What do you think really happened to the people of easter island?
BaLLatris [955]
Easter Island is a small 63-square-mile patch of land — more than a thousand miles from the next inhabited spot in the Pacific Ocean. In A.D. 1200 (or thereabouts), a small group of Polynesians — it might have been a single family — made their way there, settled in and began to farm. When they arrived, the place was covered with trees — as many as 16 million of them, some towering 100 feet high.

These settlers were farmers, practicing slash-and-burn agriculture, so they burned down woods, opened spaces, and began to multiply. Pretty soon the island had too many people, too few trees, and then, in only a few generations, no trees at all.

Think about challenges related to marine science which are currently facing society. In coastal and inland communities alike, th
Alex_Xolod [135]

Global challenges related to marine science are as follows:

1. Ocean acidification is a major issue that affects all of the world's ocean industries and has severe negative effects on the environment, society, and the economy. Coordinated government action is required to effectively address this issue.

<h3>What is impact of ocean acidification?</h3>

Ocean acidification will affect the biological, biogeochemical, and ecological aspects of the oceans, and while the effects on the environment, the socio-ecological system, and human dimensions are all still not fully understood, they have the potential to have very dramatic effects. Numerous marine ecosystem services and goods may be impacted directly or indirectly. Industries that rely on these services from the Ocean are impacted.

2. Overfishing:

Overfishing poses a severe threat to the fish in our water, whether it's for the food industry or the aquarium sector. The Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that more than half of the species of marine fish have been totally or overexploited, despite the fact that many of them simply need to remain in the sea because they are not necessary for food security or because they cannot survive in captivity. We are killing entire ecosystems and the food chains that are necessary to keep them healthy by overfishing. Overfishing not only causes the extinction of entire species, but it also directly affects other species in the food chain.

3. Plastic

Between 1.15 and 2.41 million tons of plastic enter the ocean every single year. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which is a collection of rubbish in the Pacific Ocean is now three times the size of France. Animals can get tangled in the huge amount of plastic which litter the ocean, and the plastic smothers and destroys coral and sponges. Plastic bags are also often mistaken for food by sea turtles, and they either become trapped or eat the bag which clogs their digestive system. Plastic continuously breaks down resulting in little pieces of “micro-plastic” that are consumed by a variety of marine life, including several species that humans like to catch and eat.

solutions that account for societal needs and wants:

1. Cutting back on carbon emissions.

2. Reducing plastic usage.

3. Making sure the fish you consume is supplied sustainably and ethically.

4. Participating in beach cleanups.

5. Only purchase aquarium fish that were raised in captivity.

6. Supporting elected officials that favor a wholesome atmosphere

7. Contributing to environmental organizations that protect our oceans.

BIG POINTS To whoever answers this 50 POINTS ok Describe how energy is produced from power of water. In your answer, include the
ioda

Hydropower can be harnessed from flowing and falling water. Water stored behind dams and at a height has a lot of potential energy which is converted into mechanical and electrical energy.This water is released gradually and is made to fall under the force of gravity and drive hydraulic turbines and electri­cal generators. Hydropower is also another indirect form of using solar energy. Hydropower has great potential as a supplier of electricity but environmental constraints limit such a development as the generation of electricity by hydro­electric power plants result in pollution and massive ecological disruptions such as land flooding, siltation, eutrophication and adverse effects on flora and fauna. Smaller dams and reservoirs cause less damage but cannot exploit the full potential of this energy resource. Planning environmental impact assessment and construction of a hydroelec­tric power plant takes many years and the high initial capital investments are also limiting factors in the development of hydropower. The development cost of hydroelectric power plants can be reduced by developing low cost turbines and generators, involving public participation in the development and opera­tion of the project and using efficient environmental friendly technologies.
