ESSAY: Using examples from the industrialised and developing world‚ explain how and why we should conserve woodlands & forests Forests and woodlands provide many social‚ economic‚ and environmental benefits. In addition to timber and paper products‚ forests provide a wildlife habitat and recreational opportunities‚ prevent soil erosion and flooding‚ help provide clean air and water‚ and contain tremendous biodiversity

surroundings‚ their surroundings in this case being the drainage basin and therefore the storm hydrograph is affected. These physical factors would be factors such as Basin‚ Size Shape and Relief‚ types of precipitation‚ land use; they contribute to regulating the ways in which a river responds to precipitation. The size‚ shape and relief of the basin are very important controls. For instance if the basin is small it is most likely expected that the rainfall will reach the main channel more rapidly

Different phenomena occurs with regards to them. Sometimes‚ weather and climate are classified as the same because it has referred to as a change in atmospheric condition. But‚ what is really a WEATHER and a CLIMATE? Weather and

Global climate change has positive and negative effects on marine and terrestrial ecosystems. The cause of global climate change is said to be because carbon dioxide is being emitted through the large scale burning of oil‚ coal and gas‚ with an additional contribution coming from clearing of tropical forests and woodlands which results in wildlife life destruction. The carbon dioxide traps heat from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere and prevents it from being sent back out into space. The heat that

Will it Precipitate? Precipitation occurs when two aqueous (soluble solids) solutions are combined and the reaction forms an insoluble solid. When insoluble solids are formed the process is known as a precipitation. An insoluble solid is a solid that cannot dissolve unlike a soluble solid. Therefore only insoluble solids can form precipitates. In the following experiment six solutions were mixed with each other (groups of twos) in test tubes to test which reaction will result in an insoluble solid

development. As before mentioned‚ the climate in the Intermountain Region varies with elevation and location‚ in some parts it is cold and wet or dry and hot in winters. Going southward winters are lacking in precipitation and are dry and short. North‚ precipitation is also scarce but the climate is more moderate with dry‚ hot summers and moist winters. Also in the north‚ because the summers are shorter the growing season is shorter as well‚ which does not help the agriculture industry
