The Sulfur Cycle 1/20/18

Image
Summary:        This week in science we learned about biogeochemical cycles, more specifically, I learned about the biogeochemical cycle known as the Sulfur Cycle. What I now know about the Sulfur Cycle because of what I learned this week through research is each part in the sulfur cycle. I also now know that their are a lot of different parts in the sulfur, but my focus was trying to make this complicated cycle very simple and easy to understand. The first part in the Sulfur Cycle is  Hydrogen Sulfide Gas is released into the atmosphere by the eruptions of volcanoes, hot springs (“ spring produced by the emergence of geothermally heated groundwater that rises from the Earth's crust. ”) , and the decay of living biological sulfur-containing materials in swamps, bogs, and tidal flats. Sulfur is also released from the ocean in sulfur-containing compounds in sea spray, and as the gas hydrogen sulfide. I also know that most of the sulfur released from the world's...

Relationships Between Organisms 2/2/18

Summary:        This week in science we learned about different types of relationships between organisms. I now know that their are 5 different types of relationships between organisms. Those 5 different types of relations between organisms are predation or prey and predation, competition, and symbiosis relationships that consist of mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism.  Predation is when one organism consumes all or part of another organism. Predation is a win-lose relationship because organism consumes and the other organism gets hurt or gets consumes. Competition is a relationship where organisms compete for resources such as food, light, water, shelter, mates, etc. Competition is also a win-lose situation. The last type of relationship between organisms is a symbiosis relationship. A symbiosis relationship between organisms of a different species. There are three different types of symbiotic relationships, they are mutualism, commensalism, parasitism. ...

WAC - Is Ecotourism Helping or Hurting our National Parks? 12/14/17

Is Ecotourism Helping or Hurting our National Parks?              Have you ever thought about how ecotourism positively and negatively hurts national parks? Ecotourism is supposed to be a very good thing for us (humans) and wildlife. But currently, this is not the case. Ecotourism is actually hurting our national parks and also the animals and wildlife that lie within them. Ecotourism is hurting our national parks through changing their mindset and making them think more about the money that they will make rather than the animals they are supposed to protect. National parks are making these animals habituated or not "wild" and are putting these animals through conditions that are irregular. Furthermore, this is happening today and has become a huge problem the United States needs to face.        One reason/way ecotourism is hurting our national parks is by ecotourism affecting how they (national parks) see ecotourism. ...
