fossil fuels pollute the sky with high amounts of sulfur and nitrogen oxides, which lead to acid rain (Acids…). These influences can change the pH to be over or below the recommended levels of 6.0 and 9.0 (Kemker). When the pH becomes lower than 6, plankton and mosses begin to invade the source and fishes like the smallmouth bass disappear (Acids…). Once the…

The environment is changing, well the world is. For many years mankind has been finding ways to make Earth easier and livable, therefore, we have been cutting down various trees, building houses, and industries to make Earth more adaptable for humankind. These mass productions are polluting our environment, due to the fact that carbon dioxide is being released into the atmosphere. The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has a very destructive consequence, global warming. Global warming…

This paper explores the complicated and complex relationship between climate change, migration and human health. Climate change will have a number of direct impacts that can destabilize an area through exposing vulnerabilities and reducing securities. This may cause people to migrate out of an area. This migration will have negative health implications in terms of urbanization, the spread of disease, resource shortages and a lack of adequate resources. The Western Pacific region is a…

Introduction There are over several hundred species of sharks that range in size from less than 10 inches to over 20-30 feet long. The largest fish and shark in the world is the whale shark, which is believed to be a length of 30 feet long. Sharks are often stereotyped as dangerous and violent, and while in some cases this is true, but in today’s world they are captured and killed annually for a demand in their fins which leads to overfishing and illegal fishing, depleting shark populations…

Introduction This practical consisted of using a microscope on two different types of samples, human hair and Lily pollen to acquire the basics of using a microscope. Three different types of objective lenses were used (4x, 10X and 40X). Furthermore it gave an insight to particulate matter in the air. Q1. Table 1 below shows the diameter of a human hair under previous stated objective lenses Standard deviation is used in this case to quantify the amount dispersal or variation in the results.…

To illustrate, Earth’s population is growing swiftly while the flora population is decreasing briskly due to more human activity. Green plants and photosynthetic plankton in the sea are what provides us with oxygen and we need oxygen to survive (Marshall). That being the case, if all the photosynthetic species die then we are left with very little oxygen to support us and all of the other species that need oxygen…

Water is everywhere, in the air and overall Earth. About 71 percent of the Earth's surface is covered with water but the ocean holds about 96.5 percent of all Earth’s water. Because the ocean is big, a great variety of marine life are being heavily affected by different sources that harm their habitat. In 2016, numerous dead whales have been washed up on shore in different parts of the world. More than 20 whales died on Mexico’s Gulf of California coast. A dozen whales were washed up on the…

There’s only one non aggressive shark and that is the Carcharias taurus( aka Eugomphodus taurus) ,or in simpler words the Sand Tiger Shark(aka STS). Sand Tiger sharks are often seen near shorelines and in aquariums. Sand tiger sharks get their name because they live near shore lines, and they have big appetites like tigers. Sand Tiger Sharks have sharp teeth that you can see when its mouth is closed because its teeth point out from their jaws. Some people find the shark’s appearance…

Cancer, skin disease, plants and wildlife all around us dying, the ozone hole is dangerous and the threat is real. The hole in the ozone layer has the potential to cause mass damage to the Earth. The Antarctic region is devastated due to the exposure to ultraviolet light and the climate across the world has begun to shift. Due to the harmful impact humans have has on the environment, this even could cause a major catastrophe for the earth and its inhabitants. The ozone is a layer of gas in the…

bags is usually paper which is the opposite of the better option. In Oakland, California an organization backed by plastic manufacturers brought on a lawsuit claiming the city did not research enough on the reproductions of a bag ban and if they had done the research they would have realized paper bags are just as bad as plastic bags (McGrath). This has become the wave of bans on plastic bags continues every day, but most bans do not take into account that paper is just as bad and as they…
