Lesson 9 Assignment The assignment for lesson 9 is LESN 9 ESSAY 5N. Below are your essay questions: 1. Discuss three effects that urbanization (including flood control efforts) has on flooding. Describe the various types of flooding and how these urbanization features may alter the flooding events and resulting erosion and deposition. Three effects that urbanization including flood control efforts has on flooding are water being forced into smaller channels that creates floods, the ground is also less porous and less permeable than rural land, which forces the water to run off instead of filtering into the ground, and natural buffers are destroyed that all lead to flooding.
So the city was under the water and destroyed. As a result of that the government tried to evacuate the city. The purpose of this report, therefore, is to emphasize the problems and find the best effective solution. This report is limited to a discussion the failure of the levee in Greater New Orleans, the effects on individual in the city and its solution. It is relevant to average readers who want to know about what happened.
Introduction: The reasons for this study it to show the effect of acid rain on plants more specifically sunflower, radish, and clovers. The hypothesis is that the plant would ether die or be severely damaged due to constant exposure of the acid rain. With that in mind there is already historical evidence showing how exposure to Acid rain has caused damage in forests. One example is the Great Smoky Mountains national parks were acid rain has damaged and or kill an entire section of the forest. The reason to do this experiment is to show awareness towards this growing environments problem that is killing many important environments and ecosystems.
Furthermore, the reservoir also covered many unexcavated archaeological sites, destroying irreplaceable ancient heritage. 2. How does the Three Gorges Dam relate to the issues of global warming, biodiversity, and water pollution discussed in this chapter? The Three Gorges Dam reduced the emission of C)2 by thermoelectricity factory; it has also prevented the pollution that was entering into the river. The main cause of reducing biodiversity was preventing the stream and also prevented the movement of the migration of fish was blocked, and plants and animals adapted to the river habitat would die out.
Satire Essay Stephen Marić Satire is a powerful tool, which can expose the faults in the world. Do you agree? One could say that satire is a powerful tool, which can expose the faults in the world. This is demonstrated through George Orwell’s Animal Farm where the author is satirising the Russian revolution through the use of animals and Larry Charles’ Borat were The Kazakhstani people and their lifestyle are being criticised. These texts show that satire can be used to portray places and events; satire can be used to portray people, and satire can be used to portray ideas Satire can be used to portray places and events.
Also, the shape of the valley concentrated the rainwater from the surrounding area into a relatively narrow space, creating a narrow river channel. A massive amount of water was therefore allowed to flow in all at once. This greatly increased the run-off speed and also the discharge of the river. The level of run-off was particularly high as there was a high rainfall in early August in Boscastle. The ground
Furthermore, urban development can seriously affect water supply negatively through the mismanagement of hydroelectric dams, irrigation and other diversions. For example, seriously mismanaged dams can result in droughts downstream, with smaller streams completely drying up and leaving smaller areas without a constant
This is called Acid Rain. Acid rain effects the environment in several ways, the effects to the plants and animals depend on the level of acidity of the water. Implications such as decrease in marine life, reduce in growth of forests (led to death of forest over time), damages buildings, bridges, and cultural objects (statues and monuments). Acid rain also effects human health and makes it difficult to see as clearly through clean air. The decrease in fish is caused by the high acidic water levels.
ϒ The immediate and long-term consequences of global deforestation are almost certain to jeopardize life on Earth as we know it. ϒ Some of these consequences include: ϒ loss of biodiversity; ϒ the destruction of forest-based-societies ϒ climatic disruption. EROSION ϒ The underlying soils are very poor . ϒ essential nutrients are washed out of the soil all-together. ϒ about 80% of the soils in the humid tropics are acidic and infertile ϒ rainfall washes remaining nutrients into rivers.
Acid rain affects lakes and streams in two ways; through long-term acidification and short-term acidification. Long term acidification results from years of acidic rainfall, reducing alkalinity of water, and the level of nutrients such as calcium, which may weaken the fish and other organisms in an aquatic environment. Short-term acidification is characterized by a sudden jump in the acidity of water, resulting from a heavy rainstorm. This can lead to high concentrations of substances such as aluminum, which can be toxic to fish. Acid rain also affects forests by influencing vegetation and soil.
