Global Warming
Global warming refers to the increase in the Earth's average surface temperature due to a buildup of greenhouse gases from human activity like the burning of fossil fuels. This is causing broader changes around the world, such as sea level rise and more extreme weather, as well as impacts to ecosystems and human communities through changes in issues like agricultural yields, species extinctions, and trade routes. Natural factors like solar variation and volcanoes have also caused some warming, but human-caused greenhouse gas emissions are the dominant cause of warming observed since pre-industrial times.
Wildfires
Wildfires are uncontrolled fires that occur in rural or wilderness areas. They differ from other fires in their size, speed of spreading, and ability to change direction unexpectedly or jump gaps. While wildfires can cause extensive property damage and loss of human life, they also benefit wilderness areas. The factors that influence wildfire behavior include the type of fuel available. The worst wildfire season on record was 2000, when over 8 million acres burned. Trees can explode from steam produced when heated water turns to vapor rapidly. Ground fires burn below the surface in organic soil materials. Over 1.4 million acres burn annually in the U.S., and being prepared with fire prevention gels, food, water, and living on high ground can increase
A presentation about deforestation
This document discusses the importance of trees and the problems caused by deforestation. It defines deforestation as the conversion of forested areas to non-forested areas. The main causes of deforestation are listed as cutting down trees, forest fires, industrialization, commercial plantation, and urbanization. Deforestation leads to issues like climate change, natural disasters, soil erosion, and reduced biodiversity. Afforestation and social forestry are proposed as solutions. The document emphasizes that future generations will suffer if deforestation continues and calls for efforts to plant trees and stop deforestation.
Technology will destroy our planet-Shana Ankersmit
The document discusses how human-caused global warming is increasing wildfire risks by raising temperatures and altering weather patterns. It notes that the U.S. emits high levels of greenhouse gases, fueling more frequent and intense forest fires. While fires can benefit forests in some ways, climate change is causing fires to burn more severely and destructively. The increasing wildfire threat demonstrates the urgent need to curb carbon pollution and limit global warming to safer levels.

Modern Ecological State of Azerbaijan and Ways for Solving of Ecological Problems discusses the major environmental problems facing Azerbaijan including pollution, deforestation, desertification, habitat loss, and animal extinction. It notes that many of these issues are caused by human actions and outlines solutions such as reducing pollution and garbage, avoiding deforestation by planting trees, outlawing hunting of endangered species, and protecting natural areas by prohibiting hunting and logging. Additionally, it highlights 2010 as an important year for improving Azerbaijan's ecological situation through a presidential meeting on environmental problems and initiatives like mass tree planting campaigns.
Deforestation Powerpoint[1]
Since the existence of humans, precious trees have been destroyed to provide shelter, food, heat and supplies for economic growth and development. Consistent and an increasing demand for products for human comfort, endangers large forests and the environment. Continuous deforestation is disrupting the natural balance of ecosystems. Populations fail to realize that their daily habits and patterns of energy and paper consumption is damaging in the long-run. As deforestation becomes more and more widespread, little is being done to preserve nature
Deforestation bangladesh
Deforestation is a major problem in Bangladesh that has accelerated in recent decades due to population growth, poverty, and land conversion. Illegal logging and the conversion of forest lands to agricultural and commercial uses are the ultimate underlying causes of deforestation in Bangladesh, particularly of Sal forests. About 50% of the country's original forest cover has been cleared, including much of the Sal forests. Population growth and poverty have increased pressure on forest resources by limiting alternatives for sustenance and income. Weak land tenure policies have also contributed by failing to protect customary forest access rights and encouraging forest conversion.

