BI TASK 1

ZP28 — 2015-05-04 00:09:52 UTC

Fellow friends, we need to delegate the task for this BI work. Do paste your answer on this padlet. Thank you!

CARBON CYCLE PART 1

ZP28 — 2015-05-04 00:41:50 UTC

In my opinion, the carbon cycle is a system of regulatory of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is regulated by the beings that live on this planet. The carbon cycle started with the absorption of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by the plant and this cause photosynthesis process to happen. This plant (producer) will be eaten by herbivore animal, causing the transfer of the carbon dioxide into the animals. These herbivores animal then will be eaten by the carnivores animal, causing another transfer of carbon dioxide.

Other than the transfer of carbon dioxide according to the food chain, carbon also can be regulate by the excretory system of animals. When animal excrete urine or faeces to the ground, it will cause these substances to decompose at the soil. The decomposition of this urine and faeces is done by the bacteria. As a result of integration of these substances by bacteria, it will cause some of the carbon to the ground and most of it, will come back to the atmosphere.

The same principle also applied at the ocean. Other than plants on the land, ocean also serve as a 'carbon sink'. Carbon dioxide is absorb by photosynthetic bacteria and plants at the ocean, causing the carbon dioxide to travel down into the ocean. This bacteria and plants then will be eaten by animals, causing carbon transfer. When this animals is died, it will travel deep down to the bottom of the ocean, causing an accumulation of carbon at the sea floor. This carbon will eventually become petroleum.

This is basically the cause and effect of the carbon cycle that i understood from the video. Do share your opinion guys on how the carbon cycle works in nature in terms of causes and effects.

CARBON CYCLE PART

ZP28 — 2015-05-04 01:38:32 UTC

In my opinion, due to human activities such as deforestation, release of smoke from factory and car and many other forms of pollution cause the emission of greenhouse gas that make our atmosphere become more hot.

Deforestation involve in chopping down trees for industrial and housing purposes. When number of trees become smaller, this affect in the regulation of the carbon dioxide and could cause the accumulation of carbon dioxide at the atmosphere, thickening the troposphere.

Human also involve in the emission of carbon gas due to the activity of factory. Without a proper filtering of the smoke release through the air, this can damage our atmosphere badly, thus prompting global warming.

I believe that human needs to change in order to survive more longer at Earth. Plants need to be planted, smoke need to be filtered, and human need to change in order to make Earth more conducive to live at.

This is basically what i understand in terms of the cause and effect that was brought by human to the carbon cycle.

TYPE OF ESSAY

ZP28 — 2015-05-04 01:58:23 UTC

I think i would use the chain organisation essay system since this type of carbon cycle have that 'domino' effect. For example, carbon dioxide is absorb by plant. Plant is ate by herbivore, causing carbon transfer, herbivore ate by carnivore, another carbon transfer happen. For me, it is like one event that lead to another, just like a chain. What is your opinion?

The carbon cyle

ZP28 — 2015-05-04 02:06:05 UTC

The vids that we need to watch. After watching do comment about it!

Fracking explained

ZP28 — 2015-05-04 02:07:24 UTC

Another vids that we need to watch and comment about! We need to discuss this matter and the most significant causes and effects at this padlet wall. If you were writing an essay on this, would you choose a block organisation (type A or type B) or a chain organisation? Say why you choose it

Fracking

2015-05-04 02:50:10 UTC

For me, fracking can cause contamination of underground water. It can effect the quality of the water we receive everyday. Just imagine drinking a water full of cancer agent chemical, it is not very healthy right? As for writing an essay about this, i would choose block organisation type B. The reason i choose this is because that the effect of that the fracking system brought is immensely important to be discuss about. What do you guys think?

BI TASK 1 ZAM

2015-05-04 02:56:52 UTC

I do two for this part okay.. you guys do the rest okay!

Sentence 1: Opening a new hospital in 2006 has led to the reduction to the number of infant mortality.

Sentence 2: The decrease of infant mortality is owing to the opening of a new hospital in 2006.

CARBON CYCLE

2015-05-06 05:29:14 UTC

Human activities had cause imbalance in the atmosphere. Deforestation and industrial activity causes introduction of access carbon in the carbon cycle. This access carbon which can also be in the form of gas envelopes the atmosphere, globally changing the climate. Therefore, humans should realize the damage that had been done and focus on efforts to protect the environment. Trees should be planted and green source of energy should be used.

TYPE OF ESSAY

2015-05-06 05:44:58 UTC

I would use the chain organization system as it can be presented in chronological order as everything is related with one another. Plants absorb carbon, taken by animals, released to atmosphere and the process repeats. Human activities induce more carbon, access carbon causes climate change.

Task1 - Mirza the Great

2015-05-06 06:05:38 UTC

The increased demand of electricity is caused by the cold winter of 1995.

A fall in the number of fatal accidents is due to installing speed cameras on main roads.

TASK 1

2015-05-06 06:15:09 UTC

1) Constructing an airport is the result of more tourist arriving.

2) There has been increased demand for electricity since the cold winter of 1995

FRACKING

2015-05-06 06:28:50 UTC

Hydraulic fracturing or fracking is a process in obtaining fossil fuels. This method is becoming more famous due to the increasing demand of fossil fuels as most of the sources were already depleted. The major effect of fracking is that it contaminates water which cannot be decontaminated using water treatment plants. I would choose the block organisation type A as the effect is more significant than the cause. Clean water is important to all living things on earth. The effect of these valuable waters being contaminated is what we should be stressing about.
