abused constantly and we are unable to calculate the damages incurred. Land Pollution has come to become one of the serious concerns that we collectively battle. Land pollution‚ in other words‚ means degradation or destruction of earth’s surface and soil‚ directly or indirectly as a result of human activities. Anthropogenic activities are conducted citing development‚ and the same affects the land drastically‚ we witness land pollution; by drastic we are referring to any activity that lessens the quality

between lithology‚ topography‚ soils and vegetation. Vegetation is the sum of plant life covering the ground in an area. Vegetation is a more generalised term than flora. Lithology‚ topography and soils all have a relationship and impact on vegetation. Lithology is the macroscopic physical characteristics of a rock‚ (Thomas and Goudie‚ 2004). Such as the porosity‚ grain size and chemical composition. The lithology that lies beneath the soil has an impact on the soil in an area‚ both the type and

Aracely Arzola Contaminations We were only gifted with one Earth so it’s up to us to take care of it and make sure environment remains beautiful and full of life. Contamination is a big threat that Earth faces today because it pollutes our environment and destroys it little by little. All the waste‚ smoke and trash have to come to an end because they pose a menace to the purity of our ecosystem. We find all that we need for life from water to plants and air in our environment.

Abstract In this paper soil compaction is described in relation to soil physical factors‚ root growth‚ and nutrient uptake by crop plants; rice growth and yield. In compaction‚ soil solids are rearranged with compression of liquid and gaseous phases accompanied by volume change. Soil compaction affects water retention characteristics‚ water intake rates‚ and gaseous exchange. In compacted soil‚ bulk density‚ microvoids‚ thermal conductivity‚ and nutrient mobility increase and macrovoids‚

The Center for Disease control has estimated that illnesses directly resulting from food contamination cause approximately 76 million illnesses‚ 325‚000 hospitalizations‚ and 5‚000 deaths each year in the United States. The rise of food-related illnesses can be mostly attributed to increased eating out. Half of every dollar spent on food in this country is spend on food prepared outside of the home. As the amount of people involved preparing our food rises‚ so does the risk of contracting an illness
