The day was hot‚ oscillating. It was one of the few days illuminated when asked about my life‚ a faint shard of revelation. The atmosphere is in the past‚ yet the air within tremors‚ intertwined with the accumulation of frustration. As if any variable alternates‚ the equilibrium between vibrating molecules will burst‚ where the lines between good and evil fade. The death limbo never appeared to care nor paid any gratitude -tossing‚ tumbling‚ turning- a senseless vessel rag-dolled against a rigid

Every single say we affect the lithosphere‚ whether we know it or not. Simple things just like a little rain effects it. Ways that processes and forces affect the lithosphere is water. When it runs off it causes chemical reactions that break down rocks. The rainwater dissolves the rocks to form caves and to move rock and soil to other places. By doing this is causes major erosion. Erosion is very bad because it slowly breaks away soil‚ and takes out all the nutrients that plants need to survive.

The Littoral Zone The littoral zone‚ commonly referred to as the intertidal area‚ is where the land and water meet. It is rich in nutrients and oxygen and is home to a variety of organisms. The littoral zone provides some plants with the opportunity to complete their growth cycle‚ but the changing water level also brings about some environmental problems‚ such as soil erosion and biodiversity reduction (Chen). The word littoral means shore. Therefore‚ the littoral zone of a pond is

Overpopulation can result from an increase in births‚ a decline in mortality rates‚ an increase in immigration‚ or an unsustainable biome and weakening of resources. It is possible for very sparingly populated areas to be overpopulated if the area has a skimpy or non-existent capability to sustain life. Another contemporary environment issue would be Energy
