nature, habitat - soil erosion

credits to google.

Adding on to wanjia's post, deforestation affects the growth of other plants as soil erosion would occur. The roots of the trees secure the soil, but without roots the soil would divide themselves unevenly and affect the growth of other plants. Many living things would die as they live on land and their habitat is being destroyed. Also, without the other plants to beautify our surrounding, the world would look very dull. But of course, the cause of soil erosion is not only deforestation, acid rain is also one of the causes. What causes rain to be acidic ? For instance, acidic sulphur is being produced by factories, the sulphur is being washed into rivers, drains, etc and is evaporated. This vicious cycle repeats and thus acidic rain is created. Firstly, people should do re-forestation, secondly, they should encourage factories to dispose their waste in a correct and proper manner. With that, i end my post (:

nature, habitat - deforestation

 <<< in Madagascar

The Earth is in danger now... Many natrural resources such as, tress had been cut down for papers , desks and many other things... We must be gratetful to trees as they provide us oxygen,food and shelter. If we do not have trees, we will not be able to survive. But human not only did not thank them, but cut them down for human uses. We must really save the Earth as if we did not, human will be extinct one day! Not only the human but the animals will too be extinct as they do not have food to eat and home to stay as their habitat is being destroyed. So we must SAVE THE EARTH!!! n_n

nature, habitat - floodings

Lately, because of global warming, the environment on Earth has changed drastically. Some after effects of global warmings are spread of diseases, warmer waters thus more hurricanes, increased probability and intensity of drought and heat waves, economics consequences,and polar ice caps melting. Focusing on warmer waters leading to hurricanes, it may result in floods in low-lying areas and places near the beach.

 Recent floodings in Australia have been disastrous! Two weeks before the flooding, Cyclone Tasha dumped alot of water on Queensland.Hundreds of thousands of people in an area the size of France and Germany combined have been affected. This is an example of the deadly impact on global warming.

Global Warming at Maldives

Some islands, such as the Maldives, Tovalu and some coastal cities will not be able to survive rising seas no matter what protections are put in place, said Saleemul Huq, a senior fellow at IIED who runs an adaptation center in Bangladesh

Rising sea levels at Maldives

As Maldives is among the countries most vulnerable to rising sea levels caused by the global warming, President Mohamed Nasheed has declared the tourists' paradise endowed with a chain of 1192 coral and white sand islands as a front line State in the battle against climate change.

Even though our efforts might not save the Maldives, let us continue to give our efforts and try to save the rest of our planet Earth.
