How does road construction in general affect nature/the ecosystem?

Biology
1 answer:
puteri [66]2 years ago
5 0

Road construction has several impacts on nature and the ecosystem, such as habitat fragmentation or alteration, which is a drastic change in the place that species live. It also impacts the relationship between the species from that place, and their relationship with the environment itself. This can mean that they won't have food or a safe place, or maybe they won't have a predator anymore and the species wihout a predator will spread too much, causing an imbalance in the entire ecosystem. If you build a road in the middle of a forest, this land will be divided in two, and this will cause deep impacts. A road construction also usually brings with it the pollution, from the construction of the road and also from the vehicles that will be using it. But there are mitigation actions that can be taken to help reduce those negative impacts.

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The correct answer should be - no doctors or government can not decide if they can have children together or not, it is their personal decision and one can explain complications and consequences only.

Explanation:

Tay-Sachs disease is autosomal recessive disorder it means for the affecting an individual it requires both copy of the affected allele and in heterozygous condition individual act as a carrier and pass the affected gene to next generation. In this case, both parents are heterozygous which means there are 25% chances to have an affected child.

A genetic counselor or doctor can explain the problems parents can have with the affected child and what are the chances of the affected child, however, they can not and should not decide if they both should have children together or not as it is their personal choice and they should be responsible for pro and cons.

Hawking states that much of human behavior has not been calculated to “aid in
ss7ja [257]

The complete statement made by Stephen Hawking is: "though much of its behaviour through out history, has been pretty stupid, and not calculated to aid the survival of the species."

If one looks at our history, there are some events that defy our capacity for logical thinking. One would think that, as we possess this capacity, we would be able to direct our decisions towards the survival of the human species.

However, in many cases greed and the desire for personal gain have taken precedence. One good example was the burning of the great library of Alexandria, one of the most significant libraries in the ancient world. This magnificent collection was lost during the siege of Alexandria, when Julius Caesar set on fire the ships in the harbor.

Another example is the atomic bomb, when science has been used to invent one of the most destructive weapons known to us. Atomic warfare is still a threat that may end all life on Earth.

Furthermore, the greed of some corporations has led to multiple ecological catastrophes that endanger not only other species but our own future as well. One example is the Bhopal gas leak in India, where in 1984, due to poor maintenance, the chemical plant released 30 metric tons of methyl isocyanite into the atmosphere.
