Human kinds intervention with nature

A. Balance in nature recovered

Progress in Agriculture, Engineering and Medicines

Agricultures
 Larger varieties of fruits and vegetables
 More resistant to deceases

Example
a. Butter – yielding rice, wheat and potatoes
b. Breed seedless grapes and seedless papaya
c. Seedless lansones, rambutan, melon and watermelon

Medicine
 Core deceases
 Prolonging and preserving life
 Better nutritional practice producing healthier babies
 End results of all these is a much faster rate of population

Animal Science
 Improve the breed of animals used for food
 Faster-growing chickens and pigs and cultured fish like tilapia
 Artificial hatching of eggs
 Resulted in more food for fast growing population

Engineering
 Better means of transformation in land, air and sea
 Bullet train canrunup to 300 kph
 Airplanes that can carry up to 500 passenger
 Large ships powered by nuclear fuel

Landscapes
 Dams were built to produce electricity

Homes
 Artificial lightning-air-condition system, refrigerator to preserve food ratio and
television and electrics
  Gadgets in kitchen

Food Technology
 Variety of food available in market-can goods, powder milk, packed lunches
preserved fruits and vegetables.

Adverse effect of people activities

1. The Greenhouse effect – the rise in the average temperature of earth

2. Ozone Depletion – compounds of carbon such as CO2 and CFC’s nitrogen oxides
and methane break up ozone molecules there by gradually depleting it.
3. Acid Rain – sulfur and nitrogen oxides are released from industrial factories and
others, they return to the ground as sulfuric and acid nitric acids.
4. Water Pollution – industrial wastes deposed of in streams and rivers have polluted.
These bodies of water, making them unfit for fish and aquatic animals to inhabit.
5. Deforestation – the overcutting of trees in virgin forest has done irresponsible
damage to the environment. Effect of it includes soil erosion, floods, sitting of rivers
and less of habitat of animals.
6. Solid waste Disposal – progress produces a large amount of garbage
7. Nuclear waste – nuclear power is the most efficient and relatively cheap source of
energy, but every harmful to human being and heavy dozes are fatal.
8. Noise pollution – direct result of industrial revolution by, least paid afternoon but if
effected documented.

Brief History of Energy Consumption

Primitive Period – and individual consumed around 2000 kcal/year. Electricity was not
invented and food un cook hunting stage, consumption increased to 5000 kcal /year.

Very agriculture stage – increased to 12, 000 kcal or year

Pre-industrial Revolutions Stage – 26, 000 kcal or year
Industrial Revolution – 70 000 kcal/year. Various form of technology were introduced
which influence their lifestyle.
Today - 230 000 kcal/year/person
