WEEK 4 DQ 1 Identify a local environmental problem in your area. Climate change‚ toxic contamination‚ eutrophication (low oxygen due to excess nutrients)‚ and near shore habitat changes‚ have led to this Environmental issue‚ which has caused a decline in certain species‚ e.g.‚ forage fish‚ salmonids‚ bottom fish‚ marine birds‚ harbor porpoise and orcas. What is the environmental-justice questions surrounding this problem? Should petitioning to add species to the Endangered Species Act (ESA)

Environmental issues are harmful effects of human activitity on the biophysical environment. Environmentalism‚ a socialand environmental movement that started in the 1960s‚ addresses environmental issues through advocacy‚ education and activism. The carbon dioxide equivalent of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere has already exceeded 400 parts per million (NOAA) (with total "long-term" GHG exceeding 455 parts per million). (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Report) This level is considered

Climate change: Climate change is simply define as change in global weather condition such as temperature‚ pressure etc. Climate change is a change in statistical distribution of weather pattern over time ranging from decades to millions of years. It may be change in weather conditions or distribution of weather around the average condition. Climate change is caused by factors such as oceanic process (e.g. oceanic

Climate change is defined as the significant fluctuations in weather patterns. These fluctuations could be caused by harmful human activities or even the natural processes occurring on Earth. It is also a broader term to describe global warming and all the changes that occur on a certain location’s climate. Some signs of climate change include higher temperature‚ frequent occurrences of droughts‚ warmer temperature of the oceans‚ rising sea levels and melting glaciers. It greatly affects the

4. Do you agree with Kepler? Explain. Yes I agree with Kepler because of the definition of matter. Which is anything that has mass and takes up space. So any object that has matter can be considered geometry. 5. In grade school teachers often have geometry scavenger hunts; they ask students to find as many triangles‚ rectangles‚ and circles as they can. Spend a few minutes doing this. Write down all of the basic shapes that you find. Let’s see what happens if we are not confined to thinking of

To put it in its simplest terms‚ climate change refers to the long term change in the earth’s temperature‚ particularly an increase in the average atmospheric temperature (Dictionary.com). Although there are some natural causes for climate change‚ most scientists are in agreement that humans are at least in part responsible for some of the effects we have already seen and must therefore take corrective action immediately to slow the process before it is too late and irreversible catastrophic damage

range of environmental changes. These changes on the geography of the Earth within such a small time frame are unheard of‚ and may be irreversible. Climate change has a wide range of adverse effects on the natural world and manmade systems. The main concerns are the risks posed on the Earths geophysical and ecological processes. Many causes influence climate change with the main cause being increased atmospheric greenhouse gases. Other major causes include deforestation‚ land-use changes‚ and chlorofluorcarbons

Climate change Climate change is a significant and lasting change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It may be a change in average weather conditions or the distribution of events around that average (e.g.‚ more or fewer extreme weather events). Climate change may be limited to a specific region or may occur across the whole Earth‚ such as global warming. Terminology The most general definition of climate change is a change

Do you agree with the Infancy Doctrine? Why or why not? What do you think the laws should be regarding contracts of adults with minors? I agree with the Infancy Doctrine; this law seeks to protect those who are under the age of eighteen who are unable to protect themselves from harmful contracts. These young individuals lack the capacity‚ comprehension‚ or experience to enter these contracts. The laws are necessary to keep minors out of trouble; it also keeps adults from misusing contract with
