In the rainforest ecosystem‚ everything is connected to one another. There is an interconnectedness existing in this ecosystem. To continue to function‚ the ecosystem depends on the interactions between the biotic and abiotic factors. An ecosystem survives by a combination of energy flow and matter recycling. To understand the interconnectedness of the ecosystem‚ food webs and food chains could be observed. Each organism depends on each other to survive and maintain their populations. In the food

The Arctic Tundra ecosystem Arctic tundra is located in the northern hemisphere‚ encircling the North Pole and extending south to the coniferous forests of the taiga. The arctic is known for its cold‚ desert-like conditions. All of the plants are adapted to sweeping winds and disturbances of the soil. Plants are short and group together to resist the cold temperatures and are protected by the snow during the winter. They can carry out photosynthesis at low temperatures and low light intensities

Paper Presented on Renewable Energy Sources – Policies of India Author- Rucha Korhale BE-Instrumentation Lecturer‚ VPM’s Polytechnic‚ Thane 1 Renewable Energy Sources – Policies of India Abstract:In today’s date‚ India is a large consumer of fossil fuel such as coal‚ crude oil etc. The rapid increase in use of Non renewable energies such as fossil fuel‚ oil‚ natural gas has created problems of demand & supply. Because of which‚ the future of Non renewable energies is becoming uncertain

Risks must not be viewed and assessed in isolation‚ not only because a single transaction might have a number of risks but also one type of risk can trigger other risks. Since interaction of various risks could result in diminution or increase in risk‚ the risk management process should recognize and reflect risk interactions in all business activities as appropriate. While assessing and managing risk the management should have an overall view of risks the institution is exposed to. This requires

Renewable energy is generally defined as energy that comes from resources which are naturally replenished on a human timescale such as sunlight‚ wind‚ rain‚ tides‚ waves and geothermal heat. Renewable energy replaces conventional fuels in four distinct areas: electricity generation‚ hot water/space heating‚ motor fuels‚ and rural (off-grid) energy services. About 16% of global final energy consumption presently comes from renewable resources‚ with 10% of all energy from traditional biomass‚ mainly

Renewable energy is the need of the hour It is the year 2050‚ Earth is so polluted‚ vision is obscured by smog‚ lakes and streams are poisoned. Oh! What a terrible sight. This may become a reality‚ if we keep using non-renewable energy resources. Hello there! A very good morning and I am Pranav Athreya and you have guessed it right‚ I am speaking for the topic Renewable energy is the need of the hour. At present‚ the main energy sources used are non-renewable fossil fuels like coal‚ petroleum‚ and

Types of Energy and Ways to Conserve Jeffery Hartman SCI/275 January 9‚ 2010 Rodrick Esaw Types of Energy and Ways to Conserve Energy conservation is important for each of us and our future generations. At the rate of consumption we can experience an energy shortage like never before. If we continue to deplete the resources that are available to us then it will affect us in many ways such as; forced rationing‚ increased cost‚ and restrictions on use. Now is the time to seriously look at alternative

of Earth’s resources has astronomically increased. Traditional manipulations of fossil fuels represent an arduous and taxing means for producing energy to power further innovation. Therefore‚ novel methods of energy production are requisite to future technological progress. Therefore‚ investments into sources of renewable energy have expanded yet have met with heated discussion. The United States is a major consumer of resources such as coal‚ oil‚ and natural gas. Consumers of energy continue to
