The natural disasters that are typically experienced in the Caribbean can have catastrophic and devastating impacts on the environment‚ economic development and social structure of these islands. Severe damage to the built infrastructure that has supported communities on Caribbean islands for decades can place a huge strain on economic activity. The social impacts that are experienced following natural disasters consist of homelessness‚ injury‚ suffering‚ sickness‚ disease‚ and even death. This paper

Conservation of Natural Resources Introduction: Humans have always made use of other species. Most wild species are found in areas where people live. This is either because people want to gather natural resources from there or they put their life to risk for purpose. Over the last 10‚ 000 years our food has come increasingly from cultivated plants and animals. This has resulted in the rapid increase in human population. The wise and smart use of the earth’s resources by humanity is termed as

introduced to evolution by way of Natural Selection‚ Artificial Selection‚ and Sexual Selection. The process of evolution is seen in species that undergo changes over long periods of time by adapting characteristics which will better suit them to their environments. By utilizing a combination of both hypothetical imagery and scientific observation‚ Darwin has developed a persuasive argument intended to shed light on the origins of life. Natural Selection Natural selection is understood as the evolutionary

Natural Hazards – Bushfires A natural hazard is a natural event that has a significantly negative effect on people or the environment. Many natural hazards are related. For example drought can lead to famine and earthquakes can form tsunamis and landslides. Australia’s most common natural hazards are storms‚ cyclones‚ floods‚ droughts‚ heatwaves and bushfires. Natural Hazards have a major impact on Australian communities including loss of life‚ property damage‚ environmental destruction‚ and a

The population for Allele a appeared frequently‚ which leads me to believe that Allele a had a more dominant existence‚ thus leading to its survival over Allele A. Did the effect of natural selection vary with different starting allele frequencies in identical environments? Why or why not? Yes‚ because the natural selection varied the number alleles that appeared more frequently. More frequent appearances lead to more population of that allele. A population in which the frequency of alleles

Natural Hazards and Natural Disasters A natural hazard is a threat of a naturally occurring event will have a negative effect on humans. This negative effect is what we call a natural disaster. In other words when the hazardous threat actually happens and harms humans‚ we call the event a natural disaster. Natural Hazards (and the resulting disasters) are the result of naturally occurring processes that have operated throughout Earth’s history. Effects of Hazards Hazardous process of all

Natural gas and oil There are 22 discovered gas fields in Bangladesh of various sizes. The total reserve of 20 gas fields is about 26 Tcf (trillion cubic feet). Gas in most of the fields is dry‚ in a few fields it is wet. For example at Beanibazar (16 bbl/mmcfg)‚ Jalalabad (15 bbl/mmcfg)‚ and Kailashtila (13 bbl/mmcfg). Currently‚ natural gas accounts for more than 70% of the total commercial energy consumption and the major part of the future energy demand would be met from it. Power sector ranks

Summary: Water pollution remains one of the most visible and persistent signs of our impact on the natural world. Cleanup of some older pollutants has been offset by new contaminants that threaten freshwater ecosystems and foul our drinking water. The sight and smell of grossly polluted waterways provided some of the original impetus to the environmental movement in the 1970s. Nearly a century before that‚ the dangers of polluted water to human health drove what became known as the "sanitary
