-2900 BC), During this period, the inhabitants initially came to Ancient Greece from the East and they settled in the Grecian Urn eastern portion of the region. Once these eastern settlements increased in population, the people scattered and traveled throughout Greece. They introduced pottery to Greece and began raising animals domestically.Early Bronze Age 2900 – 2000 BC), This is the time period in Greece when bronze and other metals like silver and…

and blues. Science LEDs can be tuned to these frequencies that is the lighting they choose. This reduces the energy needed to power lights. It also makes them grow faster, bigger and sweeter. Another example would be when Brazil tried to build a hydropower, which had a handful of negatives. They didn’t cut down the rainforest which normally would be a positive. Instead they flooded the rainforest to “create requisite water mass and vertical drop to drop drive the generator” (McDonough &…

is somewhat smaller than the size of Texas within its borders. The land-locked country has a handful of very expensive and desirable resources these include but not limited to diamonds, uranium, timber, gold, oil, and hydropower. https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ct.html The Seleka: The Seleka are a rebel group that has an alliance of rebels between 1,000 to 3,000 people. The Seleka is thought to be made up of three major groups the Patriots…

The damming boom along the Mekong River Basin was an idea that many countries in Southern Asia had with the intention to simply increase hydropower and income, but there are a plethora of unforeseen reactions that are brought forward with dams. An increase in the number of dams will only worsen the situation, and one of the major stakeholders would be the fish industry. Dams serve as a powerful…

capital investment in California. Although the gold rush only lasted for a few years, the long-term gold mining was driven by technology-based enterprise sustained by systematic control of California’s rivers. By the 20th century irrigation and hydropower dominated agriculture and industry. This Hydraulic West of the 20th century had its origins in the industrial landscape of 19th century California gold country. (Isenberg 30). California’s legal environment also tended towards hydraulic…

of energy consumption, with coal and natural gas at 23% and 22% respectively. We use fossil fuels and nonrenewable resources for almost all of our energy consumption while we only use about 7% of renewable resources such as solar, geothermal, and hydropower. We are globally the world’s largest energy consumer making up only about 4.6% of the words population but using a huge 25% of the primary global energy. In contrast lesser developed countries used renewable resources such as biomass-water,…

deficit of energy just like Chile. There have been players in the field that have attempted to find a solution for the energy problem. Some of them include HidroAysén and International Rivers Network, which through much debate have proven that more Hydropower would cause extreme environmental problems, that should be prevented. To counteract the production and still create energy is that an alternative solar power source should be created in the Patagonian region. New leading players in this…
