Soil Erosion And Conservation SOIL EROSION AND CONSERVATION Erosion Erosion is the removal of soil particles by the motion of wind or water. Soil erosion is one of the major concerns of modern agriculture throughout the world. The fallowing contributes to soil erosion: Misuse of land‚ Mismanagement of arable land‚ Indiscriminate felling of trees‚ Overgrazing‚ Poor soil and water management Erosion causes or Results in a: Decline in soil fertility‚ Water supply‚

Agricultural Land Conservation The issues of land distribution and land conservation in agriculture attract more and more attention‚ especially when the expansion of cropland is hitting a limit since much more land is conserved for environmental purposes. Soil erosion is devastating the topsoil of land as chemical fertilizers are used to increase output within a limited amount of land. At the same time‚ livestock production expands at an ever-growing speed‚ worsening the land use situation.

Conservation is the practice of protecting plants or animals‚ and their habitats. These plants and animals may be very close to extinction. North America experienced a big loss of megafauna at the end of the Pleistocene era (about 13 000 years ago). This started a program known as “Pleistocene re-wilding”. Re-wilding involves the reintroduction of extant species into areas where they became extinct in the past. This program aims to restore the evolutionary and ecological potential that North America

[Energy resources]: The 2 broad types Pros and Cons of each type Ways in which they are harnessed There two main types of energy these are: 1. Potential energy 2. Kinetic energy Potential energy Potential energy is energy stored due to position. The following are some example in which potential energy can be found. 1. Wound-up spring When a spring of a dock work toy car unwinds‚ the stored energy in the spring drives the wheels and the car moves. The wound-up spring is said to posse potential

The Energy of the Future The United States of America is in desperate need of an alternate energy source. One such alternate source is nuclear power. Nuclear power is a form of energy produced by an atomic reaction‚ which is capable of producing an alternative source of electrical power‚ replacing the energy currently supplied by coal‚ gas‚ or oil. This will help the United States move away from burning fossil fuels and potentially reduce overall pollution. Nuclear power has the potential to be

Which is the more viable energy source for Australia’s energy and needs‚ Wind or Solar? This is a common debatable topic within the Federal Government of Australia. Debating which specific form of energy should be invested heavily in‚ in hope that carbon emissions and the use of coal will be reduced in the future (Clean Line‚ 2013). It is believed that the dominance of coal will be challenged by renewable energy e.g. Wind and Solar. Renewable energy is fast‚ clean‚ affordable‚ efficient‚ reliable
