Humans take advantage of places that are peaceful so if they start going to Antarctica, most likely they will cause more damage to the land. Based on this evidence, I’m guessing that some people don’t know how to care for nature like others. In the text, “This may be simply because few mineral or oil deposits have ever discovered, nations will certainly be quick to begin fighting for them” pg#5. The nations can have war and if they find it, they can cause further injury to the land. From this…
The Coal Oil Point along the California coast releases and estimated 2,000 to 3,000 gallons of oil into the Oceans each day, according to livescience.com. The BP Deepwater Horizon catastrophe in 2010 spilled 205.8 million gallons of oil and 225,000 tons of methane into the Gulf of Mexico, proven by biologicaldiversity.org. An oil spill is the release of a liquid petroleum hydrocarbon into the environment, especially marine areas, due to human activity, and is a form of pollution. Since so much…
oil. The oil tanker ran aground after unfortunate circumstances of trying to avoid ice bergs. The tanker that was meant for Long Beach, California went aground in Prince William Sound, Alaska.

The Marcellus Shale, the United States’ largest natural gas field and one of the largest in the world, is a huge sedimentary rock thousands of feet below Earth’s surface and is millions of years old. The natural gas was created over those millions of years is a byproduct of the decomposing materials, the mud and organic material that composes the rock. The Marcellus Shale stretches from upstate New York, goes south through Pennsylvania and West Virginia, through a small part of Maryland, then…
Evolution is the theory used to describe exactly why life on earth changes the way it does. It is evident that all things change throughout time, but understanding the reason behind these changes can be infuriating. In Evolution for Everyone, David Sloane Wilson bonds the basic concepts of evolutionary theory with different disciplines such as: art, religion, language, and pro-social behaviors. Wilson establishes a unity between the evolutionary theory and the development of culture, language,…
Both the passage and the lecture are concerned with the decrease in sea otter population in areas of the Alaskan coast. The author of the passage claims that the decrease is due to pollution of the otters' environment. The professor refutes this point. He avers that the population decline originated in increased predator activity in these areas. First of all, the author points out that there are notable sources of pollution in Alaska, such as oil rigs. Tests conducted on water samples from these…

There is an extensive historiography available of both British eugenics and class. Despite this the secondary literature for this specific field suffers from some extremely significant limitations at present. This is particularly so when the intersection between class and eugenics is considered, as well as recent (post-1995) publication. References to the survival (or revival) of eugenic attitudes after 1970 are mostly short or passive, at best. For example, the chapter “Eugenics in Britain” by…
Task: Steam engine What was life like before the invention? Life was very different before the steam engine was invented. Before the invention people used three ways to get power: wind, animals and water. Wind powered propellers were used to get power, but it wasn’t really effective if it wasn’t on a flat plain. Animals were effective for minor things such as using two horses to move a wagon somewhere, but If you needed two hundred horses to turn the machinery in a factory, then that would be…
