China’s ironwork led to air pollution, and its agriculture led to the soil erosion that caused the Yellow River to get its yellow-brown color. Who contributed to…

Steel is created when iron is smelted with carbon in a fire pit. To create steel you have to have a metal specialist, a person that sits by the fire and keeps track of the iron smelting. A civilization can only have a specialist if their civilization has a stable food supply. If a civilization is always hunting and gathering then they have no extra time to learn and develop new ideas. Steel specialists created stronger tools and…

For many centuries, it has been used a source of fuel. Many generations would not have been able to survive if it weren’t for the energy stored in coal. The book also does not fully discuss all of the uses of graphite…

aluminium industry followed by waste effluents at 10.1 percent are the other major producers. The lowest at 5.7 percent was the transportation industry (Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 2003, Zainal, 2012). Petroleum processing and Refining. Aluminum smelting is another contributor.