Lungs of the planet earth
Forests are the lungs of the earth. It is the trees which absorb the carbon dioxide released by the burning of fuel by man and keeps the air fresh.
The leaves use this carbon dioxide to produce food during photosynthesis, which is needed by animals.
The leaves after photosynthesis release oxygen which is a by- product of photosynthesis into the atmosphere.
This oxygen in the atmosphere is needed by all living organism for respiration. Without oxygen no animal or plant can survive on this earth!
The roots of trees help in absorbing the water from the ground and bring it up to the leaves. The excess water is sent out through the stomata and so the water vapour is released into the atmosphere.
Deforestation
This document discusses deforestation, its causes and effects. The major causes of deforestation mentioned are agricultural activities, logging, urbanization, mining and forest fires. Deforestation leads to negative environmental impacts such as climate imbalance, increased global warming, soil erosion and floods. It also causes wildlife extinction as animals lose their habitats. The best solution provided to reduce deforestation is enacting laws to curb the felling of trees and banning clear cutting of forests.
Forest ecosystem
This document summarizes and compares the structure and function of forest and grassland ecosystems. It outlines the key abiotic and biotic components of each system. Forest ecosystems contain a diversity of tree species that serve as primary producers, along with various herbivores, omnivores, and decomposers like fungi and bacteria. Grassland ecosystems are found in regions with moderate rainfall and are dominated by grasses and forbs as producers, and grazing herbivores as primary consumers. Decomposers like fungi and bacteria break down dead organic matter in both forest and grassland systems.

Deforestation presentation
This document summarizes the main causes and reasons for deforestation globally and in Turkey specifically. The key drivers of deforestation discussed are population growth, agriculture expansion, logging, fuel needs, and grazing. Deforestation results in declines in habitats, biodiversity, and forest resources. While forest management practices could help mitigate deforestation, many developing countries lack strong forestry institutions and local cooperation is sometimes lacking. The document also provides a brief overview of Turkey's forestation policies and goals to increase forest coverage from its current level of around 27% of land.
Deforestation
Deforestation involves clearing forests and converting the land to non-forest uses like agriculture. The main causes of deforestation are clearing land for housing and agriculture as well as logging trees for wood. This results in problems like soil erosion, climate change, and economic impacts. Solutions include implementing anti-deforestation policies, reforestation efforts, increasing recycling, using renewable energy instead of wood, and individual efforts to reduce consumption that drives deforestation.
RAINFOREST
Global warming is causing rising temperatures and changes in weather patterns that threaten rainforests and the species that inhabit them. As the climate changes, rainforests are expected to experience higher temperatures, more extreme weather, and changing rainfall patterns. This can destroy habitats and cause many plants and animals to become extinct as they are unable to adapt to the new conditions. Conservation efforts are needed to help protect vulnerable species and preserve these important ecosystems.
Forest, Our Lifeline
The document discusses forests and their importance. It provides details about the different layers of a forest, including the canopy, understory, and forest floor. It explains that forests are vital because they produce oxygen, store carbon, purify water, and provide resources and habitat. Maintaining forests is important for both environmental and economic reasons.
Deforstation
Deforestation is a serious problem caused by human activities like development and wood collection. It results in the loss of 12 million hectares of forests annually, and could lead to the disappearance of all tropical moist forests by 2050. Deforestation has negative environmental and social impacts like reduced biodiversity, disrupted ecosystems and climates, and threatens human quality of life. While reforestation aims to help, it does not fully replace the original forests. The only way to avoid these consequences is to stop deforestation completely.
Doasascument
Planting trees provides many environmental benefits. Trees remove harmful chemicals from soil and help reduce greenhouse gases that cause global warming. They produce oxygen, cut air conditioning costs, and absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. Planting more trees can significantly increase oxygen production and reduce carbon in the atmosphere, helping to slow global warming. Trees are also important habitats for animals and help filter air and water pollution.
Amazon Rainforest Deforestation
Deforestation of the Amazon rainforest is caused by logging, agriculture, clearing land for livestock, and mining. It has short term effects like soil erosion and changes in precipitation, and long term effects including climate change, loss of plant and animal species, and damage to agriculture. Possible solutions include companies adopting zero-deforestation policies, consumers boycotting companies with bad environmental practices, and governments protecting forests and promoting renewable fuels and efficient farming.
Deforestation
Forests contain over 60% of the world's biodiversity and provide plants for food and medicine while helping control the planet's climate. About half of the original tropical forests have been destroyed, and without changes, only 20% will remain by 2030. Deforestation has many causes like slash-and-burn farming, development, and logging, and it reduces oxygen levels and food sources while threatening hundreds of thousands of species. We can help save forests by reducing wood and paper consumption and increasing recycling.

