This is destructive due to the method of capture‚ in the sea for long periods of time. While this might seem beneficial as it can catch more fish‚ it may catch sea mammals or endangered creatures that aren’t intended for capture. It has a low accuracy of the specific creature to be caught and less time to save from the

The overuse of electricity affects the ecosystem in several ways. The overuse of electricity can lead to an increased carbon footprint‚ increased climate change‚ reduction in supply‚ and high energy costs. The abiotic factors that contribute are electricity‚ smoke‚ temperature‚ climate‚ and mining. The biotic factor that affects it is people. Leaving your laptop plugged in all the time will use up 300 kilowatts an hour each year. A natural consequence of overusing energy is increased costs for you

The class focused on these subjects ‚and subjects like these for example they conducted an experiment on how and why species go extinct and experiments on the effects of the law of supply and demand. Every morning Paul had a different opening to solve before time is called‚ which included questions like “What is a population in an ecosystem?” Furthermore Paul also liked to raise his hand to answer questions like “What is biodiversity” asked
