The primary attraction of the park is the show cave, Carlsbad Cavern. Carlsbad Cavern includes a large cave chamber, the Big Room, a natural limestone chamber which is almost 4,000 feet (1,220 m) long, 625 feet (191 m) wide, and 255 feet (78 m) high at the highest point. It is the third largest chamber in North America and the seventh largest in the world. The largest in the world is the Sarawak Chamber in Malaysia. Yellowstone National Park: Yellowstone National Park has the largest number of geothermal features on earth.
This is expected to rise to a third (33%) of Chinas electricity. It has 34 turbines and all their power together equals 18.2million kilowatts, this is as much as you would get with 18 coal power plants that’s twenty times as much power than the Hoover dam. The Three Gorges is the biggest Hydro electricity plant in the world which is showing they are powerful enough to improve their country for not only the short term but as well the long term. The second I benefit I have chosen is that it has put China right on the map. This has really
Hydroelectric plants may be able to reshape water flows to more closely match daily and seasonal system energy demands. Hydroelectric plants have many advantages but even though they do sound perfect they still have some disadvantages. One of the main advantages of hydroelectric plants is since no fuel is burned there is minimal pollution. Today pollution is a main argument that is harming our environment. Pollution is causing the atmosphere to decay and is helping generate global warming.
The dam is some 1.4 miles (2.3 kilometers) long and 607 feet (185 meters) tall—five times larger than the U.S.'s Hoover Dam. Construction workers used some 21 million cubic yards (16 million cubic meters) of concrete in the structure—a world record. Upstream of the dam, the reservoir's water level is presently 456 feet (139 meters) above sea level, and it's expected to rise quickly. The 410-mile-long (660-km-long) reservoir will eventually be flooded to 574 feet (175 meters) above sea level. A Hundred Lives, Billions of Dollars Chinese state media reports that over a hundred workers died during the lengthy construction project.
Stonehenge is the most famous prehistoric monument in Britain. It is a circle of stones. People began building Stonehenge about 5,000 years ago, dragging each stone into place. Stonehenge is situated on Salisbury Plain in the county of Wiltshire. England covers over 50,000 square miles (130 439 square kilometres) and is the largest of the countries comprising the island of Britain, covering about two-thirds of the island.
The Colorado River’s source starts in the Rocky Mountains and runs 1,500 miles South, through America and in to Mexico. It is the economic, cultural and social backbone of South West America. In the 1920’s, Western states began dividing and separating the river’s water to build dams and supply for rapidly growing places like San Diego, Phoenix and LA. The river is now responsible for serving approximately 30 million people spread over 7 states in the USA and 2 states in Mexico. It also provides water for 3.5 million acres of cropland.
The process to create the paper does not involve releasing harmful toxins like tree paper processing does. The largest benefit of using hemp as paper is the fact that hemp can harvest in just four months after being planted. Trees can take tens to hundreds of years to be ready for harvest. The fact that deforestation due to tree paper processing destroys the habitats for thousands of animals also must be taken into consideration and adds to the list of reasons why hemp needs to be grown in the U.S. In addition to the use of hemp as paper, an equally valuable and environmentally friendly use of hemp is as a source of
AUS PUBLIC SPEAKING FATIMA ABUBAKER Bottled water is significant and concerning environmental issue that not many seem to address, alternatives, such as reusable bottles is one of the many ways that can be used to improve our ecosystem. As humans, we naturally rather include convenience in our daily lives because value our time and don’t tend to prioritise minor issues. But if we were to take the time and look at the statistics provided to us we will be able to understand that incorporating reusable water bottles is both more effective and pragmatic, and cost efficient. Today’s manufacturers began to use biodegradable bottles in order to be an environmental friendly but they forget about the chemically sensible human body. Reusable water bottles are less harmful to the environment and the body due to the intelligent production that takes into consideration the aspects stated above.
I have leaned that if your population is to high your people will feel crowded and there will be a food shortage but more people equals more taxes. So I had to figure out a way to balance the rising population but also Battle over population. The answer was (this is the shocker…) industrialization of farmlands. ( Again does this sound familiar?). Its no surprise that China is one of the most Industrialistic country with over 1, 330, 044, 544 people ( as of July 2008 Source: www.google.com ) which in my scientific analysis says nearly 700, 000, 000 are in the work force and within nearly 100, 000, 000 or less (much, much less) are in agriculture or livestock.
The Three Gorges Dam Project- China Background Hydro-electric power is the conversion of the kinetic energy of falling water into electricity. Of the world's electricity, 15% is produced in this fashion (Baird, Stuart. http://www.iclei.org/efacts/hydroele.htm, 07/09/00). In 1996 the demand for electricity in developing Asia was rising at 8% a year and the region has enormous potential for hydro-electric power (The Economist (US), Oct 12, 1996 v341 n7987 p66 (1).). In order to produce hydropower, dams must be built.
