Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTGs) Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators are used to convert heat from the natural radioactive decay of plutonium into electrical energy. In The Martian‚ they had used RTGs to power the MAV far away from their habitat incase of a radioactive leakage. In real life‚ the radiation on Mars is more dangerous that the radiation from RTGs‚ so the natural radiation is more of a concern to NASA. The RTGs has advantages over solar power‚ it works during storms and during

A very good morning to all present .The topic of today’s debate is “Do we need zoos or not” I am here to speak in favour /against of the motion. ZOO-AGAINST Animals belong in their natural habitat in the wild.

There are numerous causes of climate change and multiple solutions for these causes. Today‚ people do not take climate change seriously enough‚ and there can be tremendous consequences if society does not start putting plans into action. Carbon dioxide emissions‚ deforestation‚ agriculture‚ and improperly disposing of waste‚ all contribute to climate change‚ which in turn has major effects on the planet. Climate change can have major effects on the planet. For example‚ in the article‚ “What is Climate

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 by the barn owl.Barn Owls prey on mice‚ vole‚ and small birds‚ all of which can be found in their natural habitat: grasslands

Deforestation is when people burn or cut down a group of trees. It has many negative effects on environment such as climate change‚ clearing of habitats‚ and killing millions of species. The trees are used for fuel‚ to create commercial items such as paper‚ and highly prized items such as palm oil from palm trees. “Deforestation in Amazon Basin is destroying the habitat and endangers a multitude of plant and animal species indigenous to the area.” Deforestation is not only the clearing of forests

1411 left in India! Steps to save Tigers 10:21 AM | Posted by Rocky Singh Over the past century the number of tigers in India has fallen from about 40‚000 to less than 4‚000 (and possibly as few as 1‚500). Relentless poaching and clearing of habitat for agriculture have been the primary drivers of this decline‚ though demand for tiger skins and parts for "medicinal" purposes has become an increasingly important threat in recent years. However the news is not all bad. Research published last

Salt Marshes • Salt marshes are found along low lying coastlines where boggy ground is flooded by sea water either daily or less frequently. • Many UK salt marshes have been reclaimed for farm land‚ but those that remain provide valuable habitats where salt-tolerant plants grow and birds nest. Salt marshes also pay a vital role for coastal protection‚ they contain creeks which allow tidal waters to flow both in and out which reduces the wave energy. Plants in the marsh are also effective
