be the coral reefs, the most biodiverse ecosystem on the planet. The ocean serves as a “Carbon Sink”, absorbing a large amount of Carbon but when the ocean absorbs too much Carbon dioxide, it warms and a process known as ocean acidification occurs. The Carbon dioxide mixes with the water and carbonate in the ocean creating bicarbonate ions (Talk), and when the ocean gets too acidic, the corals die off, giving off a “bleached look” thus rending the ecosystem uninhabitable. Hence the term Coral bleaching

Biological diversity evolution combines the millions of species that live on our planet, and the genetic differences in those species. Biodiversity plays a key role in maintaining healthy ecosystems and sustaining ecosystem services to the growing human population. It also refers to the massive amount of diverse ecosystems in which species form distinctive communities that interact with each other. One example of biological diversity evolution is the North American Garter Snake. This snake lives primarily

biosphere would be able to sustain life in the aquatic and terrestrial sections. The hypothesis was that if there were sufficient and well balanced biotic and abiotic factors, the ecosystems would be able to sustain themselves and thus, become a self-sustaining biosphere where all living creatures thrive in a man-made ecosystem. The expectation for the aquatic system is that not only would the fish probably survive, but also the pondweed. The reasoning behind this prediction is a direct result of maintaining

Geology plays an important role in affecting the health and well being of billions of people worldwide. It contributes to human health issues in many ways, including water and air quality, and soil erosion. We face health hazards from biological, chemical, and physical factors from the environment geologically. The geological characteristics of the earth's surface can directly influence human health through ingestion and inhalation of specific elements, or compounds from naturally occurring materials

agriculture, they runoff into small rivers and ends up entering huge water bodies like seas and oceans. They affect the aquatic life. Fishes and other water organisms face difficulty in breathing and die. This lead to loss of biodiversity in the aquatic ecosystem. I also plan to touch on the disturbance in the food chain.    Second one will be on health of organisms. Human health is also affected by the pesticides through the food commodities. When the pesticides are sprayed on the crops, fruits and vegetables

majority end up in our landfills,choke our rivers and storm drain system, and make their way to the ocean where they threaten marine life” (Jesus Betancourt, 2012). Consequently, this would result in a constant overflowing of plastic bags harming our ecosystems and the systems that

Today, about thirty percent of our planet is covered by trees. These trees bring us oxygen, wildlife and stabilize our earth’s soil. The problems we are now facing are the effects of deforestation. Clear cutting through trees is very harmful to our environment and is one of the leading causes of global warming (National Geographic). It also tampers with the quality of Earth’s soil, leading to landslides and future problems in regrowth of new trees. On top of all this, our wildlife is decreasing from

Climate Change and Ecosystem. Climate changes affect ecosystems by altering the water cycle, natural habitats and leading to the changes in food sources, animal migration and the timing of natural processes such as flowering. Disruption of the ecosystems increase the risk of extinction for many species. Animals and plants need to adapt to the environmental change on a fast and bigger scale which put great danger to those species. Changes that disrupt the functioning of ecosystems may increase the

forests Forest degradation is a widespread global concern and an important contemporary issue for several United Nations (UN) organizations and conventions. Forest degradation is broadly defined as a reduction in the capacity of a forest to produce ecosystem services such as carbon is storage and wood products as a result of anthropogenic and environmental changes. ( Mosisa Ararso, 2015). Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO, 2011), states that the degradation of forest resources is an important society

change puts more stress on the survival of the poor developing countries. There is nowhere does climate change impact more than on the Africa’s fragile ecosystems. The scope and severity of the impacts of the change in the global climate have made the international community to galvanize into action in an attempt to reverse the trend. Ecosystem is constantly associated with a particular combination of climatic characteristics. (Walter 1968). The patterns of rainfall are changing and temperatures
