Dangers of Oil Spills (Article for Environment Awareness magazine) Oil slicks do so much more damage than just the initial havoc we see on the news; the effects can be long lasting. The recent Deep water BP oil leak disaster in the Gulf of Mexico well and truly eclipsed the Exxon Valdez oil spill of 1989 and now has the potential of being one of the largest oil spills on record. Latest official estimates state approximately 4.1 million barrels of oil contaminated the

Ecologists are concerned about the rising danger to barn owls in North America caused by harmful chemicals that their natural habitats are being exposed to. Their natural habitats consist of grasslands‚ fields‚ suburbs‚ and cities‚ which are often poisoned by organophosphate pesticides‚ pollution‚ and other harmful chemicals that are poisonous to barn owls. Predatory animals such as the barn owl are threatened by these harmful chemicals‚ as they may be ingested by the barn owl’s prey or directly

extinction is the end of an organism or of a group of organisms (taxon)‚ normally a species. Ordovician-Silurian extinction‚ global extinction event occurring during the Hirnantian Age (445.6 million to 443.7 million years ago) of the Ordovician Period and the subsequent Rhuddanian Age (443.7 million to 439 million years ago) of the Silurian Period that eliminated an estimated 85 percent of all Ordovician species. This extinction interval ranks second in severity to the one that occurred at the

We have learned many things about the dinosaurs mass extinction and how these forces can impact us today. Such as‚ the speed (velocity)‚ mass‚ force‚ and the lack of air friction of the object that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago was so great that it caused a collision with the Earth great enough to cause an extinction. Potential and kinetic energy are also involved in this. These forces and more such as‚ gravity‚ momentum‚ friction and more that we now know about can