Deforstation
Forests have existed on Earth for 350 million years and provide habitat for many animal species. They also play an important role in regulating climate and air quality by producing oxygen and influencing temperature, moisture levels, and wind speed. However, forests are being destroyed at a rate of 105,000 square km per year, especially in tropical regions, due to logging, infrastructure development, agriculture, and pollution. This is reducing biodiversity and contributing to problems like global warming. To help address this, groups like Greenpeace advocate reducing timber extraction and creating protected forest areas, while individuals can choose recycled products and support tree planting initiatives.
Deforestation indonesia
This document discusses deforestation in Indonesia. It notes that Indonesia has only 1.3% of the world's land area but contains 10% of the world's plant species and mammal species. Deforestation is reducing Indonesia's forests and threatening endangered species. On average, 1.871 million hectares of Indonesian forests are lost every year, equal to over 50 soccer fields daily. The main causes of deforestation are uncontrolled logging, land conversion for palm oil and other plantations, and abuse of development policies. Deforestation negatively impacts the atmosphere, hydrology, soil and ecosystems. Wise forest management is needed to protect what remains of Indonesia's forests.
10. what are the consequences
This document discusses the effects of climate change, including coastal erosion seen when comparing photos of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina from 1999 to 2004. It also notes the disappearance of Argentina's Upsala Glacier, which is retreating at a rate of 200 meters per year. Finally, it lists 9 effects of climate change identified by the Natural Resources Defense Council, such as intense rainstorms, drought and wildfires, more powerful cyclones, deadly heat waves, and melting glaciers.
Deforestation
Deforestation is the large-scale removal of forests, especially in tropical regions like the Amazon. It causes ecological problems like habitat loss that can drive species to extinction, as well as social issues in developing countries where it is often used to sustain populations. While logging and agriculture are significant drivers, shifting cultivation and commercial logging are two of the most commonly cited specific causes. The effects of deforestation include loss of biodiversity, increased carbon emissions, desertification, and disrupted ecosystems. Sustainable practices are needed to balance human and environmental needs.
Ecosystems Review
This document contains a 15 question review about ecosystems for a 5th grade natural science class. It asks students to identify different ecosystem types, define key terms like ecosystem and habitat, describe characteristics of deserts and tundras, match plant and animal species to ecosystems, and identify components of ecosystems. The review covers various topics relating to ecosystems, communities, populations, and abiotic factors.
Global warming jet
Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane trapping heat in the atmosphere. This causes the earth's temperature to rise, affecting plants and animals who cannot adapt to the increased temperatures. Global warming also affects weather patterns and can lead to long droughts. Humans contribute to global warming through activities that release greenhouse gases like driving vehicles, using electricity, and burning fossil fuels. The ozone layer, which protects the earth from the sun, is being damaged by greenhouse gases. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions through activities like using less fossil fuels and driving less can help address global warming.

