Soil During Industrial Revolution

The movie dirt was very informative, and showed me a lot about dirt that I have never known. I did not know that out of all of the known planets, Earth is the only one that has living and breathing dirt. Because of how many different elements there are to Dirt, it may be more alive than all of us. Dirt is the most important element. We need to protect and save Dirt because we depend on it for life. Another interesting fact is that in just a handful of dirt, there can be billions of microorganisms. We take the soil for granted, because there is so much of it. I did not know that soil alone has more life than any substance on any other planet in the solar system. Soil is necessary to keep our biosphere health. A lof of the soil as created after

Every day when looking out a window, people see a beautiful earth. The earth is intriguing, but hinges on a delicate balance. Many natural resources keep the grass green and the sky blue. Man has made quite an impression on our world, and has transformed the earth's resources into tools to make life easy. However, mans' manipulation on earth has become detrimental to the health of our planet and the safety of mankind. Through the use and production of resources such as oil and energy, man is gradually poisoning the earth. Pollution has become such a dilemma in society; there is no real control or a feasible solution to society's recklessness. Without complete change, our system will collapse. The earth will eventually retaliate with disaster, or corporate control of our economy will cause hysteria and depression. Evaluation of the consequences and repercussion of worldwide pollution, may give people a better idea of what the future holds.

Since the dawn of the industrial revolution, human activities have had an undeniable impact on the environment. The destruction of the environment has far-reaching consequences, and there is little that has been done to help improve, not just maintain, the environment. As seen in the degradation of our soil, air quality, and water availability, current human behavior causes a decline in the earth's health, and current environmental protections are few and far between. Soil quality is currently declining, and good soil is something that is vital to the continuation of healthy agricultural practices and healthy people. Without good soil, there can be no base to the buildings that are created, and no roots for the plants we grow. When there is no water available, power is not generated by giant dams we build, and the irrigation we dig is useless. If there is no water, there is no life, and with no life, the world's ecosystems are destabilized, and we are thrown out of balance. The natural world relies on the careful balancing of man-made and organic, and with the regulations we currently have, the scales are tipping towards a man-made catastrophe.

The industrial revolution was a bad habit starter for humans. This revolution into the modern world created some bad habits that are detrimental to the earths quality in many aspects, such as biodiversity or the variant of living things each organism contributing to the ecosystem no matter how small, the rapidly increase in deforestation causing a loss of biodiversity plus more and more soil degradation which happens to affect the water quality and quantity. These problems can all be traced back to the industrial revolution as it started a habit of these things and also expanding our life expectancy making so we needed more and more materials making companies in turn to increase the amount they do it. There are certain ways we can combat these habits and change for the better. If we are looking to change it might help to look back in time and see past attempts that failed to help us and the possible outcomes if we had listened to the acts that came and passed over time.

Thesis statement: However, today we can see very huge environmental changes all over the world as a result of human activities such as using nature resources that will convert into poison gases and damage the nature resulting with huge climate changes, air and water pollutions with rising number of deaths.

The soil is an essential element of a sustainable food system. A healthy soil is one of the most valuable resources on the Earth not just because of its role in growing food but also because it is the host of many organisms. The ground has all the nutritional components to raise the vegetables and fruits in people’s diet. Therefore, the soil needs special care to recover the nutrients that it loses in each harvest. I witnessed an example of smart soil management during my time living in the country. I remember

Humanity has had thousands of years on Planet Earth to indulge in the many resources Earth has to offer. Over the years of trial and error within industry, innovation, and creation, humanity began to destroy the planet without recognizing the dangers that would come to be in later years. Causes and effects of pollution became increasingly aware to the population, as respiratory diseases began to rise in numbers. Pollution is the product of human industry. Innovators are forced to find new ways to keep up with the rapid growth of the population by any means resulting in the deterioration of Earth and its exhaustible resources. The environment and the population has suffered from many negative influences that must be prevented in order to ensure the existence of future generations.

The increase of pollution and its effect, economically, is big-huge even. Environmental degradation is the destruction of the ecosystem of the Earth through consumption of environmental assets such as fossil fuels and minerals, or through pollution, of the air, water, and soil. The United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction defines it as “the lessening of the limit of the earth to meet social and environmental destination, and needs”. Any change in an environment that is proven to be undesirable to wildlife, including plants, insects, animals, and nature’s cycles characterize destruction. This loss of habitat is at a rapid growth, with the expansion of human population, comprised with excessive exhaustion of polluting technologies, such as cars, power plants, without excluding polluting factors like abundance of unrecyclable garbage. Being one the largest threats to mankind as it has led to global warming, environmental degradation is a greater threat to civilization than other materialistic issues, like the economy, as degradation can impact human health, lead to a loss biodiversity, and can lead to economic issues.

For millions of years, all organisms have relied and survived on what the planet provides but in the last century industries have peaked and its production was the highest during the last ten years These industries produce carbon monoxide causing many problems for the earth's health like global warming and pollution. Although there is help for pollution reduction not enough is being done to preserve the earth’s natural resources-air,water, and soil.

Soil is the loose material on the Earth’s surface that is made up of organic and mineral matter where plants grow. “Soil is the major source of nutrients needed for plants for growth. The three main nutrients are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K).”(NSW Government, 2004) Soil contains nutrients and water needed for the plant, and also contains living organisms which helps to decompose organic matter and help with producing nutrients for the plant to intake.

As the years go by--the population kept increasing and the demand for food and industrial materials increases--the soil is being endangered. The activities of humans and the lack of laws or inactive laws is associated with this

From the brief detailed discussion on the importance of soil to the low and higher life forms as well as to the environment, it is important to understand its formation and the factors involved in this process. Soil formation is an intricate process that allows for the development of soil based on several factors, which influence it ( Nadimi & Farpoor, 2011). The paper delves deeper into understanding the process of soil formation and the role each factor plays in determining the overall soil development process and composition. Comprehension of these factors and soil formation process allows the global community to appreciate the environment and equips the society with information

Soil is the thin layer of organic and inorganic materials that covers the Earth's rocky surface. The organic portion, which is derived from the decayed remains of plants and animals, is concentrated in the dark uppermost topsoil. The inorganic portion made up of rock fragments, was formed over thousands of years by physical and chemical weathering of bedrock. Productive soils are necessary for agriculture to supply the world with sufficient food.

Capacity of a soil to function in supporting important ecosystems without producing a negative interaction with the environment is referred to as soil quality (Larson and Pierce, 1991). This concept integrates physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil (Idowu et al, 2009). As there is an increased awareness regarding the impact of soil management on environmental quality and production of agriculture (Doran and Parkin, 1994), this concept of soil quality has gained increased attention all over the world (Idowu et al, 2009). These interactions determine the ability of the soil to perform some of its very important functions such as retention and release of nutrients, moisture, and resistance to degradation

We are living in a world today that is being subjected to various forms of destruction; life on earth is threatened due to the large devastating impact of human industries on the eco-system and on the environment. Over the course of history and with industrialization, humans have developed new smart ways to produce energy and manufacture materials, but these ways aren’t as smart as they may seem, because of the horrendous effects they leave on the environment and on humans themselves. Pollution is an outcome of the forms of destruction that humans have put upon themselves, right from the very first invention of the steam locomotives in the 19th century till the development of nuclear power plants in the 21st century. When we discuss pollution we are looking at a very wide subject, because many aspects branch out from it, these aspects may be classified as follows: - Air pollution.
