Fracking is not a new concept it has actually been around since 1940 and will not make The United States independent. That is a common misconception about fracking. Fracking pollutes the environment, wastes a lot of water, and affects ground water. Hydraulic fracturing is also known as fracking. “Hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking, is a technique used to extract petroleum and natural gas from underground rock formations. A high-pressure mixture of water, sand and chemicals are pumped…

The Effects of Acid Rain in the Temperate Deciduous Forest The temperate deciduous forest has many environmental threats, such as deforestation, introduction of non-native species, overgrazing, and much more. One prominent issue, other than the cutting down of trees, is the constant occurrence of acid rain and pollutants in the air. Acid rain is essentially rainfall made acidic due to atmospheric pollution that causes environmental harm, typically to forests and lakes. The main cause of this…

that humans rely on to stay protected from space’s harsh environment (How are humans responsible for global warming?). The invention of paper launched the depletion of trees. Trees are necessary for humans and other animals to live from releasing oxygen for us to breath and absorb the carbon dioxide that damage the atmosphere (How are humans responsible for global warming?). Greg Seaman proposes solutions to reverse the effects of emissions on Earth, assuming the effects could be reversed in…

photocatalytic reaction process [14]. Many attempts have been devoted to develop high-performance TiO2 photocatalysts for practical applications such as core–shell structure [15] nonmetal or metal doping [16–19], phase mixing [20,21], generation of oxygen vacancy [22], and coupling with other semiconductors [23–28]. In particular, coupling with another semiconductor has been widely used to improve the photoelectrochemical and photocatalytic performance of TiO2 materials. WO3 is a suitable…

Pollution, is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse change. There are many ways that pollution is contaminating the world including, Air Pollution, Soil Pollution, and Water Pollution. Within those three, there are many issues that are arising that need to have immediate action taking place. Water pollution is killing many animals, which is leading to endangered species. Soil contamination is damaging crops, which is causing soil erosion. Lastly, air…

Global warming or climate change is the gradual increase of Earth’s temperature over time, through the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is the rising carbon level in the atmosphere, trapping radiation, and heating the Earth. Humans are depending on fossil fuels that release these emissions. Though we have increasingly started depending on renewable resources that don’t release these harmful gases into the atmosphere, we can already see the effects today and if this doesn’t stop now the…

When you hear the word permanent, what do you think about? How about if you hear the two words permanent destruction, do you hear a ringing in your ears just from those two words? Do you ask yourself, what are the consequences from permanent destruction? Well, when I think of permanent destruction of forests, I come into realization all that’s at stake. According to Alina Bradford, a Live Science contributor, states “An estimated 18 million acres (7.3 million hectares) of forest, which…

The chances of earth’s environment declining will only increase if humanity continues its meat eating habits, due to the global effects that raising livestock cause to the climate. It has recently been made known to the public on a larger scale, that one of the greatest factors to the ozone layer being damaged is from raising livestock. It is up to us to fix this issue before it makes the world an unlivable place. We have to do this now instead of later. Recently, a group of environmentalists…

oven cleaner that contains Sodium Hydroxide. Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) is highly corrosive due to its elements; the presence of oxygen and an electrolyte (Sodium – Na) cause corrosion, the breakdown of a metal resulting from reactions with chemicals in its environment. The oxygen oxidizes with the metal, and the sodium help speed up the corrosion process. The presence of oxygen and electrolytes (Sodium – Na) in sample number 2 make it more…

Deforestation in the Amazon: Impact On Humans Trees are often looked upon as everyday objects that will be around forever. However, at the rate they are being cut down, that may not be the case. The process of clearing trees and transforming a forest into cleared land is called deforestation (Deforestation, n.d). This process is occurring all over the planet, specifically the Amazon Forest, leaving an immeasurably large impact not only on the Earth but human life as well. Trees make up the…
