The Destruction of Biodiversity Why should you care? You should care‚ because there exists a chain to which all life is linked. Humans stand not apart‚ and there is no beginning or end. Extinction is like a trickling stream that grows to threaten riverbanks before drowning the world with oceans. We are foolish and naïve to assume that our creek can be maintained as we constantly introduce new species into foreign ecosystems‚ and destroy biodiversity with the detrimental effects of human integration

It can begin simply by turning off a light switch as someone leaves a room or unplugging a device when not in use. From these small acts‚ the beginning seeds of energy conservation can be sown. Energy conservation has become one of the most hotly debated subjects in the world. Old power plants are struggling to keep up‚ sometimes causing power shortages or “brown outs”‚ and new power plants are being built‚ but most of the new plants still use the same technology as their predecessors. Some

Objective: The main objective is to demonstrate the law of Conservation of Mass. Use Vinegar and baking soda to demonstrate the law of Conservation of Mass. Introduction: The law of Conservation of Mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed during ordinary chemical reactions or physical changes‚ which means that no matter how dramatic of a change that a substance goes through‚ it will not lose mass. It may seem like it lost mass‚ and usually‚ if you weighed the result‚ it will have

Wildlife Conservation Introduction Favoured with a unique geographical location and varied landforms‚ India is home to about one third of known life forms in the world. There are over 500 species of mammals and 2060 species of birds that are truly Indian. Rapid growth of human and livestock population since the turn of the century and the consequent pressure on land due to development have taken an increasingly heavy toll on the country wilderness. One of the major threats facing wildlife is the

most neglected commodity on the earth. Shifting cultivation on the hill slopes‚ non-adoption of soil conservation techniques‚ and over exploitation of land for crop production due to population stress‚ leads to enormous soil erosion. It will take hundreds of years to form an inch of soil‚ but in no time it gets washed away down the slope due to erosion. SOIL CONSERVATION Soil Conservation is the process by which the loss of soil is checked‚ reducing the velocity of run-off through erosion

equations developed at microscopic level are needed in order to provide some input into problem solving at macroscopic level. At all three levels of description (molecular‚ microscopic & macroscopic)‚ the conservation law play a key role. Conservation law – keeping from change or to hold ( a property) constant during an interaction or process. We consider two colliding diatomic molecules system. For simplicity we assume that the molecules do not interact
