Another major problem is that shamans, or medicine men, who have hundreds of ingredients to plant properties are very elder and if that person dies without passing his knowledge to younger generations everything he knows is lost. As if the extinction of plants and animals were not enough, deforestation has been the cause of many indigenous tribes living in the rainforest to be wiped out. From over 6 million indigenous people inhabitin...

Fossil Fuels Greenhouse Gases
1,295 wordsThe importance of the greenhouse effect was just conceived in the mid-twentieth century. "For billions of years, cosmic forces shaped Earth, and land and air coevolve at an almost inconceivably slow pace to create a climate in which human beings and other creatures could flourish. " (Francesca Lyman). Now, for the first time, humanity has the power to change the global climate. By releasing the huge amounts of carbon stored in fossil fuels over millions of years, we are distorting the natural ca...

Acid Rain Sulfur Dioxide
566 words"Acid rain" is a broad term used to describe several ways that acids fall out of the atmosphere. A more precise term is acid deposition, which has two parts: wet and dry. Wet deposition refers to acidic rain, fog, and snow. As this acidic water flows over and through the ground, it affects a variety of plants and animals. The strength of the effects depend on many factors, including how acidic the water is, the chemistry and buffering capacity of the soils involved, and the types of fish, trees,...

Nuclear Energy Uranium Fission
1,199 wordsThousands of years ago human beings learned to make fire. By collecting and burning wood they were able to warm themselves, cook food, and manufacture primitive tools. Later, the Egyptians discovered the principal of the sail. Even more recent was the invention of the water wheel. All of these activities utilize various forms of energy-biological, chemical, solar, and hydraulic. Energy, the ability to do work, is essential for meeting basic human needs, extending the life expectancy, and providi...

Western United States Sulfur Dioxide And Nitrogen
1,519 wordsAcid rain is polluted rain. The pollutants go up to the atmosphere and when it rains it brings the pollution down with it. Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide are the gases that form the acid rain. When these gases mix with moisture it can make rain, snow, hail, or even fog. The scientific term for acid rain is acid deposition which means when the acid is taken from the air and is deposited on the earth. Major industries, coal burning factories, power plants and automobile engines are the main sou...

Carbon Dioxide Emissions Third World Countries
2,333 wordsGlobal Warming (1) The problem of Global warming is considered one of the most troubling issues of contemporary era. It has been noticed that the average air temperature in different parts of the world is being on constant rise, ever since humanity's existence began to depend more and more on exploitation of fossil fuels. Whereas in 1870, the carbon fuel emissions in the air were almost non-existent, in 2000, the amount of such emissions has reached 6 billion tons. Many scientists agree that it ...

Million Years Ago Permian Extinction
1,401 wordsAnthropology Is human extinction possible? Why does this happen? What causes a species to be extinct? Can human race prevent it? To answer these questions we must first define what extinction means, what types are there and why do they occur. As extinction is a continual product of natural selection, since the dawn of competition spawned by the first meiosis event, natural selection has altered all life on earth, precariously engaging in life experiments some that work and some that dont. Those ...
