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.
One of the biggest disadvantages is not being able to make connections as easy as the copper. Fiber optic cables have a core as fine as a human hair, making it extremely difficult to splice. Copper cables are obviously not going to be around forever with the fiber optics being so futuristic, but they still have advantages over the fiber. Copper is very easy to work with. When making connections it is so much easier to splice the copper cable than it would be for the fiber.
These different sources of energy provide an alternate cleaner source of energy. These energy sources are harmless to the earth, helping to negate the effects of certain forms of pollution. My first choice of energy wind power is the conversion of wind energy by wind turbines into a useful form, such as electricity or mechanical energy. Secondly is hydroelectric power electricity generated by hydropower. Hydroelectricity is the production of power through use of the gravitational force of falling water or flowing water.
The mechanical power is converted into electricity to power homes and businesses. Wind plants produce electricity that emits zero pollutants. The environmental concern from the wind power plants is minimal; the problems that arise are the noise created from the rotator blades and the killing of birds by flying into the blades. With some technological advances, that issue was drastically reduced. Another major challenge is that the wind does not blow all the time, therefore, the turbines do not spin and no power is created during these
Red is the endangered areas In image 2, the most endangered reefs are in areas that are considered “Third World”, where populations have limited access to education. The people here are concerned mostly with putting food on the table now, later can wait for another day. There is a problem with reef systems today that directly comes from people who probably did not know that they were causing it. Runoff from sewers, especially untreated sewage kills corals by: * Suffocating corals and zooxantheallae by covering them with sludge and cutting off
(Neuman,2005)The environmental aspects of urban consolidation is quite different with in developing the form of urban sprawl. In high density areas, there is only a few natural vegetations,which include trees and grasslands and etc, are found within the buildings, roads, and parking areas. So it makes harder for the inner suburb to have a cleaner environment without planting large amount of vegetations.To sum up, it has both problems and benefits by developing the urban consolidation but the advantages of consolidation is more convincing , making th consolidation form as a more sustainable and livable plan
One of the greatest advantages of nuclear power is that it avoids the wide variety of environmental problems arising from burning fossil fuels such as coal, gas and oil. Currently 78% of Australia’s electricity comes from burning coal. Nuclear energy does not produce smoke or carbon dioxide, so it does not contribute to the greenhouse effect. Thus ‘global
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
Wind turbines are clean, effective and nonpolluting; however, one cannot predict the speed or direction exactly. The heavier populated areas require more energy. Not enough wind and the turbine will not turn. Wind turbines are noisy, threatens wild life, and is an eye sore along with costly for the initial funding. Solar energy is a non-pollutant, cost effective, maintenance free, life span of up to 40 years; however the upfront cost is enormous, and not everyone can afford the cost to put the stylish panels on their roof tops.
Marine erosion is a process which has a massive effect on the coastline. With marine erosion it mainly shapes the cliffs that meet the ocean. This process occurs more dominantly with more resistant rock types. It will reshape and transform the coastline from what it used to look like. There is the main point of erosion which is corrasion, attrition, solution and hydraulic action.
