Nice guys...

mini

psharmininair — 2015-05-03 11:42:32 UTC

good ones guys...guess all of us have good understanding on it..lets start with carbon cycle video.In this video,i can said that it really telling or discussing about the causes and effect of human activities towards carbon cycle.

whats your guys opinion

Siti

rdyenz — 2015-05-03 11:44:43 UTC

So basically, what I understand after watching that video is that when carbon is released and how fossil fuel are formed. When a green plant dies, the fungi and bacteria will undergo respiration and release carbon. This process causes the releasing of carbon back to atmosphere. How about you Amin?

amin

aminuddinmuhd17 — 2015-05-03 11:48:48 UTC

okay, from the video I understand that carbon is everywhere in our ecosystem. There are carbon in the air, soil, ocean and also our body. Fauna will release carbon and plants will absorb the carbon released and the process is recycled.

Siti

rdyenz — 2015-05-03 11:51:28 UTC

Great Amin. However, there had been a slight changes to this carbon cycle due to human's activity towards nature especially in burning fossil fuels. When people burn fossil fuels, the carbon that was originally taken up from atmosphere by the plant is released as carbon dioxide. This causing the addition of carbon atoms in the atmosphere. So, let me ask you guys. When there are excessive amount of carbon atoms in the atmosphere, what will happen to our earth?

mini

psharmininair — 2015-05-03 11:51:53 UTC

good explanation guys...i guess this video should not use same essay organisation like what i explained just now..another type which is block type a..Whats you guys think?

Siti

rdyenz — 2015-05-03 11:58:50 UTC

Yup. That is correct. But from my opinion. It is not necessarily Type A or B. Both of them can be used in this essay because you can explained more on both causes or effect.

amin

aminuddinmuhd17 — 2015-05-03 12:03:26 UTC

Yeah I agree with you because it gives the cause then the effects if carbon continue to increase in our atmosphere

amin

aminuddinmuhd17 — 2015-05-03 12:09:39 UTC

So guys have you watch the second video about fracking?

mini

psharmininair — 2015-05-03 12:11:32 UTC

i guess you guys really agree to my statement just now.so lets continue our discussion with next video.Next video is about fracking.Fracking is about the recovery of natural gas from layers inside the earth and it will be enclosed natural gas and has been known since 1940's especially in United States Of America(USA).

amin

aminuddinmuhd17 — 2015-05-03 12:14:33 UTC

Yup, companies start using fracking these days because many conventional gas sources have been exhausted resulting in oil price to rise thus using fracking has been more profitable to extract the natural gas.

Siti

rdyenz — 2015-05-03 12:15:07 UTC

That is true, however there a risks and concern of fracking which is air pollution, exposure to toxic chemicals, waste disposal and contamination of groundwater. Maybe Mini or Amin want to explain more about this?

amin

aminuddinmuhd17 — 2015-05-03 12:18:28 UTC

okay first of all fracking use many chemical compound which is highly toxic and carcinogenic. They will drill and put pipe down beneath the ground then use these chemicals to help dissolve the minerals in order to extract the natural gases. Besides that the waste from the fracking will be pump back into the ground thus will result in contamination of ground water. Fracking also release a large amount of green house gases that will lead to air pollution and also uses an enormous amount of water and energy. Sadly the water used in this process cannot be clean even in treatment plant because it will become very toxic and deadly if consumed.

psharmininair — 2015-05-03 12:33:06 UTC

wow thats a great and long explanation amin...I am impressed by that expalnation..Any ideas that whats type of essay organisation that we should use for this essay?

Siti

rdyenz — 2015-05-03 12:36:27 UTC

Yeah Mini. I think Type A of Block Organisation is suitable for this essay because the effect are more significant than causes. Any other ideas?

amin

aminuddinmuhd17 — 2015-05-03 12:38:28 UTC

I also agree with that Siti.

mini

psharmininair — 2015-05-03 12:38:33 UTC
