We are surrounded by beautiful nature, from crystal clear waters of the streams to the lush green grasses to the pristine landscapes, its no joke that we need to protect our environment at all costs. We need mother nature to survive but mother nature doesn’t need us to survive. Its sad that so much environmental destruction is going on in the world around us yet there isn’t much we can do about it. Citizens should continue putting pressure on their government to properly protect the environment

I have an Australian friend who says that the Kangaroos are partly to blame for the recent enormous and super-destructive bushfires that destroyed millions of hectares and killed billions of wildlife. I asked, ‘’how is that possible, how do Kangaroos cause bushfires? Shouldn’t we blame humans for causing climate change that led to this …

When I look at Pandas they appear to be very gentle and docile creatures, they don’t look like anything that can hurt a fly. These beautiful animals which are native to China belong to the bear family, back then when they almost went extinct, worldwide efforts helped restore their numbers and those that are …
Every single day large fishing ships scoop millions of fish out of the ocean floor. They do it so efficiently to such a point that there is not a single hatchling left behind. The only thing that the trawling ships leave behind on the reefs are the coral rocks, everything else that breathes is …
Haven’t our Oceans already been depleted of fish due to large scale trawling? Read More »
Life evolved in the sea, and for more than a billion years was confined to the oceans of the earth. On land, there was only bare rock. This bleak terrestrial picture changed over half a billion years ago, when the first fungi are thought to have invaded the land. The difficulty of the challenge …
Studies of Ape DNA have explained a great deal about how the living apes evolved. The Asian apes evolved first. the line of apes leading to gibbons diverged from other apes about fifteen million years ago, whereas orangutans split off about ten million years ago. Neither are closely related to humans. The African apes evolved …

We should not overlook the possibility that life processes might have evolved in different ways on other planets. A functional genetic system, capable of accumulating and replicating changes and thus of adaptation and evolution, could theoretically evolve from molecules other than carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen in a different environment. Silicon, like carbon, needs …
Where is the Planet heading To? Everyday we hear an ever increasing number of stories relating to ecological devastation, environmental destruction at a vast unimaginable scale, mass pollution and extinction of species have become daily songs in the mainstream media, not to mention the ever increasing effects of climate change and Global warming. could …

Plains, plateaus, hills, mountains, canyons, and valleys are but a few of our planet’s amazing variety of landforms, the shapes Earth’s surface takes. As you read about these landforms, think about the ones you see in the area where you live. Types of Landforms Geographers recognize many different types of landforms, including …

The earth is a dynamic body that has undergone various changes. These changes are both of internal and external origin. The internal processes are referred to as diastrophism and they tend to elevate the earth’s surface. They are counterbalanced by the external processes that wear down the land surface. The constant interaction between these two …
The history of life on earth has been marked by periodic episodes of extinction, where the loss of species outpaces the formation of new species. Particularly sharp declines in species diversity are called mass extinctions. Five mass extinctions have occurred, the first of them near the end of the Ordovician period about 438 million years …
There has always been mass extinctions since the beginning of planet Earth Read More »
