Plant And Animal Nitrous Oxide
1,631 wordsThe destruction of the rainforests is one of the most crucial environmental issues of our time. It is also one of the most misunderstood and neglected. There has been so much propaganda and publicity attached to this crisis that Save the Rainforests is becoming almost as clich as Save the Whales. Why dont we take this problem more seriously? Is it because we, as Americans, simply dont understand the devastating, long-terms consequences that continued deforestation of the rainforests would have? ...

877 wordsMars has been a place NASA and other organizations have wanted to conquer after the Apollo missions. It has been several decades since anyone has sent anything to Mars. Lately though Mars has been the main focus to space engineers and scientists. This is because in 1989 President George Bush called for a manned mission to Mars (Sky & Telescope). This will cost a lot of money and effort. In 1969 people were celebrating the first manned mission to the moon. People were in awe of their own ability....

Carbon Dioxide Dry Season
3,157 words... "The ants's unless lies in the evolutionary concept of kin selection" (Hoyt 1996). This concept occurs when members of a species work for the survival of relatives - genes by descent from a common ancestor rather than for one's survival of its own offspring (which is called individual selection). This is a very complicated process in which many people have devoted their lives to its study. The gathering of food by the leaf cutting ants is a complex series of interactions and communication wh...

Effects Of Global Warming Interesting To Note
1,155 wordsOne of the hottest topics being discussed now a days is the effects of global warming on the environment and the efforts being made in order to combat the potential effects. Simply put, global warming refers to the environmental effects caused by the constant emission of carbon dioxide from carbon based fuels. These effects are supposedly widespread; the temperature of the earth will rise, the land becomes less conducive to, vegetation, and various ecosystems become extinct. There is no common c...

Surface Of The Earth Nitrous Oxide
613 wordsGlobal Global Warming Introduction: Global warming is a term that describes the green house effect-that is rise in temperature of the earth. The earths climate is predicted to change because activities are altering the chemical composition of through the building up of green house gases-primarily CO 2, CH 3, N 2 O and chlorofluorocarbon. These green house gases trap energy from the sun and heat would not escape back in to space. Thus, they warm our world. But problem is arising because the atmos...
