Johnny Greavu June 22‚ 2015 The Minnesota Valley Wildlife Refuge The 11‚012-acre (17.2 sq mi) Minnesota Valley Wildlife Refuge in Bloomington‚ Minnesota is the largest urban National Wildlife Refuge in the country. Shockingly close to the Mall of America and the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport‚ it is home a handful of habitats including tall-grass prairie‚ wetland‚ floodplain‚ and upland hardwood forest. 11‚700 to 9‚400 years ago‚ the valley was the River Warren‚ the drainage river of

Extinction of Earth’s Wildlife Over the last 40 years the Earth’s wildlife population has drastically declined in numbers. Since 1970‚ the world has lost 52% of its biodiversity. This was announced by the WWF (World Wildlife Fund) September 30‚ 2014. Animal populations such as mammals‚ birds‚ reptiles‚ fish‚ and amphibians are about half the size they were 40 years ago. This is a much greater decrease than the scientists originally anticipated. More than 10‚000 animal populations were studied by

Abstract: In this experiment‚ two object collided both elastically and in inelastically‚ the purpose of this experiment is to study the principle of conservation of momentum in collisions using two bodies. We also calculated the amount of kinetic energy in elastic and inelastic collisions before and after the collision. Introduction: When bodies collide with each other‚ the total momentum p = mv‚ is always conserved regardless of the type of collision provided no external forces are present. There

Conservation is the protection and preservation of natural resources in the enviorment. the important renewable natural resources are air water soil wildlife and forests. Conservation is necessary for the following reasons: 1. ensure the protection of plant and animal species and to prevent their extinction‚ 2. maintain a stable and balanced ecosystem. This prevents disruption of natural cycles and global warming. 3. to ensure conservation of marine life as they are a major source of human

QUESTION( Conservation of Energy) 1. Missy Diwater‚ the former platform diver for the Ringling Brother’s Circus had a kinetic energy of 15 000 J just prior to hitting the bucket of water. If Missy’s mass is 50 kg‚ then what is her speed? Solution: According to energy conservation‚ the kinetic energy at the bottom of the dive (15‚000J) is equal to her gravitational potential energy before the dive. We can use this fact to find her dive height: PE = mgh h = PE/mg = 15‚000J / (50kg)(9.81m/s²)

Importance Of Nature Conservation In Civil Engineering Globally‚ civil engineering especially for construction industry is arguably one of the most resource-intensive and environmentally damaging industries in the world. Construction accounts for 40% of the total flow of raw materials into the global economy every year. The sector operates through land use planners‚ who determine the location and nature of development‚ clients‚ including house builders and commercial property developers‚ who determine

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.

Energy audit An energy audit is an inspection‚ survey and analysis of energy flows in a building‚ process or system with the objective of understanding the energy dynamics of the system under study. Typically an energy audit is conducted to seek opportunities to reduce the amount of energy input into the system without negatively affecting the output(s). When the object of study is an occupied building then reducing energy consumption while maintaining or improving human comfort‚ health and safety
