These are not the only reasons the Niagara escarpment is important to Southern Ontario but it is also very important to the Southern Ontario’s economy too. The Niagara Escarpment is an area rich in both renewable and non-renewable resources such as mines and energy. These resources are there because of natural processes that have taken place over millions of years to become of great importance to Ontario’s society and economy. Development of these resources can have serious problems to the environment, cities and farmers, if reserved and used sustainably so it is important to protect the natural escarpment. In conclusion, Niagara Escarpment is very important to Southern Ontario because of all the resources, recreational activities and the biodiversity it has to
Evolution has caused certain species to be completely reliant on one other species (Barton 6). The danger to plants and animals today is most often a direct result of human activities and human population increase (Plant). Biodiversity is a huge factor when considering the health of an ecosystem, a community of living organisms, and the physical environment they are dependent upon (Sayre 15). Land, water, air, and even noise pollution can make a habitat unlivable for birds and other wildlife (Sayre 2). Birds are a very important part of the national food web (Sayre 16).
Natasha Nieves P.6 Manifest Destiny “It was America’s right to stretch from sea to shining sea, not only was there a responsibility to hold to our citizens to gain valuable natural resources, but also to civilize this beautiful land” – Unknown.

All in all, the Belo Monte dam project has its pros and cons but in the end all that matters is that the government and citizens of Brazil come to an understanding of what is best for their culture, economy, and environment. Brazil is tropical country known for its culture and mining that borders every South American country except for Chile and Ecuador. Its tropical climate provides a great home for indigenous species and vegetation. Along with all the wild life, the land provides a great amount of natural resources with the main ones being iron and steel. With these resources Brazil is able to export material to other parts of the world while making a good income for the governmental industries.
Through the years, residents and visitors alike have found the Chesapeake imposing yet hospitable. The Chesapeake is one of this country's most valuable natural treasures.

Families had a limited amount of resources so the only sources of their power would be their land, animals and water. In villages, transportation would be very simple. People simply traveled by foot since there was a limited type of transportation. The only type of transportation was walking by foot or horse-drawn wagons. This impaired them from traveling more than two point five miles away from their homeland.
Wildfires: Friend or Foe? Jules Luna Red Rocks Community College Abstract To evaluate the impact of wildfires on our ecosystem, one needs to weigh the long-term benefits against short-term loses. Fires have an immediate negative impact on the ecosystem. They destroy trees, pollute water supplies and destroy property. However, not all effects are negative.
To summarize what this article talked about it was a study done on the effects of soil degradation and the effects on the vegetation in areas around watering points and normal grazing lands. The study showed that in these ecosystems the overgrazing reduced the ecosystem diversity of plants in poor soils. It also talked about how overgrazing around certain areas can not only destroy the soil but it can also cause the destruction of certain types of species. Overgrazing differs in all areas of the world but it still has a common problem which is that when there is overgrazing no matter what type of environment you are in that environment will be
The Controversy of Environmental Pollution The environment is everything neighboring us; it is all of our world and all that we see and cannot see. There are two mechanisms we think of in the environment: abiotic components, which deal with light, temperature, and atmospheric gases and biotic components, which deal with living organisms. These mechanisms have a lot of effect on one another. They work nonstop to continue the balance in our environment. A large problem is that humans do a lot of damage to our environment by taking down natural resources including trees and water.
Global warming also has natural causes though they are often down-played in the media. Global warming can significantly impact the Earth’s overall climate with major consequences. Fossil fuels have been increased in use by
