HI ALEX YOURE MY FAVORITE IN THIS WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD!! (and I like him so much oh my gosh) Chapter 15 Notes Trini Soza Air pollution The introduction of chemicals, particulate matter, or microorganisms into the atmosphere at concentrations high enough to harm plants, animals, and materials such as buildings, or to alter ecosystems - Air pollution is the most widespread environmental damage. - 147 million metric tons of air pollution released each year by the US. - The world releases about 2 billion metric tons a year. - Air quality has improved over the past 20 years in developed countries. - Developing countries however have higher air pollution sometimes ten times higher than the pollution levels considered safe for human health.

Von Thenen based his general model of the spatial arrangement of different crops on his experience as a owner of a large estate.

Ban Hydraulic Fracking (Aff.) Only2% of the U.S. natural gas supply in 2000; it was 37% in 2012. This U.S. energy boom comes largely thanks to the technology of "fracking," or hydraulic fracturing, coupled with horizontal drilling methods that allow for much faster, more efficient extraction of oil and natural gas. But the question is, is fracking justified? I stand here today to state that it is not. Therefore, I asked that the house vote in affirmation to this bill. Many fracking additives are toxic, carcinogenic or mutagenic and many are kept secret. In the United States, such secrecy has been abetted by the 2005 ?Halliburton loophole,' which exempts fracking from many of the nation?s major federal environmental-protection laws, including the Safe Drinking Water Act...

Zoe Collins Mrs. G AP Bio Population Ecology Lab Introduction: For any population, a wide range of conditions can influence population size. Some of these conditions include environmental changes such as weather, habitat quality, and food availability. Other conditions involve interactions with competing populations of other species, and predator-prey relationships.

Chapter 25- Origin of life on earth The earth is estimated to have formed about 4.6 years ago condensing from a cloud of dust and rock. For the first few hundred millions years the Earth was being bombarded by huge chunks of rock and ice. The collisions created enough eat to vaporise the adavible water and prevent seas from forming. The early earth had a reducing atmosphere (electron adding) and there was no oxygen in the atmosphere, and as a result there was no need for an ozone layer to protect the earth from high levels of UV radiation.

Ecology is the scientific study of the interactions between organisms and the environment. 2. Study Figure 52.2 in your text. It shows the different levels of the biological hierarchy studied by ecologists. Notice also the different types of questions that might be studied by an ecologist at each level of study. Use this figure to define or explain the following terms: organismal ecology: Organismal ecology, which includes the subdisciplines of physiological, evolutionary, and behavioral ecology, is concerned with how an organism?s

Plant Diversity I: How Plants Colonized Land Chapter 29 Overview: The Greening of Earth For more than the first 3 billion years of Earth?s history, the terrestrial surface was lifeless Cyanobacteria likely existed on land 1.2 billion years ago Around 500 million years ago, small plants, fungi, and animals emerged on land ? 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Since colonizing land, plants have diversified into roughly 290,000 living species Land plants are defined as having terrestrial ancestors, even though some are now aquatic Land plants do not include photosynthetic protists (algae) Plants supply oxygen and are the ultimate source of most food eaten by land animals ? 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

CHAPTER 13 - FORESTS, PARKS, AND LANDSCAPES Case Study Wildfires Raise Questions about How to Manage Parks and Preserves in the Twenty-First Century -Wildfires are an infrequent force of nature, and can cause damage to land and property up to millions of acres. As the number of cities and urbanized areas has increase, the amount of property damaged by wildfires has also significantly increased. Wild fires happen on average every three years within the United States, particularly, in California -Perspectives on wildfires significantly differ, to put out or not to put out? Smokey the bear tradition tells us that only humans can prevent these fires, however, wildfires typically tend to result from natural occurrences.
