Conserve and Preserve With today’s growing population‚ resource consumption is becoming a huge concern. It is important that humans realize what is best for both our present and future generation‚ and what is best for our planet. We must preserve certain areas from being destroyed to keep their natural beauty. We should also conserve resources‚ so they can continue to flourish‚ but also so we can continue to live our lives without depleting these resources. Every individual unit of the environment

Aquatic Biome! ! The aquatic biome makes up the largest part of the biosphere‚ covering nearly 75% of the Earth’s surface and consists of the freshwater biome and the marine biome. Freshwater regions consist of ponds‚ lakes‚ streams‚ rivers‚ wetlands and marine regions include oceans‚ coral reefs and estuaries. Marine biomes generally have salt concentrations that average 3%‚ whereas freshwater biomes are usually characterised by a salt concentration of less than 0.1%. The aquatic biome is probably

World Biomes Task 2: Main characteristics of grasslands. Grassland biomes are ecosystems predominantly consisting of a diverse range of grasses. Grasslands are generally flat terrains of rolling grass which are vast and continuous. The widespread of grasslands occurred during the Miocene and Pliocene Epochs in Western North America‚ where continental climates became favourable to grasslands as a result of the rise

Biomes and Diversity The importance of Biomes is regulated and should be preserved by the environment for which any particular organism is located. The ecosystems composed in relation to the Biomes differ from region to region so a controlled system most be established to balance the growth of dominant inviters. This can help stop the lose of any one particular Biome. One for instance of lose of Biomes accrued when humans take over land for the development of homes‚ mini malls‚ and so on

to show what life could be like if the human race continues in the direction it is going in. Sustainability is a main theme of the film. Sustainability is the way that something survives and flourishes throughout time. The movie encourages change to make the Earth sustainable again. The depletion of natural resources‚ the lack of attentivness‚ and the lack motivation in the human race are ways that have made the Earth unsustainable for humans. If the human race does not change and solve their problems

Preserve the Forests In agreement with Kim Stafford‚ who opposes the clear-cutting of old growth forests‚ I feel that it is necessary to preserve the profitable lumber in its natural state for future generations. Currently‚ the tons of lumber produced from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States are taken for granted‚ and most people do not realize that the forests will be destroyed within ten years at this rate of exploiting our natural resources. We must make loggers a profession

Biomes and their Characteristics There are nine biomes in the world they are: Mountains- Very cold lack of oxygen when altitude is higher and there are alot of glaziers Tundra- It is very cold not much diversity and there are two types of tundra. Arctic and Alpine. Temperate Forest- There are wide leaves and non-seasonal vegetation and mixed forests. Marine Island- Islands are cold at night and usually has good surf. Marine ecosystems has no oxygen and full of life. Desert- Barely any plants

Research Paper The ocean is one of‚ if not‚ the largest biome on earth. There are more than one million species of marine life. Covering over 70 percent of the Earth’s surface‚ the ocean is our planet’s largest habitat‚ containing 99 percent of the living space on the planet. This area holds the life of nearly 50 percent of all species on Earth. Like lakes‚ oceans are subdivided into separate zones: intertidal‚ pelagic‚ abyssal‚ and benthic. All four zones have a great diversity of species. The intertidal
