However, they achieve this is different ways; the different uses of logos and pathos, as well as sentence structure. In Tim Goodwin’s passage, he utilized a great deal of statistics. He states, “deaths from respiratory disease tripled.”…

Energy is never created or destroyed but is always being transferred. The sun provides all the energy and stores it in plant life. In this essay I will present my own personal food web I created myself. Energy Transfer is such an amazing thing and is a need for human life to continue. A Energy Pyramid shows the different stages of energy transfer starting with the sun to plants. Please enjoy this essay and all the amazing things our atmosphere provides.

There is no doubt that humans have influenced the environment. The evidence of our meddling can be found everywhere from anthropology to mathematics. No society is free of this burden, though some have a distinct impact apart from the whole. The current geological age is the Holocene, the time after the last Ice Age. The geologic period is typically determined by the largest influence on the Earth. Until the 1800’s, human impact on the planet had been relatively low- stable even. Around the time…

The polar bears are a fascinating species that are able to survive under extreme conditions that most animals would not be able to live in. By the end of the century, two-thirds of the world’s polar bear population could disappear. The polar bear population should be conserved. Polar bears are endangered due to global warming or Earth’s change in climate. Another key role in their endangerment is pollutants that are toxic and damaging to a polar bear’s body. A big cause is illegal hunting, where…

Competition, predation and species responses to environmental change In the study that was run they were trying to examine the effects of interspecific competition which is when individuals of different species are competing for the same resources such as food and shelter in an ecosystem and the preying of one species on another species due to species responses to temperature change (Jiang and Kulczycki, 2004). Other experiments have been run on temperature change but they do not have a good…

In 1992, Tanzania had its first national energy policy and the latest national energy policy was published in 2003.
