conservation of natural resources conservation of natural resources‚ the wise use of the earth’s resources by humanity. The term conservation came into use in the late 19th cent. and referred to the management‚ mainly for economic reasons‚ of such valuable natural resources as timber‚ fish‚ game‚ topsoil‚ pastureland‚ and minerals‚ and also to the preservation of forests‚ wildlife‚ parkland‚ wilderness‚ and watershed areas. In recent years the science of ecology has clarified the workings of the biosphere;

Title: Background In Bangladesh‚ natural gas is one of the important sources of energy that accounts 75% of commercial energy of the country. Again‚ Bangladesh is important to world energy markets because of its large potential natural gas reserves. This resource really reduces importing fuel from other countries and saving large number of foreign currencies. All power‚ fertilizer and today the transport sector of Bangladesh are by no means dependent on Natural Gas. From the beginning of this century

statement about evolution is FALSE? 1. Natural selection is about slow but steady progress. Through it‚ populations constantly get better-adapted. When this process is completed for all populations‚ evolution will come to a stop. 2. According to evolutionary theory‚ you are related to a bacterium‚ to a yeast cell‚ to a snake‚ and to a whale. In fact‚ you are related to every species now alive on Earth‚ and to fossil species like dinosaurs as well. 3. Natural selection acts on genetic differences

Natural selection is the process by which individual organisms with favorable traits are more likely to survive and reproduce than those with unfavorable traits. In order for natural selection to occur there must be heritable variation for a trait and there must be differential survival and reproduction associated with that trait. (C.Stated) Heritable traits become either more or less common in population as the inherited traits in the differential reproductive success of the better adapted organisms

A natural disaster is the effect of a natural hazard. Bangladesh‚ a country in southern Asia that is home to 140 million people‚ is widely known as a land of natural disasters. It is highly vulnerable to floods‚ famine‚ drought‚ earthquake‚ cyclones‚ and river erosions. Due to the effects of these disasters‚ the country is now permanently in distress. These disasters have become regular phenomena and have been causing suffering to millions of residents for many decades. Natural Disasters are occurring

Natural selection‚ a process that has long been essential to survival‚ suggests that those who can adapt to environmental change will likely be able to more successfully survive‚ and hence procreate‚ over time. When considering the impact of natural selection in relation to our modern human race‚ we can argue that discoveries in science means we have many fewer actual “predators” of concern when it comes to survival. Access to food‚ regulation of our shelters‚ and medical advancements are but a

you’re doing things which do not seem to move you forward in achieving your goals. If you keep doing something new which you’d never done before or had not done yesterday‚ you are sure to stumble upon a breakthrough that is going to propel you towards your success faster than you had ever anticipated. When you do this‚ that is‚ when you keep doing something new every day in your attempts to hit your target‚ you are copying nature‚ you are actually putting the law of genetic natural selection

Ukraine is rich in natural resources: coal‚ iron ore‚ manganese‚ nickel and uranium‚ and others. The reserves of sulfur are the largest in the world‚ the reserves of mercury ore are the second largest. Also more than 5% of world reserves of iron ore are concentrated in Ukraine. There are oil and gas deposits but their reserves are not significant (the reserves of these fossil fuels were partly depleted during the Soviet period). Coal is the main fossil fuel of Ukraine. It is mined in the Donetsk
