These pollutants have reduced water quality, contaminated soils, and damaged the Lake’s ecosystems. Pollution in wildlife has caused fish consumption to decrease, the spread of disease and viruses to increase, loss of fish and other wildlife stock. The closing of beaches and other recreational activities have been another direct result of the
This, in turn, can affect habitat quality for plants and animals that live downstream. Biodiversity may be lost if aquatic plants and animals cannot tolerate changing water conditions. When large volumes of water are pumped from a stream or river, water chemistry can change significantly with a drop in water level. Temperatures may rise and oxygen levels may drop, affecting aquatic species that don't have a wide tolerance. Biodiversity may also be reduced if invasive species, such as the zebra mussel or golden algae, are introduced into a waterbody during the drilling process.
It was literally a dumping ground and it even caught on fire a few times due to the toxic wastes. The phosphorus levels in Lake Erie are increasing due to the pollution causing harm to the fishes that reside in it. In 2014, Lake Erie had so much algae from pollution that it caused the City of Toledo to be left without fresh water. This algae was caused by the excessive amount of phosphorus in the lake. This excessive amount of Phosphorus is caused when the fertilizer is dumped into the lake by farmers.
The droughts and increased heat has had negative impacts on local aquatic invertebrates. Aquatic invertebrates are adapted to survive in a particular range of temperature and habitat. But global warming makes it harder to survive. This could lead to the extinction of several species of aquatic invertebrates which in turn would lead to serious consequences of the ecosystem. Many of the aquatic invertebrates are responsible for keeping the ecosystem clean by feeding on litters.
As the reliable water sources shrank and they were forced to drink the contaminated water. This may have also spread diseases throughout the Colony. The results being more deaths, because of the water sources being contaminated by filth from the colonists. [Doc.B] Shows that there was a large time of drought from 1606-1612.This likely affected the growth of crops. The result was deaths most likely caused by lack of food.
With the vessels having foreign aquatic life attached to the bottom of the ship and also leaking fluids into the lake while passing through. Also for these sources of pollution cause beach closing and a decrease in aquatic
This affected the colonist because they got fish to eat from the river. They also need to river water for drinking. If they tried to drink the murky water they would probably get sick. If the water rose too high it could create possible floods. The second reason so many people died was because relations with American Indians.
They can get held up behind the dams which keeps them from reaching the ocean as soon as they should. The adult fish also have trouble despite the installed fish
Africa and Florida’s environment both have issues and damages. The damages of the environment affect the animals that live in the area. Florida is known for its pollution in certain areas and this is what hurts the animals, from ranches and farms polluting the watered area where animals live they die off because of what is thrown in the water. In 1990, Florida Legislature banned drilling. This drilling happened on the coast-line with this happening most drilling comes with oil and with oil in the way of an animal they’ll get covered in it and soon die.
| Soil Erosion | Tree major practices | Rosa Flores 2/18/2013 | Three major practices that expose soil to erosion and how they can be corrected. Soil erosion is the loss of soil caused by particles being carried away by wind or water. Erosion moves the smaller particles first and hence degrade the soil to a coarser, sandier, stonier texture. The major causes of soil erosion are over-cultivation, overgrazing, and deforestation. They are creating problems to create a more sustainable society but it can be corrected.
