The overuse of electricity affects the ecosystem in several ways. The overuse of electricity can lead to an increased carbon footprint‚ increased climate change‚ reduction in supply‚ and high energy costs. The abiotic factors that contribute are electricity‚ smoke‚ temperature‚ climate‚ and mining. The biotic factor that affects it is people. Leaving your laptop plugged in all the time will use up 300 kilowatts an hour each year. A natural consequence of overusing energy is increased costs for you

conductor of electricity. If the electrons in an atom can’t be moved from their orbits at all‚ the material is an insulator. If at least some of the electrons can be moved‚ the material is a resistor. Two of the best-known conductors of electricity are silver and copper. The atomic structures of the silver and copper atom are compared in Figure 6. Note that both atoms have only one electron in the outermost orbit. This makes silver and copper excellent conductors of electricity. Silver is

In 2003 more than 3.5 million children under age 15 suffered a sports injury that required medical treatment‚ thats about one attended injury for every 10 players‚ and seventy-five percent of those injuries were the result of overuse (Hyman‚ 2009). Overuse injuries occur over a long peroid of time and occur after

seen sports injuries are overuse injuries‚ strains‚ and skeletal injuries. An overuse injury falls into the soft tissue injury category. Overuse injuries are subtle and usually occur over time‚ making them challenging to diagnose and treat. They are the result of repetitive micro-trauma to the tendons‚ bones‚ and joints. Common examples include tennis elbow‚ swimmers shoulder‚ pitching elbow‚ runners knee‚ Achilles tendinitis‚ and shin splints. Te best way to treat an overuse injury is to stay off it

Human Overuse of Resources Calls for Second Earth According to a UK study‚ growth of the population and an increasing consumption of resources could leave humans in need of a second planet as early as 2030. Human demands on natural resources have doubled in less than 50 years‚ according to the Living Planet Report. The rate at which resources are being utilized with the population as is – or growing – will exceed the capacity of the planet in about 30 years. The report also said tropical

pitchers tend to overwork themselves‚ and the parents encourage the intense training because they are blinded by competition. Intense training or overworking is more formally known as overuse. According to Dr. Eric Parks‚ the author of "Prevention of Overuse Injuries in Young Baseball Pitchers‚" the definition of overuse is the repetitive micro-traumas a player experiences (Parks and Ray 514).

An ongoing‚ and unfortunately growing‚ problem in the United States is pediatric overuse of antibiotics. The audience to whom the responsibility of this problem falls includes pediatricians and family practice physicians who are in the position to prescribe and administer antibiotics to children. Antibiotics have been one of man’s greatest discoveries in the medical realm; saving thousands of lives that would have otherwise succumb to harmful‚ disease-causing bacteria.1 However‚ with the discovery

Electricity what is it? Electricity is also known as electrical energy which is the flow of moving electrons. Electrons are from atoms which have three different components with different charges. There are protons with a positive charge‚ neutrons with a neutral charge‚ and electrons with a negative charge. But the negatively charged electrons are useless if they don’t have a circuit to travel on. A circuit is a system that is made of three different components and they are: an energy source
