Deforestation

Deforestation is an action for clearing up a wide area full of trees.  Animals are dying because humans keep cutting down trees. Humans are going to make different kinds of animals extinct if they continue to destroy homes in the woods. Most deforestation is happening in the tropics. The animal that is likely going to be extinct is a Golden Lion Tamarin monkey.

The factors that have caused this issue is that people need trees to be made into paper and used for firewood. Also farmers want the space where trees were so they can used that ground space for more farming and to grow/harvest more crops. Deforestation issues can either be direct or indirect. The direct issues are natural issues (hurricanes, fires and floods.) Human activities such as farming are cattle breeding, timber extraction, mining, oil damage, construction and building developments.

Trees assume a key job in the nearby water cycle by keeping a harmony between the water ashore and water in the air. In any case, when deforestation or corruption happens, that equalization can be misled, bringing about changes in precipitation and stream. 

You can contribute to the efforts against deforestation by doing these easy steps: Plant a Tree where you can. Go paperless at home and in the office. Buy recycled products and then recycle them again. You could also plant more trees, recycle and buy recycled things, or maybe go paperless.

When I was doing research on deforestation I had know idea that there were animals that were going to be extincted. I also did not know that the reason that people are demolishing the trees are for the farmers to plant crops and raise farm animals.

THE PLANET MURCURY

For science I am learning about the planet Mercury. Just to give you a comparison, Venus orbits the Sun at an average distance of 108.2 million km. And Earth orbits the Sun at an average distance of 149.6 million km. So you can see that Mercury is much closer, taking only 88 days to complete an orbit around the Sun. So, Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun.

Mercury does not have any moon rings, it is also known as the smallest planet in the Galaxy. Mercury is the closest planet to the sun which it only takes 88 days to complete an orbit around the sun. Your weight on Mercury would be 38% of your weight in Earth. A day on the surface of Mercury  lasts 176 Earth day. Also a year on Mercury takes 88 Earth days.

Every 7 years Mercury can be seen from Earth passing the face of the Sun. This is because Mercury's orbit is turning by 7 degrees to the planet of Earths orbit and its known as a movement. The next movement of Mercury was on May 9, 2016 and was be visible from Europe after noon. 

70% of Mercury's core is made of iron. Mercury's core is about the size of earths moon. Mercury has the most iron in its core out of all the planets. There is also a rocky shell that's on the outside of the core which is about 320 miles thick. 

A mile and a kilometer are both units of length or distance. Kilometers are used in the metric system and each one is about 6/10 of a mile, which is used in the US standard system of measurement. A mile is longer than a kilometer. One mile is equal to 1.609 kilometers.

SUSTAINABILITY

What is sustainability issue?
Water Pollution. The main problem caused by water pollution is that it kills organisms that depend on these water bodies. Dead fish, crabs, birds, and sea gulls, dolphins, and many more animals often wind up on beaches, killed by pollution's in their habits (living environment). Pollution also disrupts the food chain as well. 

What causes the issue?
Water pollution can be caused in a number of ways, one of the most polluting being city sewage and industrial waste discharge. Indirect sources of water pollution include contaminants that enter the water supply from soils or groundwater systems and from the atmosphere via rain. Dairy farming is a massive problem because dairy farmers are polluting the water through the chemicals thy put in the ground like fertiliser and cow poop.      

What is being done to solve the issue?
Use water wisely. Also, you can reduce the amount of water you use in washing and bathing. If we all do this, we can significantly prevent water shortages and reduce the amount of dirty water that needs treatment. Do not throw chemicals, oils, paints and medicines down the sink drain, or the toilet. They are fencing off the cattle from water ways to prevent things like cow poop into going to the ground.

What else needs to be done to improve the issue?
You can prevent water pollution of nearby rivers and lakes as well as groundwater and drinking water by following some simple guidelines in your everyday life. Converse water by turning of the tap or sink when the water is not necessary. Also do not through litter into rivers lakes and oceans.
