It is due to frequent oil spills that sea otters, many sea birds, whales and many other species of the marine environment have become endangered. The oil spill damages fisheries and Mari culture, and causes serious economic losses to the local public and the governments.
More than half of the population of the world comprises farmers. These farmers know that maintaining and conserving natural resources are very important to sustain their lives. However, the demand of more and more food due to the exploding population and higher expectations for comfort and wealth enforces these farmers to exploit more and more of the natural resources through the application of modern technology. The agriculture based on the latest farm machinery, hybrid and high-yielding crop varieties and agrochemicals is called as modern agriculture. Under the changing trends of modern agriculture, the difficult situation of maintaining and conserving natural resources is being faced the world over in the agriculture sector.
The resources that provide food to living organisms are called as food resources.
Coarse grains are broadly discussed these days. Now the world has come to know about their importance. Coarse grains have been contained in the Indian dishes since long. Now that the harmful effects of soft grains are known, the world has come to advocate the coarse grains.
Mixing of different solid, liquid or gaseous substances and microorganisms into water, so as to alter its natural qualities is called as water pollution. According to the National Water Commission (1973), water gets polluted if it has not been of sufficiently high quality to be suitable for the highest uses people wish to make of it at present or in future.
The predominant features that create structural complexity in the environment, such as plants or animals are called as a habitat.
A process, in which natural habitat is rendered functionally unable to support the plants and animals occupying it, is named as Habitat destruction. In the process of habitat destruction, plants and animals that previously used the place are displaced or destroyed, reducing biodiversity.
Soil is the loose material that covers the land surface of the earth, supports the growth of plants and acts as a habitat for numerous organisms.
Living beings interact among themselves in the same species, with the members of the other species, and with the components of the abiotic environment in an ecosystem. Interaction between the members of the same species is called as Intraspecific whereas the interaction among individuals of different species is called as Interspecific.
In the modern age of industrialization and competition for development, the human race has badly missed its traditions up to major extents and cultures- up to some extent.
Discoveries and inventions have made human lives easy and comfortable. Men have stopped walking long distances. But his does not relate to flying of birds. They continue flying and flying for ages very high and up to amazingly long distances.
There are many different types of technologies or technological models- such as Low-tech, Hi-tech, alternative, intermediate, appropriate, blended, hard, and soft technologies.
Plants and trees shed their leaves from time to time. This happens due to a number of reasons. From some plants and tree leaves continue falling throughout the year. At the same time new leaves continue developing to compensate their number.
