WE don&#8217;t believe in gods because they aren&#8217;t real. we don&#8217;t hate unreal things nor am I afraid of unreal things.</p>
<p>PEOPLE,</p>
<p>Are you scared(thiest/athiest) to follow God?<br />
NO.</p>
<p>Are you(theist/atheist) scared to follow Nature?<br />
Yes</p>
<p>MAIN REASONS</p>
<p>REVENGE.</p>
<p>REVENGE-AVENGE ONESELF.</p>
<p>Mankind -&quot;Under the Law&quot;</p>
<p>Nature is above the law.</p>
<p>Example:The Tsunami is the result of human behavior, Man’s thoughts are responsible for all this&quot;.</p>
<p>&quot;If you do something bad, bad things will happen to you&quot;.</p>
<p>&quot;Every Action has an Equal and Opposite Reaction&quot;</p>
<p>Every Action Has a Consequence.</p>
<p>&quot;If mankind doesn&#8217;t learn we will end up wiping(nature or mankind) ourselves out.&quot;</p>
<p>&quot;Mother nature&#8217;s revenge against human development&quot;</p>
<p>The destruction of the Amazon would result in widespread flooding (worlds largest river system and flood plain), massive climate change resulting in the deaths of millions and the vast resources and natural treasures of the Amazon (most not yet discovered) being lost. Including plants with medicinal properties, which may hold the key to curing many currently difficult to treat illnesses. The Amazon protects not only from floods but drought, soil erosion and thus famine. </p>
<p>The homes of the tribal people who live there will also be lost, some previously unknown tribes. People who have had no contact with the modern world were recently seen shooting arrows at a plane that went overhead, they too will be affected and could loose their home and way of life. </p>
<p>There are hundreds of indigenous tribes in the Amazon rainforest. The indigenous groups in all of South America have disappeared or been torn apart by the colonization process, disease, alcohol, forced labor and war.</p>
<p>This vast rainforest remained almost untouched by the western culture until the first half of last century.<br />
<br />Simply put, you do something good, something good will happen to you in return, and if you do something bad, same deal.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&quot;Mother nature&#8217;s revenge against human development&quot;</p>
<p>People destroy the nature by doing the following things-</p>
<p>-people build cities.<br />
-They use plant species for medicinal uses.<br />
-The cut down tree&#8217;s to use the wood for furniture, paper and etc&#8230;<br />
-They take animals and wildlife species into public places like Zoo&#8217;s.<br />
-Logging,plam oil,cattle,farming.</p>
<p>The destruction of the Amazon would result in widespread flooding (worlds largest river system and flood plain), massive climate change resulting in the deaths of millions and the vast resources and natural treasures of the Amazon (most not yet discovered) being lost. Including plants with medicinal properties, which may hold the key to curing many currently difficult to treat illnesses. The Amazon protects not only from floods but drought, soil erosion and thus famine. </p>
<p>The homes of the tribal people who live there will also be lost, some previously unknown tribes. People who have had no contact with the modern world were recently seen shooting arrows at a plane that went overhead, they too will be affected and could loose their home and way of life. </p>
<p>There are hundreds of indigenous tribes in the Amazon rainforest. The indigenous groups in all of South America have disappeared or been torn apart by the colonization process, disease, alcohol, forced labor and war.</p>
<p>This vast rainforest remained almost untouched by the western culture until the first half of last century. There are hundreds of indigenous tribes in the Amazon rainforest. There are still over 200 indigenous groups in the Amazon Rainforest, talking 180 different languages and each with their own cultural heritage.</p>
<p>Indigenous societies possess an often unique body of cultural and environmental knowledge. The preservation and investigation of specialized indigenous knowledge, particularly in relation to the resources of the natural environment with which the society is associated, is an increasingly sought-after goal of both the indigenous and the societies who thereby seek to identify new resources and benefits.<br />
&quot;Every thing can feel sensations&quot;.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not going to get very detailed, but basically everything in nature can feel, most people/modern science are not able to understand it, because they are not familiar with other dimensions.</p>
<p>PEOPLE SAY(retribution Of People)</p>
<p>&quot;nature doesn&#8217;t have a brain&quot;</p>
<p>NATURE SAY(retribution Of Nature)</p>
<p>&quot;people doesn&#8217;t have a brain&quot;</p>