Lesson 8: Shape,Size and Structure of the earth
The Earth was formed at the same time as the other planets of the Solar System from a vast spinning disc of gas and dust.
Scientists have gathered valuable information about the Earth with the use of advance science and technology to help us understand our planet.
They have determined the size and shape of the Earth by using precise instruments and equipment.
The Earth is shaped like an Orange because it bulges at the Equator and is flat at the polar regions.
Therefore, the Earth is an Oblate Spheroid.
Geodesy – the science that studies and measures the exact size and dimensions of the Earth.
Submerged tunnel technical seminar
Connecting opposite shores of a lake, sea or river, has always been one of
the major tasks to be faced by Civil Engineering, it being a fundamental need
for the development of the areas surrounding a waterway. Nowadays, this
issue is still topical and of great importance, as it is proved by the numerous
large infrastructures which have been built or planned to be built in the last
years all over the world, such as, for instance the Channel Tunnel, linking the
shores of France with the ones of the United Kingdom, the Immersed Tunnel
under construction in the Bosporus Strait (Turkey) or the Suspension Bridge
designed to connect Calabria and Sicily in the Messina Strait (Italy).
Numerous other important and noticeable cases could be mentioned, however
the aforementioned ones probably represent the most advanced examples of
the structural solutions which are traditionally most widely used to link areas
divided by the presence of waterways: Cable Supported Bridges (i.e.
Suspension or Cable stayed Bridges), Underground Tunnels and Immersed
Tunnels.
An underwater tunnel is a passage, gallery, or roadway beneath a body of water. Underwater tunnels are used for highway traffic, railroads, and subways; to transport water, sewage, oil, and gas; to divert rivers around dam sites while the dam is being built; and for military and civil defence purposes.
Modern underwater tunnelling begins by constructing an immersed tube within a pre-dug trench on the river or sea floor. To do this, pre-fabricated sections of steel tube are floated into position and strategically sunk into the trench.
The complexity of the design issues related to these classic technological solutions, increases as the distance to be covered grows up, so that the
crossing of long span waterways can be, in many cases, very difficult and
sometimes impossible. Moreover, the traditional systems feature some
disadvantages which in some cases are of great importance, leading to the
necessity to find alternative technical solutions.
UNDERWATER CONSTRUCTION
This document discusses various methods for underwater construction. It describes wet construction using water tight retaining structures like caissons and cofferdams to create dry environments for building bridge piers, buildings, and dams. It also discusses the challenges of underwater construction when water depths increase and the objectives of maintaining structural stability. Furthermore, it outlines techniques for underwater concreting using tremie pipes, pumps, and toggle bags to place concrete below the water surface.
Submerged tunnel ppt
A submerged tunnel floats underwater, supported by buoyancy, with cables anchoring it to prevent floating up or sinking down. It has advantages over bridges such as being lighter and experiencing less stress during earthquakes. Submerged tunnels can be constructed by dredging a trench, casting tunnel elements, transporting them to the site, and lowering them into place before sealing the joints and backfilling over top. While requiring specialized marine construction, the technique is often less risky than other tunneling methods and allows for faster construction between shores.
Underwater construction
Underwater construction involves building structures where foundations or parts will lie underwater. It presents difficulties due to depth and water conditions. Common underwater construction activities include bridges, dams, utilities, and industrial projects. Construction techniques include both wet construction using divers and dry construction using caissons and cofferdams to create a dry work environment. Caissons are permanent watertight structures sunk into place while cofferdams are temporary structures that can be pumped out. Concrete is often placed underwater using a tremie pipe method to displace water and prevent washout of material.

Tree for life
Tree planting involves transplanting seedlings or saplings to a permanent location. It is best done during rainy seasons in the Philippines. Deforestation is the clearing of forests through various means such as agriculture, livestock, and logging, which has negative environmental impacts like loss of habitat, climate change, and soil erosion. Planting trees provides benefits such as oxygen, shelter, climate control, and wood products, so it is important to plant trees now to offset deforestation and environmental problems.
Deforestation And Its Effects On Deforestation
Deforestation is a major issue in Venezuela, Colombia, and Bolivia. In Venezuela, deforestation is occurring to clear land for coca production, and the government is not taking action to address it or educate people about its impacts. Deforestation contributes to water shortages in Venezuela. Parts of the tropical forest in these countries are being destroyed, removing important trees and habitat. Stronger protections and laws are needed to preserve the remaining forests.
Essay On Deforestation
Deforestation is a significant environmental problem that is damaging forests worldwide. Over four-fifths of the world's original forests have already been destroyed. Deforestation occurs for reasons like agriculture, logging, and urban development, but it has serious negative consequences for the environment and climate. By cutting down and burning forests, carbon dioxide emissions increase and contribute to global warming. Deforestation also destroys animal habitats, threatens biodiversity, and harms soil quality. While deforestation occurs in many parts of the world, countries like Brazil, Indonesia, and parts of Africa and Southeast Asia have seen substantial forest loss. Urgent action is needed to reduce deforestation and mitigate its harmful effects.
Ppt natural resources bhavani
Individuals can positively or negatively impact natural resources like forests and fossil fuels. Forests provide important functions like producing oxygen and housing wildlife, but are threatened if cutting exceeds regrowth. Fossil fuels take millions of years to form but are being consumed faster than replaced, and their combustion pollutes the air. Alternative resources like solar and wind energy do not pollute or deplete over time if harnessed sustainably. Overall resource preservation requires consideration of both environmental and human needs.

