Maps and graphs show that fires occur most frequently in hot, dry areas and the largest fires in recent years burned over 500 acres. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of learning fire prevention techniques to reduce human-caused blazes.
Forests and their effects on environment team 4_
Forest fires are caused by natural events like lightning and volcanic eruptions or human activities such as arson and equipment sparks. Large uncontrolled forest fires negatively impact the environment by increasing greenhouse gases and global warming, causing deforestation and wildlife depletion. When fires threaten communities, homes are destroyed and residents must evacuate.
Forests, fire and climate change dynamics
This CIFOR session of the 2014 IUFRO World Congress focusd on the latest scientific understanding of climate change and future global fire regimes, feedback on the global carbon balance, expected human and environmental impacts, and potential management strategies to mitigate negative impacts.
Media Violence Does Not Cause Violent Behaviors
The document discusses media and entertainment's influence on societal violence rates. It presents evidence from various studies on the relationship between media violence and real-world violence. However, the evidence presented is mostly lower levels of evidence including expert opinions and descriptive studies rather than high-quality experimental research. The document concludes that parents are ultimately responsible for protecting young children and monitoring what media influences they are exposed to.
The True Facts About Forest Fires
This document discusses forest fires on public lands in the Southwest and their causes, costs, and prevention.

Forest fires
Fire can cook food, light up the dark, and keep people warm by keeping out the cold. However, people often do not use fire carefully, which can lead to forest fires. The poem describes how a small fire started by a discarded match or an unattended campfire can quickly spread and destroy trees that took years to grow. The message is that most forest fires are caused by human carelessness rather than natural causes like heat from the sun. People often fail to properly extinguish fires or do not try to stop small fires from spreading.
Natural hazards wildfires
Wildfires can cause significant ecological and economic damage. They begin as confined or contained fires but can spread and burn out of control, threatening lives and property. The causes of wildfires include lightning, human negligence, and spontaneous combustion. Factors like fuel availability, weather, and topography determine a wildfire's size, duration, and intensity. Firefighters work to reduce heat, oxygen, or fuel available to wildfires using techniques like controlled burns, firebreaks, and water/chemical drops from aircraft.
Fire & the forest
This document discusses wildfires and forest fire management. It defines key terms related to wildfires and describes different types of fires, including ground fires, surface fires, and crown fires. Factors that influence fire behavior like weather, slope, and wind are examined. The document outlines the three requirements for a fire - fuel, oxygen, and an ignition source. It also discusses fire prevention, suppression, and control methods like using firebreaks, prescribed burns, and mop-up activities after a fire. Finally, the beneficial uses of controlled fires are mentioned, such as reducing hazardous fuels and improving wildlife habitat and forest health.
Forest fire threat to ecological security - 47 slides.ppt bhutan
This document discusses forest fires as a threat to ecological security in India. It provides statistics on the percentage of forest areas affected by fires in various Indian states. The strategic location of India makes it one of the mega biodiversity zones, so forest fires pose a major threat. Fires are caused by factors inside and outside forests like grazers, cattle, and human settlements. Remote sensing is used to detect fires in regions like the Himalayas and Western Ghats. Forest fires impact biodiversity, soil, water, vegetation and wildlife by destroying habitats. Preventing and managing forest fires requires a collaborative approach involving local communities, awareness campaigns, and landscape-level management that considers vegetation and fire history.
The Impact Of Media Violence On Youth Powerpoint
The document discusses research on the impact of media violence on youth behavior. Studies have found that exposure to violence in media, like television and video games, can contribute to increased aggressive behavior over time in youth. One study of 820 youth found that violent media use predicted later violence and aggression, especially combined with family or community violence exposure. Researchers recommend media literacy education to help youth critically evaluate media messages and the impacts of violence. Parental control and monitoring of youth media exposure can also help reduce risks.
Forest fire a natural disaster
The document discusses forest fires, their causes, types, effects, and fire management needs. It notes that the most common forest hazard is fire, which can be caused by both environmental/natural factors like lightning or dry conditions, as well as human factors like burning for grazing or agriculture. There are two main types of forest fires: surface fires that burn along the forest floor and crown fires that burn in the tree canopies. Forest fires cause damage through loss of resources, biodiversity, habitat, and increased carbon emissions. Effective fire management requires prevention, detection, rapid response, fuel modification, firefighting resources, and research/training.

