Both in present times til this very day ,the mining of coal has been a dangerous but much needed job to have in the United States. Without coal , a lot of things wouldn't be possible because coal is the main reason something works. Thus in order to get the coal , miners have to dig for it and extract it from the ground. The workers have to use big machines to dig through the layers of topsoil and overburden to the layer of topsoil. When they've gotten down to the coal,and are done working on…

One thing that surprised me about the car was that the car tires were filled with nitrogen gas instead of compressed air. Nitrogen is a colorless and odorless non-toxic gas used to reduce the temperature of the tire and increase its lifespan. In races, it may be able to keep tire pressure more constant and slow pressure loss without reacting to the tire and rim materials. Another thing that surprised me about the car was its design and build. What really caught my eye was that the inside of the…

that faces the Bay is the harvesting of the oyster reefs. 1 Oysters are natural filters and one oyster can filter an average of 50 gallons of water a day. In this delicate ecosystem oysters offers habitat and food to other sea creatures. The oyster industry has played an important role in the economy of the region as well (Chesapeake Bay Program, 2016). The problem with oyster farming is that the reefs have become over harvested and are becoming depleted. Without the oysters to help filter the…

The fracking process involves the use of harmful chemicals mixed in with the water used. It is difficult to contain all of the chemicals and contaminated water from spreading to healthy water. This damages the environment and hurts the people around that area. “Streams polluted by the wastewater of fracking contained levels of contaminants that often exceeded federal guidelines for safe drinking water or aquatic health. Soil at the spill sites was contaminated with radium, a naturally occurring…

What harm can store-bought water bottles filled with water and fracking cause? Statistics state that there is more harm done than a person might think. One out of every six water bottles gets recycled; if a bottle is filled up by a fourth of oil, that same amount of oil was used in its production. Fracking actually pollutes water so bad that it is next to impossible to purify. In 'The Curse of Water Bottles' and 'Fracking Threatens Everyone', the authors reveal the harm done by those two…

See judge act method can help us understand ways to explain these controversial environmental issues negatively affecting the world around us. Fracking and mountaintop removal has become a potentially fatal topic in multiple states. Hydraulic fracturing or Fracking is the process of drilling down into the earth before a high-pressure water mixture is directed at the rock to release the gas inside. Water, sand and 596 chemicals are injected into the rock at high pressure which allows the gas…

Furthermore, there were other two main factors that enabled Britain to be the first industrial revolution, which were geography and natural resources. Historically, coal became the key energy resource supplied for Britain instead of wood at that time due to the vast rise in demand of the energy use for both household and industrial heating, and machinery. Although, Britain had the abundance of coal, the amount of coal produced could not distinguish Britain from others because other European…

intent of this paper is to highlight the effects seceding the oil spill, including key stakeholders negatively affected such as: property owners along the Southern coast of the United States of America; the seafood and fishing industry; the tourism industry; the hotel industry; the workers on the rig; and the wildlife and environment; the impact of the spill upon BP and how this incident could have been prevented, and the ethical obligation all companies have to protect the environment.…

not realize how much they truly depend on oil. Without the use of oil, our vehicles would not run, our homes would not have heat, along with many other everyday uses. A majority of the oil that is drilled for in the United States is used for large industries, businesses, and residences. The society is quick…

long term jobs are then created through facility jobs to maintain the infrastructure. Providing the UK with a source of clean renewable energy that will help the nation become energy independent from countries such as Russia. In fact, the Green industry is currently valued at three trillion four hundred billion pounds with an annual increase of 4% showing that green energy would have the same short term stimulus and also provide long term economic growth. Providing the UK with a source of clean…