<p>&quot;Mother nature&#8217;s revenge against human development&quot;</p>
<p>Nature have a Anthropomorphism.</p>
<p> anthropomorphism seems to be a natural human trait. </p>
<p>&quot;inner nature of the land and a reflection of the inner nature of our souls&quot;.</p>
<p>Anthropomorphism is powerfully attractive, drawing people into deeper connection with nature and inanimate objects.<br />
The perfect Nature is a animate being(a living organism characterized by voluntary movement).<br />
While natural science deals with moveable, separable things and mathematics focusses upon immoveable, inseparable things, metaphysics (especially in its highest, most abstract varieties) has as its objects only things that are both immoveable and separable.</p>
<p>Nature do not &quot;belong&quot; to any one person. </p>
<p> nature have a Movables(animate) and Immovables(mathematics) things.<br />
<br />Damn nature, you scary!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ok I was reading some stuff on the Internet about dangered animals look what I found ; Pink Dolphins, also popularly known as Boto, Bouto or Amazon River Dolphin have bodies that are adapted to the Amazon river and have the Amazon Rainforest as their habitat. They are also commonly found in the streams and main rivers of the Orinoco River systems, the upper Madeira River in South America and Honk Kong&#8217;s Pearl River. Pink dolphins belong to the genus Inea with Inia Geoffrensis as their scientific name, and are not same as the dolphins seen in the oceans. Instead, these are the most popular of the five dolphin species that are river inhabitants and are distantly related to ocean dolphins (belong to different families).Most of the pink dolphins are pink, however, their color can vary from pink, murky brown, creamy white to blue gray and gray. They are gray when born and turn pink as they become mature. Scientists do not exactly know why these dolphins are pink. However, they believe that the pink coloration can be credited to the dolphin&#8217;s diet comprising of crabs and shell fish, which have a red pigment in their muscle tissues. As time progresses, the pigment gets built in the skin of the dolphin and imparts pink coloration to the skin. The presence of a large number of blood capillaries near the surface of the dolphin&#8217;s skin can also be another reason. This is why when dolphins get excited they become all pink, just as if they were blushing. Why are Pink Dolphins Endangered Pink dolphins are the last of the five other river dolphin species, as the others are almost practically extinct. As recorded by Brazilian scientists, their numbers have declined greatly since 2000. Researchers believe that these species are declining at the rate of 10% per year. The International Union for Conservation of Nature, an international organization based in Gland, Switzerland has listed them under the endangered species category. Pink dolphins have been inhabitants of the Amazon River for centuries. However, degradation of the river&#8217;s environment has endangered this awesome species. The different reasons that have contributed to pink dolphin&#8217;s verge of extinction are:Humans, the Greatest Enemy: Pink dolphins do not have any natural enemy. They are known to have a brain capacity 40% larger than humans, have lived in harmony with the Amazon people for centuries and are the friendliest of the dolphin species. There are several stories of dolphins helping drowning people and pushing them to the shore. However, these wonderful creatures do not get this friendly gesture in return. Urban and economic development, water pollution, etc., have made this dolphin&#8217;s survival difficult. River Contamination: Increasing contamination levels in the Amazon River spearheaded the risk of their extinction. Gold mines require mercury for their mining processes and then discarded as waste into the rivers. The increased level of mercury contamination has led to large number of pink dolphin deaths due to water pollution. River Traffic: Pink dolphins are creatures of curiosity and approach vessels in the rivers. Many a times they are hit by the vessel&#8217;s propellers and rendered hurt. The overload of boats in the rivers makes the risk of dolphins being hit very high. The noise pollution caused by the boats and vessels has resulted in the production of a disorienting phenomenon in the dolphin&#8217;s navigation system, which has resulted in the death of many.<br />