FOREST FIRE
The document discusses forest fires, their causes and effects. It notes that forest fires are most commonly caused by environmental factors like lightning or dry conditions, as well as human factors such as shifting cultivation, grazing or intentional fires. Forest fires can have significant negative impacts such as loss of timber and biodiversity, reduced forest cover, soil erosion, and negative health and economic effects on surrounding communities. A case study describes the 1871 Peshtigo Fire in Wisconsin, which destroyed over 1 million acres and caused between 1,200-2,500 deaths, making it one of the worst forest fire disasters in American history.
Reflective Essay A reflective essay expresses an opinion o.docx
Reflective Essay
A reflective essay expresses an opinion on an issue and supports it with strong arguments and relevant
information. This essay is done to share material with your audience and to solidify your own views on the
topic that you have selected. Think about its construction this way, that if you are looking into a mirror.
The first thing you probably see is yourself looking back at you. Keep looking though and you’ll also see
what’s behind you. Writing a reflective essay is similar to looking into a mirror except that instead of
seeing objects reflected in the room behind you, you “see” reflections of a past experience. The most
important factor to remember in writing a reflective essay is that your opinions and conclusions should
directly relate to the experiences you examine in the essay body.
Following is the rubric which will be used to assess this course’s essays:
Essay 1 should identify the environmental issue, from your home region, outlining the problem and its root
causes and consequence from a systems perspective. In this essay the system connection with both the
social and economic impacts should be introduced, but will be more fully developed in essay 2.
Essay 2 should expand on the systemic connections of social and economic consequences on the
environmental issue. Elaborate on the local community and political perspectives. This essay should
identify a personal course of action that you might take to help mitigate the problem.

The Research Process for the Informative Speech.1. GENERAL PUR.docx
The Research Process for the Informative Speech.
1. GENERAL PURPOSE
o Determine what type of speech you are doing: informative or persuasive
Example: To inform the class
2. SPECIFIC PURPOSE
o Determine what your topic will be - several of the databases may give you some ideas.
Example: To inform the class about the film director Steven Spielberg.
3. THESIS STATEMENT with 3 main points
o Determine your 3 main points. The databases will often help you locate 3 main points.
o General Purpose + Specific Purpose + 3 main points = Thesis Statement
Example: I will talk about Steven Spielberg’s early years, his film career, and his philanthropic efforts.
4. After forming your thesis statement, GATHER INFORMATION.
TIP: By putting your information into NOODLETOOLS, you’ll have all of your information ready for
the final outline! (Use of NOODLETOOLS is optional. Make sure your citations are in MLA style)
o Start at the Library homepage: http://libguides.elcentrocollege.edu/
o click the pull-down menu for SEARCH BY COURSE OR TOPIC > click on SPEECH
OR
o click the pull-down menu for SEARCH BY COURSE OR TOPIC > click on specific topic, such
as BIOGRAPHY, MEDICINE
o Search the databases for relevant information. You’ll find the BEST BET databases on the Library Guide to Speech opening page. Remember, you must use a minimum of 3 database sources BUT allof your articles can come from one database.
o Look for information that will provide:
Attention-getter to open with impact
o Examples: a startling fact or statistic, expert quote, an anecdote, personal story
Connect to the audience.. motivating the audience to listen to what you have to say.
o Examples: a personalizing statistic or a story that helps the audience “see” how they
PERSONALLY could be affected
3 main points (body of the speech):
o Gather 2 or more credible, reliable supportive pieces of evidence for each main point
o Find 5-10 sentences to support each main point
o Examples : testimony, definitions, statistics, expert quotes, examples
Conclusion
o A memorable thought or impact statement
Visual support (for PowerPoint).
o Examples: images, charts, graphs
5. Give credit to your sources – create your WORKS CITED as you gather your information.
o NoodleTools - creates and alphabetizes your citations AND stores your notes!
6. Complete your OUTLINE.
o Make sure to put the source of statistics, quotes, etc., in parenthetical quotes.
Example: According to the Gale Encyclopedia of Medicine, diabetes is one of the leading causes ofdeath in the United States. (Holohan)
7. Create your POWERPOINT.
o Do not rewrite your speech in PowerPoint. Your viewers can read faster than you can talk!
o A speech PowerPoint should contain pictures - not slides containing lots of text! As a guide,limit the entire PowerPoint presentation to less than 12 words.
Keep the audience interested by including a picture that enhances what you are saying but doesn't replace what you are saying.
8. Present your Spe ...

