Q1A: Lake management is a process. A lake manager displays a
willingness to study a lake, to assess its status and its needs,
and to determine how best to maximize the
lake’s potential as a thriving ecosystem. Lake management can
be as simple as fostering the practices of stewardship among
lake homeowners and other interested individuals. It can also
include taking an active role in altering specific ecological
relationships within the lake and its watershed to make a lake
healthy and keep it healthy. Lake management can also include
protecting the health of a lake ecosystem through a plan of
preventive action. Lake management, to be effective, requires
the coordinated efforts of a group of individuals in the form of a
lake association, sporting or conservation club, or another
organization or group of stewards.
Q2A: Many freshwater lakes, streams, and ponds are polluted.
The causes of pollution depend on many different factors. These
factors vary in different parts of the world. Farming chemicals
can cause algae to bloom. These microscopic organisms can
take over a freshwater habitat like this pond. For example, in
parts of the US, fertilizers and pesticides are two major sources
of pollution. In many farms, chemicals are sprayed on crops to
help them grow and to prevent bugs. When it rains, the extra
fertilizers and pesticides flow into streams.
Q3A: Water pollution affects the health of the waterway, the
health of the organisms living in and around the waterway, and,
eventually, the health of humans. The effects of water pollution
can range from aquatic deformities to contaminated fish to
"dead" lakes. Here are some examples:
1) Aquatic diseases and deformities.
2) Human health issues.

Q5A:
The lowest trophic level is the first trophic level. The reason is
that set of organisms that can manufacture their energy and
biomass using only sunlight, drawing inorganic nutrients from
the soil or water. The highest trophic level is the last trophic
level. The reason is that the size of the portion of the diagram
associated with each trophic level is intended to depict the
amount of energy, biomass, or number of individuals found in
each trophic level. There are three numbers represents energy.

Q8A:
I realized how the term of “ecosystem” is very important to
every individual existence. Ecosystem is very reliable in
keeping individuals alive by ensuring the food supply. We all
know that every species is reliable on others. For instance, if
you take a look to “food chain” you can notice that birds are
relied on plants to be alive, and wild animals are relied on other
animals, and so on. In another word, we have two types of
consumers one is primary consumer, and the other one is
secondary consumers.

Q1A:
In the diagram figure 1.1 shows that from 1860 to 1940, the
temperature is increasing and decreasing below and on the 0 C.
From 1940 to 1980 the temperature was increasing and
decreasing on the 0 C. From 1980 to 2000 the temperature is
increasing above the 0 C and went up to 0.6 C. From 2000 to
2100 the temperature starts increasing from 0.6 C to 1 C, and
from there the temperature is increasing until 2100 the
temperature is 5 C.
Q2A:
First of all, in order to describe in the figure I found the
definition that might guide me to describe it well. So, “Carbon
dioxide (CO2). A minor but very important component of the
atmosphere, carbon dioxide is released through natural
processes such as respiration and volcano eruptions and through
human activities such as deforestation, land use changes, and
burning fossil fuels. Humans have increased atmospheric
CO2 concentration by a third since the Industrial Revolution
began. This is the most important long-lived "forcing" of
climate change”. The figure showed us the changed that
happened since 1870 till 2000. Taking these different influences
into account, it is possible to determine how much the
temperature decreased when carbon dioxide was reduced, and
use this figure to determine how much temperature might
increase as carbon dioxide increases. After I read some articles,
I found that when the carbon dioxide concentration goes up,
temperature goes up. When the carbon dioxide concentration
goes down, temperature goes down.
Q3A:
It can be clearly seen from the figure provided is that the
concentration was very low in the year of 1950 but it was
constantly increasing to reach the peak in the year of 1970.
After 1970, the number is significantly dropped exactly in 1990.
According to the notes, I realized there was a clean air act
update in the year of 1990.
Q4A:
This figure shows concentration of methane in the atmosphere
from 1000 years to 2000, in 1000 the methane around 650 to
750 and it goes in the middle for example in 1500 it increased
up to 750 and it continue between the 650 and the 750 in the
1800 it increases up to 1750
Q5A:
Figure 1.5 presents the changes in Nitrous Oxide. It shows that
from year 1750 to 1950 the Nitrous Oxide was stable and has no
change between 250 and 300. However, in year 1950 the number
had a little increase to year 2000 to be almost 310.
Q6A:
In the past 1000 years it was in the middle it goes up and down
but when it reached 1900 it increases about 0.8 in the graph.
However, in the 1250 it increased up to 0.1. In 1900 it starts to
increase up to 0.6 in 2000.
Q7A:
Each of these greenhouse gases affects climate differently.
Some gases can trap the sun’s energy better than others. The
degree to which a gas traps solar energy is called its radiative
forcing value. Radiative forcing values are indicated on the
right axis of the graphs. The higher the radiative forcing value,
the stronger its effect on global warming.
Q8A:
By 2100, the range of temperature increase is expected to be
between 1.4 and 5.6.
Q9A:
North hemisphere appears to have experienced the most
significant temperature changes. Because the northern
hemisphere is warming faster than the southern hemisphere,
with some of the most rapid warming rates on earth located in
the Arctic. Northern hemisphere is winning now and projections
show that, largely due to the influence of manmade greenhouse
gas emissions. Also, the northern hemisphere has led the
southern hemisphere in its rate of warming since about 1980,
largely because the northern hemisphere has more land and less
ocean than the southern hemisphere, and oceans warm relatively
slowly.
Q10A:
AS it’s mentioned in the link “Climate changes affect ecological
systems, and changes in ecological systems influence the
processes of disease transmission. Changes in temperature and
precipitation, as well as extreme climate events such as floods
or droughts, are capable of changing ecological systems. For
example, research links increases in diarrheal disease to
flooding, and cholera outbreaks to warmer sea surface
temperatures. Different weather conditions are known to affect
vector-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue”. The key fact
that I got from this articles the climate change affects the social
and environmental determinants of health – clean air, safe
drinking water such what happened in flint Michigan as you
mentioned in last lecture.

