An earthquake is a sudden tremor of the earth’s surface or below and occurs naturally due to various factors (Cari 4). Earthquakes start either underneath or on the exterior of the earth’s crust depending on the basis that led to the tremble or tremor. The magnitude of an earthquake measures the amount of energy released by an earthquake when tectonic...

The presence of biota in the environment such as microbes, plankton, plants, and animals are indicative of the qualitative conditions of the environment, commonly referring to as biological indicators. Invertebrates account for the 95% of species in the animal kingdom (Smith, Ph.D., 1991) and have become widely used to evaluate and monitor major pollutant stress both inland and aquatic environments,...

The nature of biology is necessary to seek life in the early Earth and beyond the Solar System. The first step is to discover the nature of biosignature in those areas (to find remains or signs of previous or existing life). The earliest living things on Earth are assumed to be fossil microorganisms observed in warm water atmospheres where the...

Deforestation has always happened, humans have cut trees down to build houses, or grow crops, however the relatively recent industrialisation of our society has led to mass deforestation all over the world, including important ecological sites and habitats. Companies clear large areas for many reasons including crops like rice, and for keeping cattle. However is deforestation a bad thing? Many...

Science provides many practical solutions to minimize the present levels at which pollutants are introduced into the environment and for remediating (cleaning up) past problems. All of these solutions come with some cost (both societal and monetary). In our everyday lives, a great deal can be done to minimize pollution if we take care to recycle materials whose production creates...

Humans have contributed to a higher rate of species extinction today for several reasons. Those reasons include housing limitations, overfishing, worsening climate change, pollution, and increasing the number of invasive species worldwide (Gramling, 2019). Humans have transformed 75 percent of land on Earth into urban areas, leaving the rest for all species. Over time wetlands were lost and so did...

Robert Orben once said, “There's so much pollution in the air now that if it weren't for our lungs there'd be no place to put it all.” Air pollution comes from many places. The smokestack in a factory, car exhaust, gas from paint, and producing plastic are only a few of the many ways air pollution can be caused. There...

In only a handful of years, we have lost over half the world’s forests, half the world’s grasslands and half the world’s wetlands. We are consistently eliminating all that makes up our world’s ecosystems. Eventually, they will collapse. It’s hard to accurately predict the rate extinction we face, but say there are 100 000 000 different species on earth. At...
