Our ancestors did not think of the outcome that the land would endure when everyone was a farmer and building railroads. It wasn't only humans though, there were also natural wildfires and periods of droughts.  Because of the ignorance in what the future would hold, the United States has decreased in the amount of small ponds, water ways, and even large lakes that we have. There are luckily many land management sources resolving this issue and restoring the natural way ways. 2. Diagnostic Probe motives or causes. ( Why...

4.1 – US Environmental History and Major Regulations

What exactly is science? Science is the examination of structure and functioning of physical and biological things. One of the goals of science is to discover the simplest form of an explanation for enormous and very diverse complexities of life. To achieve their goals scientists perform experiments, collect data, and analyze their research to conclude their findings.Science is not all facts though, a fact is an something that is definitely certain to be known, to have happened, and is 100 percent true. A hypothesis is a proposed explanation from the occurrence of an experiment that was conducted. However, it is always possible for a hypothesis to be refutable. And then there are theories which is a broader statement that refers to a set of explanations, laws, or rules. Theories are usually supported by large bodies of observational evidence. What exactly is science? Science is the examination of structure and functioning of physical and biological things. One of the goals of science i...

3.3.3 My Plastic Use

Image
  When we imagine the ocean filled with pollution, most of our minds picture large plastic bottles, or floaties that have floated away, or maybe even bags. But what about all of the pollution that we cannot see with the naked eye? Abby Barrows, a marine research scientist from MI, collected water samples locally, about a half a liter , and took those samples to a lab. When she placed the water samples under a microscope she was in disbelief of all of the colored plastic particles she could see in the water. From the water sample she took from a nearby lake, she began to wonder what could be happening in the ocean, or even our drinking water? She began to wonder, where are these specs not? So Abby Barrows partnered with adventure scientists to conduct a research to see just how contaminated water is. Adventure science is a nonprofit organization that gathers scientists and researchers together across the world to study natural resources. Upon their examinations, almost every single ...
