where nothing grows. It protected Egypt from invasions from other countries near them. It also provided Egypt with precious metals and semi-precious metals. Before 5000 B.C.‚ the majority of the land was full of vegetation‚ there was no need to depend on the Nile. Around 5000 B.C.‚ the vegetation started to dry up and become desert‚ they were forced to move towards the Nile River‚ since it was the only source of fresh water.Before 3100 B.C.‚ there were no capital cities. Some areas including‚ Abydos‚

Wild Animal Overpopulation Wild animal overpopulation can have some devastating effects on human life. Too much wildlife can hurt economy‚ make people sick‚ cause human injury or even death‚ and ruin vegetation. Hunting has been a way of life since the beginning of time. Native Americans have hunted to feed their tribes and rituals of children to become men. Dinosaurs used to hunt in order to survive. As for other animals‚ hunting is their way of life. It was

Controlled burns can; prevent further naturally started fires by burning out all the leftover dry material‚ get rid of dead plants to make room for new vegetation to grow which in turn creates new homes for animals‚ and can even help the soil gain nutrients. Some believe that controlled burning isn’t necessary and that the chance for the fire to go out of control is too high a risk to take. However‚ the

salts in the soil. The salt remains in the soil and becomes increasingly concentrated as the water evaporates or is used by plants (Australian Government‚ 2001). One of the main causes for rising water-tables is the removal of the native Australian vegetation. They have deeper roots and use more water than the crop plants that are replacing them. The crop plants have short roots and cannot absorb as much water as the native plants‚ therefore causing the water-table to rise and bring salt to the surface

Beaches face out toward the Tasman sea. This essay is going to look at the natural processes that interact to form the sand dunes‚ located toward the back of Muriwai beach. These processes are Long shore drift (LSD)‚ saltation‚ interception by vegetation and dune accumulation. Long shore drift LSD has provided the sand to form dunes. Sand was transported to the Muriwai area by L.S.D. Diagram 1. As a result of LSD sand along the west coast (including the black titanium magnatite sands

Analyzation of the Diversity of Understory Vegetation from the Hilltop to the Marsh in the Sackville New Brunswick Waterfowl Park Abstract In locations such as the Sackville New Brunswick Waterfowl Park‚ the understory layer of the temperate forest contains a diverse array of vegetation species. The diversity and composition of the understory can vary according to abiotic and biotic factors in the environment. In this experiment‚ the diversity of the understory between

Vegetation along roadways is a natural buffer area between pollutants and the waters. With salt damage and vegetation degradation it compromises the retention and processing of pollutants in stormwater. The other outcome is that it might affect out our wildlife . very small amounts of salt can result in toxicosis

Another aspect of the tundra includes the vegetation that is found there and the adaptations that have been made. The tundra is known for its’ cold temperatures‚ but also its’ limited plant species. The growth of the vegetation is primarily low to the ground and the biomass of plants is concentrated in the roots. Here the plants reproduce more likely by division and building than by

people can better understand the Earth’s environment and its ecosystems is to categorize it into groups called biomes. Biomes are arranged by specific environmental conditions (i.e. rainfall‚ temperature‚ and humidity) and house specific types of vegetation or factors that allow organisms adapt to these environments. Cataloguing organisms that share similar adaptations makes it easier to study all the environments found on Earth (Lomolino et al‚ 2017). The profile of the Earth and all its biomes