Adopt-a-Plant Project guidelines
Overview:
The purpose of this project is for you to choose a plant, conduct online research into the biology of the plant, and communicate what you have learned. You will be preparing an annotated bibliography on the plant you choose. The entire project is worth 50 points
Annotated Bibliography (50 points)
You will prepare an annotated bibliography with a list of the top 10 most interesting facts about your plant.
· Each fact should be paraphrased (i.e. written in your own words, no quotations allowed).
· Then tell me why this is interesting to you – make connections to your life or to currents issues in our world.
· Finally, give a full citation and tell me why you think this is a reliable, trustworthy source. Use this libguide to help you come up with reasons why your source is trustworthy.
· At least one of your sources should be from a peer-reviewed, science journal article.
Here is an example:
Fact 1: Taxol is a chemotherapy agent derived from the bark of the Pacific Yew Tree. The chemical itself is derived from a fungal endophtye within the bark. I thought this was very interesting, because the Pacific Yew tree is native to the state of Washington, and my aunt Jane received Taxol while undergoing chemotherapy for ovarian cancer. I also thought it was interesting because of the mutualistic relationship between the plant and the fungus.Citation: Plant natural products from cultured multipotent cells
Roberts, Susan; Kolewe, Martin. Nature Biotechnology28.11 (Nov 2010): 1175-6.
This is a reliable source because it is published in a peer-reviewed science journal article, written by two PhDs that are providing a review of the current literature on the topic
To complete the assignment, you should first choose a plant, gather articles discussing your plant, read the articles sufficiently enough to discuss the plant, and finally write the annotated bibliography. You are expected to produce original work, and any plagiarism will receive a zero. The paper should be double-spaced, and typed in 12 point font size, with normal margins. The instructions for how to properly cite your sources are at the end of this handout.
*** Reminder: The scientific name of a plant should always be typed in italics, with the first letter of the Genus capitalized. For ex.: Digitalis lanata. When you search for information on your plant online, make sure to use the scientific name, which will bring back a wider variety of results
The bibliography is worth 50 points and will be graded on:
1. Effort
• Quality of references
•Depth/breadth/quality of material covered
2. Following directions/ requirements
I will use the following rubric to grade your bibliography:
Research, Critical Reading and Documentation
Balanced, authoritative sources; correctly cited sources; effectively integrated outside sources. Most sources from science journals
10 pts
Effective sources, correctly cited, Could have a few more.

Fires are caused by factors inside and outside forests like grazers, cattle, and human settlements. Remote sensing is used to detect fires in regions like the Himalayas and Western Ghats. Forest fires impact biodiversity, soil, water, vegetation and wildlife by destroying habitats. Preventing and managing forest fires requires a collaborative approach involving local communities, awareness campaigns, and landscape-level management that considers vegetation and fire history.
The Impact Of Media Violence On Youth Powerpoint
The document discusses research on the impact of media violence on youth behavior. Studies have found that exposure to violence in media, like television and video games, can contribute to increased aggressive behavior over time in youth. One study of 820 youth found that violent media use predicted later violence and aggression, especially combined with family or community violence exposure. Researchers recommend media literacy education to help youth critically evaluate media messages and the impacts of violence. Parental control and monitoring of youth media exposure can also help reduce risks.
Forest fire a natural disaster
The document discusses forest fires, their causes, types, effects, and fire management needs. It notes that the most common forest hazard is fire, which can be caused by both environmental/natural factors like lightning or dry conditions, as well as human factors like burning for grazing or agriculture. There are two main types of forest fires: surface fires that burn along the forest floor and crown fires that burn in the tree canopies. Forest fires cause damage through loss of resources, biodiversity, habitat, and increased carbon emissions. Effective fire management requires prevention, detection, rapid response, fuel modification, firefighting resources, and research/training.

FOREST FIRE
The document discusses forest fires, their causes and effects. It notes that forest fires are most commonly caused by environmental factors like lightning or dry conditions, as well as human factors such as shifting cultivation, grazing or intentional fires. Forest fires can have significant negative impacts such as loss of timber and biodiversity, reduced forest cover, soil erosion, and negative health and economic effects on surrounding communities. A case study describes the 1871 Peshtigo Fire in Wisconsin, which destroyed over 1 million acres and caused between 1,200-2,500 deaths, making it one of the worst forest fire disasters in American history.

