Acid rain

 Ahram Solis

EPA says, “Acid rain is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air.” These chemicals mix into our atmosphere, which causes the damaging rain called “acid rain”. Two ways that sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides get into clouds are from power plants releasing these chemicals into the air or into near by lakes. The rain can make the environment for wildlife toxic to live in and can also cause them to die. It can always be bad for our body if anyone’s outside during an acid rain and ruin crops. We can decrease the chances of acid rain showing up by stopping the usage green house gases.

    Ahram, Right off the bat your title, 'Acid Rain' , is what caught my attention. I used to watch this show on netflix called 'The Rain'. It's very similar to what you are talking about except the rain in this show was spreading an illness and not just chemicals. I find it so crazy how the things we all do on a daily basis are ultimately slowly killing our world and ourselves. Good read!

    I really enjoyed reading your post and learning about acid rain. I think its cool to read about because it isn't something I know a lot about. It's interacting that this all happened because of chemical reactions and what is stuck up in the air. It's also sad to here that it can make environments toxic and its bad for some to live in.

    It's the first time I heard about this, and it is very interesting. We should fight for it and hope that it is going to decrease. Great post!

Land Loss

 Hannah Bailey  There have been posts about sea levels rising however its not just affecting the sea. The water rising is also affecting the land. There is always the conspiracy that Florida will be fully submerged. It is stated on “the travel” page that Florida could be submerged as soon as 2050. This means that section of land will become apart of the sea life ecosystem. All of the oil preserves, the towns, even maybe cars would be submerged and begin to add more pollution to the ocean. This would require the citizens on Florida to have to reside elsewhere. Around 20 square mile of land has been consumed by sea levels rising. That is equivalent to 9,680 football fields of land gone. The image shown is a demonstration of what Florida will begin to look like if we dont take action fast. It is imperative that we save Florida for the citizens, land history, and for the oceans sake.  https://www.thetravel.com/florida-underwater-soon-stats/ https://coast.noaa.gov/digitalcoast...

Wildlife Conservation

  Wildlife conservation is the way of practicing the protection of the animal species and the  habitats they survive in. The Endangered Species Act,  is the establishment and protection of public lands animals live in, and the responsibility of public practices that conserve wild animal populations.  With The earth continuing to grow at a fast rate, it is also meaning that more and more humans are taking up natural resources. This is endangering the existence of animals and their habitats. Programs like the  World Wildlife Fund and  the Wildlife Conservation Society are working every day to slow down the extinction of animals and also protect the earth's biodiversity at the same time.  https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/wildlife-conservation/

Land Reclamation

 Hannah Bailey Land Reclamation  Land is becoming more scarce as humans produce more technology and as the world wide population continues to increase. Land reclamation is "the process of creating new land from the sea." One way of doing this is by placing certain amount of big rocks and cement into a certain location in the water. To fill in between the rocks they place soil and sand until the new manmade land is at its desired height. This benefits the human race by creating land however, how does this impact our waters? How about the sea creatures? Is this damaging the environment? This does impact all of those things. In areas that use have high amount of crab and fish are seeing less and less. The underwater habitats are being destroyed. There was a reclamation project in China that was restricted for the harm against marine life. The picture shown is the progress the China project had before it was prohibited.  https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetar...