Destruction of the Tropical Rainforest: Humans are destroying the pink dolphin&#8217;s natural habitat, which is the South American tropical rainforest. This loss of habitat and destruction of the rainforest ecosystem is forcing them into extinction. Dam Construction: The government&#8217;s plan to build several hydro-electric dams in the Amazon region has added to the fears of pink dolphin&#8217;s becoming extinct. Hydro-electric dams are dangerous because their construction results in the isolation or divide of the dolphin groups. It will lead to two sets of dolphin populations on either side of the dam, thereby resulting in lower breeding rate. Entangled in Fish Nets: A large number of dolphins get caught in fishing nets and lose their lives. Getting accidentally entangled in fishing nets is the most common reason for dolphin mortality. Gill nets used by commercial fishermen are the ones that are highly dangerous for the lives of the dolphins. Fishermen commonly view dolphins as competitors to their fish and moreover a nuisance. According to the fishermen, these dolphins get stuck in their nets and eat all their fish, which is why they kill them. Dolphin Flesh as Fish Bait: The indiscriminate capture of dolphins for fish bait has ignited the extinction of this species. Dr. Vera da Silva, a biologist at the National Institute of Amazonian Research in Manaus, said that the adoption of fishing techniques from Colombia has resulted in this tragedy.How can we help letter writing(W<br />
<br />Pitch the idea of saving pink dolphins to Paris Hilton, she&#8217;s perfect fit, and she&#8217;s got the money. As far as penguins, why the hell we should make an effort and money to save them? They live in Antarctica, the coldest damn place on earth. I bet major cause of premature death is freezing. There is no excessive hunting or poisoning industries in Antarctica that could affect them. Most of this &quot;save species&quot; hysteria is BS. Extinction of species is natural process and has been happening for millions of years and time we live in is no different. We just happen to be a few million years late to save dinosaurs&#8230;hey it would be one hell of a farming with dinosaurs, would definitely solve world hunger problem&#8230;<br />
And,  if 40% larger then humans brain capacity can&#8217;t come up with camouflage&#8230;only larger Paris Hilton wallet capacity can save pinkies&#8230;  <img src='http://www.d-r-a-g.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

-  &#8216;complex response of river channel morphology subsequent to reservoir construction&#8217; (1979)<br />
-  &#8216;physical effects of reservoirs on river systems&#8217; (1979)</p>
<p>All of those books are by G.E.Petts, but basically i need any book about rivers and affects of man on them, cant seem to find anything!<br />
Thanks.<br />
It needs to be an online version of the book as i only need it for one assignment<br />

<p>I just want to make sure I got these guys right- they&#8217;re the only ones that leave me questioning. &gt;.&lt;<br />
<br />Check below for the corrections made. For each NO! I have provided an image or website to help you understand what you did wrong, and aid you in correctly visualizing it so you&#8217;ll get it right next time! Give me some more! Those were fun!</p>
<p>A 9.Which characteristic is absolutely necessary for a sedimentary rock to have potential as a possible reservoir rock for oil or gas?<br />
a. high porosity b. clastic texture c. low porosity d. lots of faulting<br />
YES!</p>
<p>D 10. Coal beds originate in ____________.<br />
a. shallow lakes in a dry, desert region c. channels of fast-moving streams<br />
b. deep, marine basins below wave action d. freshwater coastal swamps or bogs<br />
YES!</p>
<p>D 12. Rainshadow deserts are common in ____________.<br />
b. vast, dry, steppe lands like the Great Plains<br />
c. tropical central Africa<br />
d. the dry valleys of eastern California and Nevada<br />
e. Europe north of the Alps<br />
YES! (Pretty sure.)</p>
<p>T 1.Calcite is the main mineral constituent of the sedimentary rock limestone and of the metamorphic rock marble.<br />
YES!</p>
<p>T 4.Global warming refers to the warming of the planet resulting primarily from increases in carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere due to fossil fuel burning.<br />
YES!</p>
<p>F 5.There is evidence that large explosive volcanic eruptions which put large quantities of gases and dust into the air can cause a drop in global temperatures.<br />
NO! Those &quot;gases and dust&quot; that are erupted can clog the atmosphere, blocking/reflecting some rays (solar radiation) from the sun from entering the atmosphere, causing a cooling since it&#8217;s not getting enough warmth. </p>
<p>T 8.In the north-central United States, much of the land north of the Ohio and Missouri Rivers was covered by one or more of the Pleistocene ice sheets.<br />
YES!</p>
<p>F 13.Yosemite Valley is an example of a glacial trough.<br />
NO! (Glacier-carved valleys have a distinct bowl, or u-shape to them. It&#8217;s very different visually when compared to v-shaped valleys which are the result of fluvial erosion&#8211;water, streams, rivers, etc.)</p>
