The major greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide‚ ozone‚ methane‚ and water vapor. The increase in greenhouse gases being released into the atmosphere causes the earth’s temperature to continue rising. The greenhouse effect is caused by burning fossil fuels‚ deforestation‚ and an increase in population. With an increase demand for gasoline we have become dependant on fossil fuels which causes an increase in the greenhouse effect. Fossil fuels are any combustible organic material such as coal‚ oil‚ or natura

example of deforestation. But‚ not only did the inhabitants destroy many trees‚ they also had the bad luck to be living on one of the islands with the highest risk for deforestation. In the book‚ nine environmental causes for deforestation are mentioned‚ and the Easter Islands had to deal with all of these 9 factors. The variations in rainfall and latitude‚ the fact that it is a dry island and that it is a cooler island farther from the equator contributed mostly to the deforestation. Another contributing

But tropical forests are some of the most vulnerable to deforestation. Loss of trees means animals are forced to live on smaller areas of land that can’t support healthy populations. WWF works with communities‚ governments‚ companies and other partners in forest management to protect forests and the animals that

GROWING POPULATION Overpopulation is everyone’s problem At one point‚ the prevailing wisdom was that nations needed robust birthrates to protect their economic welfare‚ and that if only we could produce food more efficiently‚ feeding the Earth’s burgeoning population wouldn’t be a problem. Now‚ with 1 billion of the world’s people chronically hungry and the population expected to increase by 50% before the end of the century‚ we know better. Or we ought to.

the experiment. By placing both on the same windowsill means it will be a fair test. Independent variable: amount of water given Dependent variable: the growth rate Controlled variable: environment and climate The reason for using a hydroponics method is because I can’t control the forming of salt crystals in soil which can interfere with my experiment. There’s also the possibility of weeds sprouting and nutrients may vary. My aim is to prove that the “recommended amount of water needed”

Preserving the Earth Abstract Over the years many developments have been made about how Christians can preserve the Earth. From recycling‚ to using solar energy‚ to planting trees for fresh oxygen to provide clean air that deforestation has caused are the many ways Christians have took a stand in conserving our Earth. Isaiah 45:18 says‚ “ the Lord created the earth and made it; he established it‚ he created it not in vain‚ he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord and there is none else”

issues are deforestation‚ desertification‚ climate change‚ and pollution. A more general term used to identify these types of issues is Environmental Problems. Deforestation is a massive clearing of the Earth’s forests. Each year‚ strips of forest equivalent to the size of Panama are cut down and cleared. If these mass clearings continue at the rate they have been‚ all of the rain forests across the globe could cease to exist within one century. One major cause of deforestation is agriculture