Reflective Essay A reflective essay expresses an opinion o.docx
Reflective Essay
A reflective essay expresses an opinion on an issue and supports it with strong arguments and relevant
information. This essay is done to share material with your audience and to solidify your own views on the
topic that you have selected. Think about its construction this way, that if you are looking into a mirror.
The first thing you probably see is yourself looking back at you. Keep looking though and you’ll also see
what’s behind you. Writing a reflective essay is similar to looking into a mirror except that instead of
seeing objects reflected in the room behind you, you “see” reflections of a past experience. The most
important factor to remember in writing a reflective essay is that your opinions and conclusions should
directly relate to the experiences you examine in the essay body.
Following is the rubric which will be used to assess this course’s essays:
Essay 1 should identify the environmental issue, from your home region, outlining the problem and its root
causes and consequence from a systems perspective. In this essay the system connection with both the
social and economic impacts should be introduced, but will be more fully developed in essay 2.
Essay 2 should expand on the systemic connections of social and economic consequences on the
environmental issue. Elaborate on the local community and political perspectives. This essay should
identify a personal course of action that you might take to help mitigate the problem.

The Research Process for the Informative Speech.1. GENERAL PUR.docx
The Research Process for the Informative Speech.
1. GENERAL PURPOSE
o Determine what type of speech you are doing: informative or persuasive
Example: To inform the class
2. SPECIFIC PURPOSE
o Determine what your topic will be - several of the databases may give you some ideas.
Example: To inform the class about the film director Steven Spielberg.
3. THESIS STATEMENT with 3 main points
o Determine your 3 main points. The databases will often help you locate 3 main points.
o General Purpose + Specific Purpose + 3 main points = Thesis Statement
Example: I will talk about Steven Spielberg’s early years, his film career, and his philanthropic efforts.
4. After forming your thesis statement, GATHER INFORMATION.
TIP: By putting your information into NOODLETOOLS, you’ll have all of your information ready for
the final outline! (Use of NOODLETOOLS is optional. Make sure your citations are in MLA style)
o Start at the Library homepage: http://libguides.elcentrocollege.edu/
o click the pull-down menu for SEARCH BY COURSE OR TOPIC > click on SPEECH
OR
o click the pull-down menu for SEARCH BY COURSE OR TOPIC > click on specific topic, such
as BIOGRAPHY, MEDICINE
o Search the databases for relevant information. You’ll find the BEST BET databases on the Library Guide to Speech opening page. Remember, you must use a minimum of 3 database sources BUT allof your articles can come from one database.
o Look for information that will provide:
Attention-getter to open with impact
o Examples: a startling fact or statistic, expert quote, an anecdote, personal story
Connect to the audience.. motivating the audience to listen to what you have to say.
o Examples: a personalizing statistic or a story that helps the audience “see” how they
PERSONALLY could be affected
3 main points (body of the speech):
o Gather 2 or more credible, reliable supportive pieces of evidence for each main point
o Find 5-10 sentences to support each main point
o Examples : testimony, definitions, statistics, expert quotes, examples
Conclusion
o A memorable thought or impact statement
Visual support (for PowerPoint).
o Examples: images, charts, graphs
5. Give credit to your sources – create your WORKS CITED as you gather your information.
o NoodleTools - creates and alphabetizes your citations AND stores your notes!
6. Complete your OUTLINE.
o Make sure to put the source of statistics, quotes, etc., in parenthetical quotes.
Example: According to the Gale Encyclopedia of Medicine, diabetes is one of the leading causes ofdeath in the United States. (Holohan)
7. Create your POWERPOINT.
o Do not rewrite your speech in PowerPoint. Your viewers can read faster than you can talk!
o A speech PowerPoint should contain pictures - not slides containing lots of text! As a guide,limit the entire PowerPoint presentation to less than 12 words.
Keep the audience interested by including a picture that enhances what you are saying but doesn't replace what you are saying.
8. Present your Spe ...

