Natural World

diverse manners, artists often successfully reflect, and display the impact and relationship humans have with the environment. This allows for society and the general population to further explore and understand their place within both the natural and unnatural world. Artists such as Jill Orr, Lin Onus and Andy Goldsworthy successfully reciprocate this by responding to the physical environment- and situations they are positioned in- through their creations of thought provoking art. These three…

Charles Darwin is commonly misattributed with developing the entire theory of natural selection, which he describes in his work The Origin of Species. However, Darwin was not the first scientist to take note of phenomena regarding species self-improvement nor did he even coin the term “natural selection”. Instead, Darwin was simply the first to provide accurate, natural world justifications for why species’ self-improvement occurred and, moreover, was the first to leave divine influence out of…

evolution of all things is still show that baffles scientist and philosophers around the world. Questions are asked in the end yet only a selected few are answered furthermore even if the answer is clear; it only widens the space for new questions to surface. Some scientist and philosopher believe in the widely popular idea of Natural Selection. This idea originated from the scientist Charles Darwin. The idea of Natural Selection stems from the belief that those with a more dominant…

The topic of energy I chose to do my paper on was fossil fuels and their impact. For those of you who may not know what fossil fuels are they are formed by natural processes. They are hydrocarbons generally coal, fuel oil which come from dead organisms like plants and animals. These fuels became well recognized and in use following the 18th century’s industrial revolution. Since then we’ve seen the fossil fuels used more and more. Fossil fuels are classified as organic matter. The utilization of…

increase has a lot to do with the growing population around the world. Yet, as we continue to grow in numbers of people, we also continue to lack a sufficient amount of natural resources to go around as well as places to absorb all of the waste we create. We have been given natural resources that can be taken for granted so easily because we never think of what life will be like when they’re gone. We have never had to live in a world without them so we need to learn, globally, how to use the…

2060: the predicted year that Earth will have run out of all oil and natural gas. In approximately 200 years, humans will have used up all of the available resources. And considering the earth is 4.5 billion years old, this is disgusting. If the predicted year is correct, I will be 59 years old when everything the world depends on is gone. Consequently, my children will live a life of depleting natural resources, and my grandchildren will see how nonrenewable they actually are. As a result, I…

Natural gas is used to create energy. Natural gas is a gas that occurs naturally underground. It is uses fossil fuels to make materials and chemicals. Geologist find and harvest the natural gas. Natural gas can be used for many things. It is beneficial in numerous ways. Although, there can also be downsides to using natural gas. Natural gas is made by the burning of fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are natural fuels such as coal or gas. They are formed in the geological past from the remains of…

Nature is a continuing theme in Old English that reflects and explains certain observations in everyday life. Nature is used as a way to validate faith in occurrences in the natural world that are seemingly only explainable by a higher power. The use of nature to explain certain feelings and actions strategically allows an acceptance of hardships in life. Many poems have been written using nature as a backbone of faith. Poems such as “The Story of Caedmon”, “The Dream of the Rood” and “The…

that today’s world cannot go without. Many believe, though, that fracking to acquire Natural Gas is a non-efficient and a destructive way of doing it. This paper is not intended to argue the fact that is has no harm, but instead, that as of this moment in time there is no better way to mass produce energy than Natural Gas and fracking is the best method of obtaining it. The use of fracking to obtain Natural Gas is the most efficient, cleanest, and least damaging way to mass produce Natural Gas…