<p>F 16.As the South Atlantic basin widens by seafloor spreading, Africa and South America are moving closer together.<br />
YES!</p>
<p>T 19.The San Andreas Fault is a transform fault connecting the spreading center in the Gulf of California and the Cascadia subduction zone and Mendocino fault.<br />
YES! (Check below for images: The first is of the San Andreas Fault and the others are of the Mendocino Fault. It seems that they pretty much connect, or one ends where the other starts. Looking at these maps will help you visualize it.)</p>
<p>The __Amazon__ River has the largest discharge of any in the world.<br />
YES!</p>
<p>The __outer core___ is the layer of warm rock below the lithosphere that readily deforms and flows plastically.<br />
NO! (This is called the Mantle, and consists of 70% of the Earth&#8217;s internal structure, and it rests directly beneath the crust, or lithosphere.)</p>
<p>_Infiltration__ is the component of the hydrologic cycle that describes the recharge of water to the soil and groundwater systems.<br />
YES!</p>
<p>When describing groundwater systems, the _zone of saturation_ is the term for the surface separating the saturated and unsaturated zones.<br />
YES!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Peru has three main drainage systems. One comprises about 50 torrential streams that rise in the sierra and descend steeply to the coastal plain. The second comprises the tributaries of the Amazon River in the montaña region. In the third the principal feature is Lake Titicaca, which drains into LakePoopó in Bolivia through the DesaguaderoRiver.<br />
The Napo, Tigre, and Pastaza rivers rise in Ecuador and flow into Peru. The latter two streams are tributaries of the MarañónRiver, and the Napo empties into the Amazon River. The border between Peru and Colombia is delineated by the PutumayoRiver.<br />
religion, although it recognized Catholicism &quot;as an important element in the historical, cultural, and moral formation of Peru.&quot; Other religions are permitted and tolerated, and small numbers of Protestants, Jews, and Muslims live in Peru.<br />
Education  The literacy rate in Peru has increased substantially as a result of greater emphasis on education. According to estimates, the adult literate population rose from 42 percent in 1940 to 89 percent in 1995. Public basic education in Peru<br />
<br />My home city, Adelaide, Australia.</p>
<p>I think Sydney (I have lived there too) and Adelaide are just as special as your city and both have a tolerant and educated population.</p>
<p>Also:<br />
Beaches, rivers, hills, national parks, wild life.  We have all blessings.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Im almost 20, and I am only going to a community college, geting ready to transfer.  I need help in picking a major. You see, my hobby is aquariums and takeing care of fish and growing plants. I try to mimic theire habitats. i want to go in to a carere that  will involv me in doing the following, but i dont know if one exsist or what its called&#8230;</p>
<p>study fish and plants in theire natural habitats<br />
understand all the biological influences on the ecosystems<br />
learn about the aqatic eco-systems&#8230;in areas such as the Amazon River or lakes where tropical fish live</p>
<p>understand about the living organisms in the ocean,  fish, mamels, algea, corals,  micro organisms..etc</p>
<p>learn about all differnt species of fish native to in-land lakes<br />
learn about each species of aquatic plants and there affect on the enviorment<br />
learn about all aspects of plant biology<br />
learn everything abnout corals and saltwater systms<br />
learn about freshwater systems.</p>
<p>thats basicly what i want do. but i dont know what kind of careeres are out there. thanks for your help.<br />
<br />research aquatic biology and/or marine biology, limnology, or even ichthyology.</p>
<p>some sites i looked at &gt;</p>
<p>this:</p>
<p>http://www.princetonreview.com/Majors.aspx?cip=261304&#038;page=1</p>
<p>and this:</p>
<p>http://www.environmentalprograms.net/guidance/aquatic-bio/#prof</p>
<p> &#8230;pretty general info .. mostly about the education side of it, but the latter has some good links.</p>
<p>http://aslo.org/jobs.html</p>
<p>^this one is kind of like a classifieds listing.</p>
<p>http://www.aquanet.com/index.php?option=com_content&#038;task=view&#038;id=26&#038;Itemid=1</p>
<p>just the employment listing,<br />
but the rest of the site (aquanet.com) is interesting too.</p>
<p>so you can kind of get an idea of what sorts of work is out there, and what kind of education you need.</p>
<p>i wandered around the last two quite a bit this summer, waiting for school to start  c:<br />
(im a fledgling aquatic biology major!)</p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
