sustainability of world environment. Ladies and Gentlemen‚ One of the causes of environmental damage is deforestation‚ or known as the destruction of forest. The deforestation has caused many disasters in this world‚ including Indonesia. Floods‚ earthquakes and landslides are examples of killing disasters which make us realize that the existence of forest is very important. In Addition‚ another effect of deforestation is related with the global warming or the increase of global surface temperature which is mainly

White 2 Deforestation Deforestation is one major issue that has been caused by human population growth. Deforestation is the loss of forest due to the act of trees being overcut. This becomes such a big issue due to a problem known as soil erosion that occurs when deforestation happens. Soil erosion is the loss of the protective top layers of soil which take away from the ability of the soil

around us‚ when we see read and watch the news‚ and when we research for ourselves. I believe the major cause in the damage of the Earth all began with the introduction of industrialization. As a result of industrialization‚ pollution came about. Deforestation was inevitable because of the expansion of urban developments. Another big player in the Earth’s damage is global warming‚ which is getting quite a lot of attention in these recent times. Let’s take the great state of Texas‚ and where I

The world as a whole currently faces several dramatic problems. Examples of these world problems include terrorism‚ desertification‚ overpopulation‚ deforestation‚ pollution‚ and world hunger. Of all these world problems the two that should currently be focused on are deforestation and pollution. Millions of acres of forests are chopped down by large lumber companies for the means of economic success. The world’s air and water is constantly polluted by dangerous machinery emissions and factorial

storms were caused by severe drought and poor farming techniques such as no crop rotation. They dug to deep into the ground‚ which destroyed all of the roots and grass in the ground that holds the soil down. Having too much agriculture‚ planting‚ overgrazing‚ and harsh winters were too much for the land to handle. Farmers also did not use the correct methods for the environment‚ which caused erosion. For example cotton farmers cleared fields and left them for the winter months. Winds are the highest

would like to project my speech on three of the most common of those ways. They are deforestation‚ marine debris and air pollution. Deforestation is the removal of a forest or stand of trees where the land is thereafter converted to a non-forest use. According to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) secretariat‚ the overwhelming direct cause of deforestation is agriculture. Deforestation has negative effects on everyone and everything. Oxygen production is drastically

temperature is rising whether we like it or not. The question is‚ are humans affecting the rise in the temperature. I believe are affecting global warming by burning fossil fuels. I think this because of the sea level‚ burning of fossil fuels‚ and deforestation. One reason I believe humans are affecting global warming is because the ocean has risen about 4-8 in the last 100 years. That may not sound like that much but it’s a significant amount. In an online article it says‚ it’s getting hotter because

Since deforestation has had no severe effect on us yet‚ we ignore the problem; however‚ deforestation can cause a major problem for our environment. Some of the problems are carbon dioxide‚ wasting paper‚ climate change and logging. Deforestation increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide in our world’s atmosphere acts like a sheet

Geography Geography is the study of the earth’s landscapes‚ peoples‚ places and environments. It is‚ quite simply‚ about the world in which we live. Geography puts this understanding of social and physical processes within the context of places and regions - recognizing the great differences in cultures‚ political systems‚ economies‚ landscapes and environments places and social groups underlie much of the newer developments in human geography across the world‚ and the links between them.

continuous degradation of the forests or what is known to be deforestation (Maycock‚ 2011‚ p.398) is being performed‚ resulting to serious problems including the displacement of wildlife species‚ the occurrence of severe effects during or after a tropical storm (which is commonly experienced by Filipinos)‚ and the increasing level of temperature in the country. In fact‚ Philippines ranks number three in the world’s fastest deforestation rate (Padilla‚ 2011) that has mainly been due to agricultural
