In this paper I will attempt to examine the root causes of the Aral Sea disaster that implicate in ecological, societal, economic, and cultural environments throughout the time and space. This paper will challenge the traditional view of the Aral Sea disaster as of “natural”, but rather “crescive” and “constructed”. I will analyze the Aral sea disaster through the following lenses, first is political - harsh Soviet politics and transition to the market economy that had subsequently resulted in…

The country has many abundant natural landforms such as thousands of sea coasts, imposing mountains, caves, gorges, lakes and rivers. (Antoniou, 2013) Greece’s mainland is divided into six geographical regions. Sterea Ellada (Central Greece) is a central region of Greece, and one of the most mountainous. Thessaly…

million people currently live within 1 [metre] of mean sea level”, meaning that close to 100 million people could and will be displaced from their homes within the next few hundred years, due to sea level rise (2010). There are several factors that contribute to the rise of global sea-level, both directly (warming oceans, expansion of ocean particles and melting glaciers) and indirectly (global warming and the loss of ice shelves). While ice shelves don’t directly contribute to the rising of…

Sea level continues to rise in recent years, but also that the rate gradually accelerated, according to some data of observations. Sea level is rising primarily because as global temperatures increase, oceans are warming, which causes sea water to expand; and land ice is melting, which transfers water to the ocean. The rise of sea level will increase the risk of the coastal inundation. “Climate change will not introduce any new types of coastal hazard” (Manatu Mo Te Taiao, 2004), but the climate…

The world will melt its way into an apocalyptic world, oceans will flood places, people will die of the heat, starvation will take place. How will the human race prevent this from happening? In order to stop global warming scientists must find ideas, and look at what is causing this? Global Warming occurs when a vast quantity of C02 along with other pollutants gets into the atmosphere and absorbs light as well as solar radiation, which has bounced off the surface of the Earth for centuries in…

They live along the coast of the Northern Pacific Ocean including California, Alaska, Washington, Japan, Russia, and Canada but most live in Alaskan waters.

becoming extinct, at any moment. That species is the Hawksbill sea turtle. Most people should be concerned, because they’re going extinct because we’re throwing plastic into the ocean. Also, we’re killing them for their skin and their shells. Lastly, their reproduction doesn’t occur rapidly, so every 2 to 3 years, will new Hawksbill be born/hatched. The Hawksbill sea turtle’s real name, is Eretmochelys Imbricata. The Hawksbill sea turtle has a flat body shape, a sharp, curved beak, and a sharp…
