Conservation of Energy In explaining the laws of conservation of energy‚ energy cannot be destroyed or made. Although‚ energy can be transformed or transferred from one form to another‚ for example: The total amount of energy in any system never changes but stays constant over time. Second example: Coal is burned‚ and then used as thermal energy for heat‚ next the steam is used for mechanical energy. Energy is never destroyed but changed to forms like thermal energy‚ gravitational energy‚ electromagnetic

Conservation of matter and energy Introduction to conservation of matter and energy The conservation of matter and energy means that the total amount of energy and the total amount of matter is always constant in a given closed‚ isolated system. In other words‚ neither energy nor mass can be created or destroyed in any physical or chemical process. Formation of the law of conservation of matter and energy Until the discovery of mass - energy equivalence by Albert Einstein in 1905‚ conservation

Environmental injustice exists when members of a certain group suffer disproportionately from environmental risks‚ hazards‚ or violations of fundamental human rights (Carder). These injustices are usually caused by unfair government/court decisions‚ being denied access to information and denied participation in a decision-making process (Carder).

Soil erosion is devastating the topsoil of land as chemical fertilizers are used to increase output within a limited amount of land. At the same time‚ livestock production expands at an ever-growing speed‚ worsening the land use situation.