findings, October ozone levels were about 35 percent lower than
the average for the 1960s. When the first measurements were
taken the drop in ozone levels in the stratosphere was so
dramatic that at first the scientists thought their instruments
were faulty. The ozone hole reached its maximum size Sept. 22,
2012 covering 8.2 million square miles (21.2 million square

In this image all biotic; fish, plants, sun, animals. Q2A: Habitats; have many features or factors that important to the organisms living there. The two major; physical factor and biotic factor. Niche; the adaptive roles of the organism in the system how to make it live in the environment. According to university of Arkansas, flamingos lives on coastal or heavily salted seas. They eat the brine shrimp and brine-flies that live in the place like salt lake in Utah. Q3A: Consumer: wedge tailed eagle, snake, grasshopper, mouse, rabbit, and kookaburra. Decomposer: Non Producers: grass. Q4A: The picture could be classified as organism: several of fishes and other animals living in their environment “water”. Also, showing a bird having its own environment of food and

    producer, which areeggs. The other part of the picture is not obvious to be described. Q5A: The lowest trophic level is the first trophic level. The reason is that set of organisms that can manufacture their energy and biomass using only sunlight, drawing inorganic nutrients from the soil or water. The highest trophic level is the last trophic level. The reason is that the size of the portion of the diagram associated with each trophic level is intended to depict the amount of energy, biomass, or number of individuals found in each trophic level. There are three numbers represents energy. 10,000 represents the last trophic level, 100 represents the middle trophic level, and 1 represents the first trophic level. Q6A: 1st Trophic Level: Producer and it Makes its own food example of the 1st trophic level Plants make food. Ieas Almoily BO315 February 5, 2016 Lab #2 Q1A: In the diagram figure 1.1 shows that from 1860 to 1940, the temperature is increasing and decreasing below and on the 0 C. From 1940 to 1980 the temperature was increasing and decreasing on the 0 C. From 1980 to 2000 the temperature is

