diets on other animals but was virtually no predators of its own (PBS.org, 2008), exists in a unique position. The jaguar limits the populations of other inhabitants, predators included, thusly maintaining a balance in the tropical rainforest. As the jaguar preys on many species, including predators such as the black caiman and anaconda, neither species’ population is allowed to grow beyond control thus protecting the lower level consumers that black caiman and anaconda prey upon. The amount of

sloping sides. The type of lava also influences the hazard, if the lava is ryolytic then it has a high viscosity due to its high silica content and its low temperature (only between 650-750 Celsius). Therefore it won’t flow very fast, minimising the impact of the hazard, whereas if it is basaltic like Mount Nyiragongo then it will flow extremely fast, intensifying the hazard. The type of lava also affects how explosive the volcanic eruption is; if the lava is of low viscosity such as basaltic lava

Socio-economic vulnerabilities and impacts The foregoing discussion of the indicators of environmental change and human driving forces has already alluded to some socioeconomic impacts of environmental changes. In fact, some of the second- or third-order changes in the status of environmental resources are manifestations of impacts of people's adjustment to environmental changes. For such reasons, at times it is difficult to separate precisely the impacts of environmental changes as causes of socio-economic

but the proper definition is Environmental Science is an interdisciplinary field that combines information from many disciplines, such as biology, geography, chemistry, geology, physics, economics, sociology (particularly demography, the study of populations), cultural anthropology, natural resource management, agriculture, engineering, law, politics, and ethics Berg and Hager (2009). Environmental Science is all about understanding the environment, how it works and how to protect it in the future

Geo/155 March 5, 2011 Katherine Ripley The discussion of world resource depletion has been pushed aside because of the increased public and political focus, which is mainly the depletion of fossil fuel energy with the possibility of terrible impact on world food production. The International Energy Agency (IEA) appears to have stated untruthfully, the information on world fossil fuel depletion, as a result of telling the truth about how world energy resources may have already, in relation to

difference in the quality of life for future generations. But policymakers and politicians are going to have to come to grips with the specter of continued population growth in much of the developing world and continued depletion of natural resources everywhere. In particular, four challenges loom: Continuing the downward trend in population growth, reaching replacement–level fertility as soon as possible; stemming the hemorrhage of biological diversity; reducing non-sustainable consumption patterns;

Most predictions of major catastrophe don’t come true. Why? Because once humans become convinced of such a negative outlook they tend to change their behavior. So, the goal of social debate on a subject like global warming, and perhaps all subjects found within Fourth Quarter (a Socratic dialogue website in development, 4thqtr
