for the preservation of many natural forest communities. For example the cone of the jack pine and the lodgepile pine will not release seeds unless they are exposed to the intense heat of a forest fire. Fire also helps animals by allowing new vegetation to grow on the cleared soil. Fire plays a huge role in natural forests. The let it burn policy allows natural fires to burn unless‚ they threaten people‚ property‚ or endangered species. This policy allows the years and years of kindling that

35. What is the difference between a ’’ and a ’’? Describe what metal speciation is. How do the master variables of the environment relate to speciation? Why is speciation important in contaminant transport and in biological contexts? If you had to pick a third “master” variable‚ what would it be? Why is chemistry vital to understanding biological systems? Species refers to the form that a metal takes in the environment. This form can be a cation (ex: Fe2+) or anion form (ex: N3-)‚ or just a bonded

The Importance of Nature in a Child’s Life Nature is made by nature‚ not by man. Nature can be used for many different things. It can be used for a natural playground‚ a learning experience‚ a science experience‚ a meditation place. The list is endless on what nature can be used for. The best part about it is that there is no list that states what it can and can’t be. It is all in your imagination. This is important for children to learn and grow with. Without nature‚ there would be no land to live

Billy Joel once said‚ “we didn’t start the fire”. He is right; global warming is a natural cause. The Earth was heating long before humans were emitting large amounts of greenhouse gases and even before humans were on planet Earth. Since humans were not alive during the period after the ice age (known as the post-ice age era)‚ then the heating of the Earth to melt the ice does not put humans at fault. Global warming is naturally caused by natural emission of greenhouse gases‚ Earth’s heating and