    increasing above the0 C and went up to 0.6 C. From 2000 to 2100 the temperature starts increasing from 0.6 C to 1 C, and from there the temperature is increasing until 2100 the temperature is 5 C. Q2A: First of all, in order to describe in the figure I found the definition that might guide me to describe it well. So, “Carbon dioxide (CO2). A minor but very important component of the atmosphere, carbon dioxide is released through natural processes such as respiration and volcano eruptions and through human activities such as deforestation, land use changes, and burning fossil fuels. Humans have increased atmospheric CO2 concentration by a third since the Industrial Revolution began. This is the most important long-lived "forcing" of climate change”. The figure showed us the changed that happened since 1870 till 2000. Taking these different influences into account, it is possible to determine how much the temperature decreased when carbon dioxide was reduced, and use this figure to determine how much temperature might increase as carbon dioxide increases. After I read some articles, I found that when the carbon dioxide concentration goes up, temperature goes up. When the carbon dioxide concentration goes down, temperature goes down. Q3A: It can be clearly seen from the figure provided is that the concentration was very low in the year of 1950 but it was constantly increasing to reach the peak in the year of 1970. After 1970, the number is significantly dropped exactly in 1990. According to the notes, I realized there was a clean air act update in the year of 1990. Q4A:

    This figure showsconcentration of methane in the atmosphere from 1000 years to 2000, in 1000 the methane around 650 to 750 and it goes in the middle for example in 1500 it increased up to 750 and it continue between the 650 and the 750 in the 1800 it increases up to 1750 Q5A: Figure 1.5 presents the changes in Nitrous Oxide. It shows that from year 1750 to 1950 the Nitrous Oxide was stable and has no change between 250 and 300. However, in year 1950 the number had a little increase to year 2000 to be almost 310. Q6A: In the past 1000 years it was in the middle it goes up and down but when it reached 1900 it increases about 0.8 in the graph. However, in the 1250 it increased up to 0.1. In 1900 it starts to increase up to 0.6 in 2000. Q7A: Each of these greenhouse gases affects climate differently. Some gases can trap the sun’s energy better than others. The degree to which a gas traps solar energy is called its radiative forcing value. Radiative forcing values are indicated on the right axis of the graphs. The higher the radiative forcing value, the stronger its effect on global warming. Q8A: By 2100, the range of temperature increase is expected to be between 1.4 and 5.6.

    Q9A: North hemisphere appearsto have experienced the most significant temperature changes. Because the northern hemisphere is warming faster than the southern hemisphere, with some of the most rapid warming rates on earth located in the Arctic. Northern hemisphere is winning now and projections show that, largely due to the influence of manmade greenhouse gas emissions. Also, the northern hemisphere has led the southern hemisphere in its rate of warming since about 1980, largely because the northern hemisphere has more land and less ocean than the southern hemisphere, and oceans warm relatively slowly. Q10A: AS it’s mentioned in the link “Climate changes affect ecological systems, and changes in ecological systems influence the processes of disease transmission. Changes in temperature and precipitation, as well as extreme climate events such as floods or droughts, are capable of changing ecological systems. For example, research links increases in diarrheal disease to flooding, and cholera outbreaks to warmer sea surface temperatures. Different weather conditions are known to affect vector-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue”. The key fact that I got from this articles the climate change affects the social and environmental determinants of health – clean air, safe drinking water such what happened in flint Michigan as you mentioned in last lecture.

    Ieas Almoily January 25,2016 GO315 Lab#1 1. Describe the temperature and pressure patterns in the figure E-1? In the layer troposphere the temperature decreased, because it starts from 2c and decreased to -4c. In the layer stratosphere the temperature increased from -41c to -39c and from -39c increased to 2c. In the layer mesosphere decreased from 2c to - 50c. In the layer thermosphere increased from -50c to 122c. The pressure in the layer troposphere started decreasing from 40 to 0. In the layer stratosphere still decreasing from 0 to -40, and for the mesosphere and thermosphere stays at the -40c. 2. How thick would 200 DU of ozone be? The thick would be 2. 3. How is ozone formed naturally? It is formed naturally by chemical reactions. 4. How is ozone destroyed and destructed naturally? Stratospheric ozone is destroyed by the chlorine contained in certain chemicals (other substance also “eat” ozone, but chlorine is the most important). Many of these chemicals, called chlorofluorocarbons. 5. What was the Montreal Protocol (1987)? The Montreal protocol on substance that deplete the ozone layer was designed to reduce the production and consumptions of ozone. 6. Explain the Arctic Ozone? Area that may affected by formation of arctic ozone is the yellow area within the red circle. 7. Explain the history of the ozone hole from 1980 to 2012? Give your idea about what happening? In the 1980's the first measurements of this loss were actually documented. In 1984, when the British first reported their findings, October ozone levels were about 35 percent lower than the average for the 1960s. When the first measurements were
