The idea of promoting local agricultural co-ops can assist in spreading of knowledge or methods of preserving soil‚ supplying food to families or for trade‚ and reducing the need for deforestation to name a few. By spreading information new methods of keeping the soil rich in nutrients are bound to pop up. Passage B states‚" Learning methods that will preserve and build up soil will produce better crops."

The major greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide‚ ozone‚ methane‚ and water vapor. The increase in greenhouse gases being released into the atmosphere causes the earth’s temperature to continue rising. The greenhouse effect is caused by burning fossil fuels‚ deforestation‚ and an increase in population. With an increase demand for gasoline we have become dependant on fossil fuels which causes an increase in the greenhouse effect. Fossil fuels are any combustible organic material such as coal‚ oil‚ or natura

In the book‚ nine environmental causes for deforestation are mentioned‚ and the Easter Islands had to deal with all of these 9 factors. The variations in rainfall and latitude‚ the fact that it is a dry island and that it is a cooler island farther from the equator contributed mostly to the deforestation. Another contributing

Hazards occur when there are adverse effects on human activities. This can include surface faulting‚ ground shaking and liquefaction. In this essay I will be discussing the factors that affect earthquakes‚ whether human such as population density‚ urbanisation and earthquake mitigation or physical such as liquefaction‚ magnitude‚ landslides and proximity to the focus. Economic Development is one of the greatest human factors that affect the impacts. For example‚ in the Northridge Earthquake‚ California

Preserving the Earth Abstract Over the years many developments have been made about how Christians can preserve the Earth.

But tropical forests are some of the most vulnerable to deforestation. Loss of trees means animals are forced to live on smaller areas of land that can’t support healthy populations. WWF works with communities‚ governments‚ companies and other partners in forest management to protect forests and the animals that

GROWING POPULATION Overpopulation is everyone’s problem At one point‚ the prevailing wisdom was that nations needed robust birthrates to protect their economic welfare‚ and that if only we could produce food more efficiently‚ feeding the Earth’s burgeoning population wouldn’t be a problem.

It is expected that the urban population would increase from 35%to 45% by 2010. However‚ migration leads to urbanisation which usually accompanies social and economic developments. In some developing countries like Africa the growth reflects rural crisis than urban based development. But reversely‚ migration to cities may affect the host place‚ place of origin and
