The Water Cycle The cause and effects of the water cycle also known as the H2O cycle. Are extremely significant to the entire world’s ecosystem. It is what keeps everything and everyone alive. In fact, human adult bodies are made up of about fifty-five to sixty-five percent water it. We can only live without water for 3 to 6 days and that’s only if we are not in hot or exerting situations. I’ll start off by explaining what happens in the water cycle and then I’ll explain some of the effects of it
Global warming has been a major concern that has greatly affected the environment Around the world throughout the years. Scientist have conducted experiments to comprehend the causes and effects of global warming and have been searching for solutions as well. There have been many Documentaries relating to Global Warming such as Fisher Stevens film “Before the Flood” with Leonardo DiCaprio have raised international public awareness to climate change and have re-energized the environmental protection
been an ongoing issue for decades. Beginning in the 19th century, climate change has increasingly affected Earth and its atmosphere. Rising levels of carbon dioxide are warming the Earth’s atmosphere, causing rising sea-levels, melting snow and ice, extreme fires and droughts, and intense rainfall and floods. Climate change has and will continue to affect food production, availability of water, and can add to many health risks in humans and animals. In fact, in an article by Justin Gillis titled, “Scientists
Water, Life Cannot Exist Without It Water is the world’s most natural resource and without it there would be no life on earth. Nature limits our available supply of water. Virtually all of human uses require fresh water. 97% of the Earth’s water is salt water and only 2.5% is fresh water of which over two thirds is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps. The unfrozen freshwater is mainly ground water with only a fraction on the surface. Fresh water is a renewable resource but the world usage
solutions effect the natural gases in the environment that maintain the temperatures around the world. Although that is how global warming is defined, it has a way greater effect than just temperature changes. The greenhouse effect is the exchange of incoming and outgoing radiation that warms the Earth; it is often referred to as the greenhouse effect because a greenhouse works in much the same way (LiveScience 1). The greenhouse effect , many laws due to physics, and consequences that effect the Earth

human drive to explore and discover has kept the concept of space travel and colonizing the rest of the universe a fascinating concept. Additionally, as climate change worsens on Earth and the human population continues to grow, the idea of moving out of Earth and beginning fresh becomes more and more appealing. However, Earth is the only planet known to sustain life, and whether life can be sustained elsewhere is a question that still needs to be answered. Space colonization presents a variety of new
Joel E. Cohen once stated in his How Many People Can the Earth Support?, “A little boy wanted to know the sum of one plus one. First he asked a physicist, who said, “If one is matter, and the other is antimatter, then the answer is zero. But if one is a critical mass of uranium and the other is a critical mass of uranium, then that's an explosive question.” Unenlightened, the little boy asked a biologist. She said, “Are we talking bacteria, mice or whales? And for how long?” In desperation, the boy
How Humans effect the environment? Climate change is one of the biggest problems the whole world is collectively facing. Even though climate change is partially caused by the natural cycles of Earth, humans I think are still a major part of it and I think that we can do more to protect the environment that we live in. Climate change happens when temperatures increase dramatically. When climate change causes temperature rises many environmental problems can occur here on earth . Temperatures rising
Down the Drain it Goes “We have come to the conclusion that there is no more fresh water on the earth and that there is no potable water,” says a news reporter. The earth could eventually end up like this. How much of the earth contains freshwater? Will the earth ever run out of water? If so, how long from now will we run out of water? What effects could this cause? All of these questions are ones that interest me greatly and that I would like to know the answers to. After taking an environmental
