pollution because of tourism Tourism can cause the same forms of pollution as any other industry: air emissions‚ noise‚ solid waste and littering‚ releases of sewage‚ oil and chemicals‚ even architectural/visual pollution. Air pollution and noise Transport by air‚ road‚ and rail is continuously increasing in response to the rising numbe reported that the number of international air passengers worldwide rose from 88 million in 1972 to 344 million in 1994. One consequence of this increase in air

Deforestation has important implications for life on this planet. (Science Daily: Deforestation) In Module 5: Ecology‚ of the class content‚ it talks about deforestation. It caught my attention because the problems caused by deforestation are affecting our ecosystem in ways that I had never realized. As a result of deforestation: * The carbon cycle is affected because a major player in the uptake of carbon dioxide is destroyed. * The hydrologic cycle is disrupted because trees play a role in the cycling

values because it involves working in unison for a common goal or purpose to achieve more together than alone. It’s successful because it takes individual differences and morphs them into something more creative. It’s essential in everyday life‚ ecosystems‚ and getting further in life to achieve higher success. Nothing can be done single handedly. When we do simple tasks our feet and hands are working in unison to perform these tasks. All of our organs co-operate with each other so that we can

deforestation‚ and other causes. This could really affect the world because other plants and animals depend on these trees for life‚ whether it be for food‚ shelter‚ or other needs. Large‚ old trees provide shelter for up to 30% of animals and birds in some ecosystems. Therefore‚ if these trees die out‚ we’d be looking at other species dying out too. It’s kind of embarrassing to see what humanity is doing to the other species of the world. Link: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/12/121206162519.htm

and food webs are similar to each other‚ but they are not the same. We will explore the differences here. A food chain shows a single‚ connected path of energy flow through an ecosystem. Some animals only eat plants while some animals eat other animals. A food chain shows the different levels of eating within an ecosystem. The arrows show the flow of energy from one organism to the next. Most food chains begin with the sun at the bottom. Let’s examine the example on the right. There are three

These trees typically grow in alkaline soils but they do not live long. The fog in the valley contribute to the pine forest’s ecosystem and helps it stay alive. Yellow Pine has a montane ecosystem because it is located in the mountains. It stays in colder climates because it is in a higher elevation point. The reason why these trees are still here today is because throughout the years‚ they adapted to the environment

we don’t change our way of thinking. Daniel Quinn and Rachel Carson are passionate about the environment because of the impact that sustainability and population control will bring. Carson believes that sustainability is crucial in keeping the ecosystem in balance. Carson in Fable of Tomorrow writes “on the farms hens brooded‚ but no chicks hatched. The farmers complained that they were unable to raise any pigs.” All this was happening because people of that town did not pay attention to the changes
