A List of 10 Most Significant Environmental Threats That We are Going to Face

By -
Early We had discussed 8 most dangerous human activities that harm the environment.  This article is a continuation of that entry. You may have noticed we have missed several other human activities from that list. We are glad to see your suggestions and opinions in the commenting area. Here in this article we are going to discuss about "10 Threats that we are going to face in 21st century."


1. Global Warming


Global Warming in Guana



As a result of over Deforestation and emission of excess amount of oxides of carbon from power plants and vehicles there has been formed a green house effect around the Earth. Global warming would leads to water scarcity and extinction of several living organisms.



2. Water Scarcity


oh dear.. save water!


Causes: Destruction of water resources, Global warming, Deforestation, Decrease in rain water

Affects: Extinction, diseases,


3. Energy Scarcity


Causes: Great dependence on traditional energy sources, slow growth for renewable energy technology, over use of energy sources (exploitation)


Affects: Slower developments, loss of economic stability of countries, International war for energy.


4. Food Scarcity and Food Poisoning


Causes: population explosion, conversion of green farm areas to concrete farms, diet style


Affects: Extinction, war


5. Climate Change


Causes: global warning, over exploitation of minerals and resources, pollution of water bodies.


Affects: Mental retardation, diseases, extinction of Living organisms

6. Flood


Causes: Deforestation,reduction in water absorption capacity of soil,


Affects: affects farms, habitat loss,difficulty in transportation

7. Decrease in Under Water Level


Causes: Over exploitation of under water reservoirs, deforestation, use of plastic covers

Affects: Water scarcity

8. Sea level Rise and Decrease in Land Area


Causes: Ice melting at Poles due to Global warning.


Affects: Sea level rise, total land area reduction,


9. Earth quake


Causes: Dams, uncontrolled stone mining, nuclear experiments.

Affects: loss of habitat, death of human being as well as living organisms.


10. Infectious Diseases and Carcinogens and mutation


Causes: Radiation, ozone layer depletion, nuclear reactor explosions, mobile towers

Affects:  mutation, death of living organisms


How to Reduce the Strength of These Environmental Threats?


The one and only method to reduce the strength of environmental threats is afforestation.

  • Afforestation
  • Reduce the emission of oxides of carbon
  • Population control
  • Utilize renewable energy sources
  • Protect water resources
  • Utilize rain water
  • Avoid plastic

Make Small wind turbine at your home. You can see hundreds of make small wind turbine videos describing how to make small wind turbine at home easily. But many of them are not very helpful. Many of them do not offer a complete guide to make small wind turbine that works as a real one. People are not satisfied, which can be understood from their comments. They are searching google again, again and again for more Make Small wind turbine videos. So I decided to build a small wind turbine and upload the making video on youtube. I went to town and bought necessary tools and parts from a hardware shop. Then I asked my friend to shoot video using my Smartphone. Let's watch How to Make small Wind Turbine Done?? How is it? Later I realized a video is not enough to educate all kinds of people those who are willing to make small Wind turbine. In this post you can read each and every step I followed to make a small wind turbine. Don't forget to comment your opinion and share it with your ...

Let's make a home made mini wind turbine propeller today. Airfoil or propeller converts the kinetic energy of the wind into rotational Energy. When I first planned to make a simple mini wind turbine, I got confused about getting a mini wind turbine propeller. Many people suggested me to enquir in a hardware shop. But unfortunately, such a device was unavailable in our town. When I was thinking about a remedy, one of my old friend said, "try to make it yourself.'' So I decided to make a wind turbine propeller for my own mini wind turbine. You can read the complete instructions to make a home made mini wind turbine here. or watch video here. Home made mini wind turbine propeller In actual practice, the propeller is the most important parts of a wind turbine. It is the functioning part. They are made in such a shape to obtain the proper function. The blades of a propeller are designed in the shape of a cambered airfoil, having a characteristic shape with a rounded leadi...

Can You Turn Energy into Matter?

According to Albert Einstein, one of the famous scientists who derived the equation for mass-energy conversion said that, it is possible to convert Matter into Energy. We know that nuclear power generation is concerned with the conversion of mass or matter into energy. A very large amount of energy can be liberated from the matter according to Einstein's Energy equation. E=mc2 Where m is the mass and c is the speed of light in vacuum. This equation is known to everyone who studied physics. But some months ago when I was checking the statistics of the traffic to my website I found a search query that made my mind unstable (Search query: The title of this article). I really appreciate that googler. Suddenly I called my Physics teacher (Mr. Jobish John) to ask about the Energy-Mass Conversion . He guide me through the correct way to understand the energy-mass conversion. (Thank you sir!) Is it possible to convert Energy to Mass? The Large Hadron Collider/ATLAS at CERN by Image Editor,...