Adopt-a-Plant Project guidelinesOverviewThe purpose of this.docx
Adopt-a-Plant Project guidelines
Overview:
The purpose of this project is for you to choose a plant, conduct online research into the biology of the plant, and communicate what you have learned. You will be preparing an annotated bibliography on the plant you choose. The entire project is worth 50 points
Annotated Bibliography (50 points)
You will prepare an annotated bibliography with a list of the top 10 most interesting facts about your plant.
· Each fact should be paraphrased (i.e. written in your own words, no quotations allowed).
· Then tell me why this is interesting to you – make connections to your life or to currents issues in our world.
· Finally, give a full citation and tell me why you think this is a reliable, trustworthy source. Use this libguide to help you come up with reasons why your source is trustworthy.
· At least one of your sources should be from a peer-reviewed, science journal article.
Here is an example:
Fact 1: Taxol is a chemotherapy agent derived from the bark of the Pacific Yew Tree. The chemical itself is derived from a fungal endophtye within the bark. I thought this was very interesting, because the Pacific Yew tree is native to the state of Washington, and my aunt Jane received Taxol while undergoing chemotherapy for ovarian cancer. I also thought it was interesting because of the mutualistic relationship between the plant and the fungus.Citation: Plant natural products from cultured multipotent cells
Roberts, Susan; Kolewe, Martin. Nature Biotechnology28.11 (Nov 2010): 1175-6.
This is a reliable source because it is published in a peer-reviewed science journal article, written by two PhDs that are providing a review of the current literature on the topic
To complete the assignment, you should first choose a plant, gather articles discussing your plant, read the articles sufficiently enough to discuss the plant, and finally write the annotated bibliography. You are expected to produce original work, and any plagiarism will receive a zero. The paper should be double-spaced, and typed in 12 point font size, with normal margins. The instructions for how to properly cite your sources are at the end of this handout.
*** Reminder: The scientific name of a plant should always be typed in italics, with the first letter of the Genus capitalized. For ex.: Digitalis lanata. When you search for information on your plant online, make sure to use the scientific name, which will bring back a wider variety of results
The bibliography is worth 50 points and will be graded on:
1. Effort
• Quality of references
•Depth/breadth/quality of material covered
2. Following directions/ requirements
I will use the following rubric to grade your bibliography:
Research, Critical Reading and Documentation
Balanced, authoritative sources; correctly cited sources; effectively integrated outside sources. Most sources from science journals
10 pts
Effective sources, correctly cited, Could have a few more.

Assignment 2: Discussion—Species Interactions and You
Humans interact with various species every day without actually realizing it. In the field of ecology, these interactions can either be interspecific (between species) or intraspecific (within species). Interactions between humans are known as intraspecific (within species) interactions. For example, interactions between a human and a pet would be interspecific, whereas interactions between a human and another human would be intraspecific.
Research interspecific and intraspecific interactions using the module readings, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet.
This assignment has
two
parts. Complete both parts.
Part A
Complete the following:
Track your interactions with other organisms—between and within species—for one day.
Summarize your interactions throughout the day, using the terms from this module’s readings. If required, review the module’s readings again.
At a minimum, identify ten interactions that you witnessed or participated in today. Among those interactions, you should be able to identify a predatory-prey relationship, a competitive relationship, and a mutualism. You could also identify parasitic relationships or commensalisms, if you choose. Although you can repeat interaction types—for instance, you can have multiple mutualisms—the examples must differ. These are some examples:
Did you have a predatory-prey relationship with a chicken today? That is, did you eat chicken for lunch?
Did you have a competitive relationship with a coworker today? That is, were you competing for a raise?
Click here
to download this template to track interactions with organisms.
Part B
Respond to the following:
For every interaction you identified above, describe an interaction in nature that is similar to what you experienced or witnessed. For example, if you had a predatory-prey interaction with your meal, identify and describe an example of a predatory-prey interaction in nature. Or, if you had a competitive interaction with your coworker, identify and describe a competitive interaction in nature.
Using the information you reviewed, explain why it is important to recognize these interactions.
Support your statements with appropriate examples and scholarly references.
Using the information that you compiled above, summarize your interactions for the day. Be sure to classify your interactions (parasitic, mutualism, etc.) and that you also determine if the interactions are considered intraspecific or interspecific.
Write your initial response in a minimum of 300–350 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.
By
Saturday, July 16, 2016

Einstein's early life demonstrated a fascination with science. In 1905, his "miracle year," he published five theoretical papers that changed how people viewed the universe. One paper introduced the idea that light is made up of particles called photons that behave like waves. Einstein also developed the theory of special relativity, which holds that time and space are relative to the observer's motion, not absolute. According to special relativity, all observers will measure the speed of light to be the same, regardless of their own motion or the motion of the light source. Einstein's work revolutionized physics and our understanding of the universe.
