Population growth causes using of more cars‚ boats‚ planes... All these cause more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

than all natural processes combined. As a result‚ humans play a vital role through utilizing and abusing of natural resources. Soil is exposed to erosion by two specific human activities: over-cultivation and deforestation. Also‚ another major source for soil erosion is overgrazing. Deforestation is the process of removing trees from an area of land. When forests are cut down‚ the now exposed topsoil becomes saturated with water over time. This topsoil layer eventually slides off into the waterway

Diamond explores the natural climatic conditions conducive to Easter Island’s dramatic deforestation‚ among them a very high latitude‚ minimal precipitation‚ low volcanic ash fallout‚ no makatea rock‚ and physical isolation from other islands. Diamond’s explanation is strengthened by his description of people’s contributions to this process of environmental degradation. What Diamond concludes is that the deforestation responsible for the collapse of the Easter Island society was mostly self-induced.

Large quantities of mercury are being used in gold mining to pace the work‚ so many problems occur in the atmosphere‚ sediments‚ and waterways. Loss of the biodiversity and deforestation are two significant mercury impacts toward the environment. “It is estimated globally‚ that artisanal mining since 1998 produces 20–30% of global gold production and is responsible for one third (average of 1000 t/y) of all mercury released in

corrected. Shirley Benjamin EVS 1001 Professor Gehosky Discusses three major practices that expose soil to erosion and how they can be corrected. The three major causes of soil erosion are over cultivation‚ overgrazing‚ and deforestation. These are each all major problems in creating an unsustainable society. The good thing is that each of these causes of erosion can be corrected to create a more sustainable society. Over cultivation is the practice of repeatedly cultivating

While the nature takes from 100 to 400 years to build one centimetre of top soil‚ man can and often does destroy it almost overnight by haphazard land use and improvident husbandry. Irrational methods of cultivation‚ deforestation‚ destruction of natural vegetation due to overgrazing by pasturing animals etc.‚ accelerate denudation.
