Historically the humanity has been conditioned to use fossil fuels and its derivatives, but the finitude of this natural resources incentive the development of new types of energy, mainly the renewable ones. In addition, the overwhelming of the atmosphere with carbon dioxide makes this new kind of energy a new hope because is commonly seen as the solution to the environmental problems. As a result, the benefits are considered the only point of view in many discussions about the theme, even…

environmental crises are challenging the future of several cities around the world; Urmia city in Northwest of Iran, located near Urmia Lake is not an exception. This lake is an important internationally recognized natural area designated as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO. Maps and satellite images show the tragedy of water decline during 30 years, led to an environmental disaster from increased salinity and negative effects on ecosystems, agriculture, livelihoods, and health. This lake is…

I was only nine years old when this horrific natural event happened, and I remember that day extremely well. This tsunami took the lives of approximately 250,000 people. It damaged thousands of buildings and even changed the shape of the shoreline. The impacts of this devastating tsunami are still affecting the people who reside there. By implementing the five priorities in the Hyogo Framework for Action, people will be prepared when natural disaster strikes and hopefully the amount of…

in a cities and there neighborhoods. Cartographers relay on assessment data for precise information the use of such instruments as topography, and compasses. Some use distant sensing to gather information, sensors that detect radiation, some use satellites. Today there are a multitude of ways to gather information to identify exact locations. GIS -vs-…

Environmentalism is the political and philosophical position that the health of the natural world should be an item of social concern(CITE). Environmentalism relates to conservationism, the belief that natural resources should be treated carefully so as to produce the greatest benefit, and preservationism, the belief that untrammeled nature has inherent value, whether ecological, aesthetic, or spiritual, and therefore that some landscapes should be left undeveloped. (CITE) Within the history of…

on volcano and earthquake research because if we continue researching volcanoes scientists can find better ways to predict when a volcano will erupt which can lead to the saving of thousands of lives. Natural disasters are very dangerous and there are some for almost every climate. The one natural disaster that can be in almost all climates is a volcano. Volcanoes can be in places as cold as Iceland or in places warm like the Pacific islands. Volcanoes are also very hazardous, causing things…

Man continuously wants to see himself as separate from the rest of the world of natural forces, something that he alone can control, not the reverse. Perhaps it’s as simple as being unable to truly comprehend the very long time over which nature takes to work its magic i.e. truly appreciating the fact that the universe itself is some 13 and ½ billion years old. In over the two and a half million years that we’ve been around (geologic and evolutionary time are very slow moving forces) a lot can…

recent years is the care of wild animals in captivity. Peoples main concerns align with the belief that wild animals belong in their natural habitat not confined to cages. To ease civil unrest, the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) was created to hold Zoos accountable for the care of their animals by requiring them to develop enrichment programs to simulate the natural environment of animals that cannot be released back into the wild. Although polices have been put in place to protect the…

His name was Charles Darwin, and in 1859 he published his scientific discoveries titled “On the Origin of Species”. In his book, Darwin wrote about the way animals evolved over time, by a process called natural selection. Natural selection is based off the idea that some organisms are more “fit” than others, and so nature chooses the most fit of a species to live, and the “unfit” to die. It is inferred that the fit organisms go on to reproduce and that is how certain…