The document discusses the relationship between international trade and the environment. It notes that while trade rules were established before environmental concerns became prominent, there is now an increased potential for conflict as both environmental regulations and trade have expanded rapidly. Trade liberalization could have both positive and negative environmental effects depending on context. Countries are concerned about the environmental impacts of trade as well as how domestic environmental policies might restrict trade more than necessary. Stronger environmental standards in some countries could also impact their competitiveness. Overall, the trade and environmental regimes have developed separately and more coordination is now needed to address potential conflicts.

Deforestation has several negative effects:
1) It contributes to climate change and global warming by reducing forests that absorb carbon dioxide.
2) It increases greenhouse gas emissions as trees are cut down and no longer absorbing emissions.
3) It causes soil erosion as tree roots no longer hold soil in place, exposing it to runoff into waterways.

Human influences on the Environment
Human influences put great pressure on ecosystems through activities like deforestation, overgrazing, pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. Deforestation of tropical rainforests for agriculture leads to soil erosion and inability of the forest to regrow. Overgrazing and agriculture can remove plant cover exposing soil to erosion. Pollution from sewage, fertilizers, and fossil fuel combustion can cause eutrophication and lack of oxygen in bodies of water, harming ecosystems. The accumulation of carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere is thought to contribute to global warming and its environmental impacts. Conservation efforts aim to sustainably manage raw materials, habitats, species, water and energy resources.
Natresources
Natural resources provide raw materials that humans and wildlife rely on for survival. They include materials like water, food, fossil fuels, and trees. However, extracting and overusing natural resources can harm the environment by polluting land, water, and air or disrupting ecosystems. Emerging trends focus on conserving resources through reducing consumption, recycling, and developing innovative technologies that use recovered materials.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Forest Fires
- 1. Forest fires Dangerous, relentless, and deadly
- 2. Science Forest fires play an important role in an ecosystem. Even though they seem destructive the ash from the trees burning down are a great fertilizer, because the leftover ash from some of the the trees goes into the ground and fertilizes the soil. There are still a lot of the tree’s nutrients in the remains. But forest fires are still dangerous, so they need to be dealt with carefully. Scientists are still developing ways to battle forest fires. Even now, they have ways of dealing with forest fires, like special water carrying helicopters and planes to drop water on the fires and extinguish them.
- 3. Environment Forest fires are just one of the many threats to animals and their habitats. Many of the animals’ homes and habitats are engulfed by the flames witch may cause thinning of a species population. Forest fires may destroy, but they do have beneficial outcomes, too. When there is a forest fire, any dead leaves, logs, or needles that have accumulated on the forest floor burn away allowing room so that other plants may grow and benefit the forest.
- 4. Society Not only are houses in the mountains at risk of catching fire, but economically it has a huge impact. It takes a lot of funding andtime to make tools to fight fires and do the research on how to control forest fires, so it creates financial stresson the government’s funding situation. Not only is the government affected but the fire fighters are on the front lines so it is a huge safety risk. While they are fighting these fires trees can collapse and crush their equipment.
- 5. Technology Scientists are still coming up with ways to battle fires in ourforests andthey have made some great technological advances, like foam that shoots out from inside a tanker of gasoline and stops the fire from getting any bigger. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAQu3pMxcfE They also have specially-adapted planes and choppers to carry water over the flames and put them out. The planes they usecan carry between1,800 to 3,600 gallons of water depending on the size of the plane. That is more then 75 bathtubs full of water.
