The Earth has a natural temperature control system. Earth’s atmosphere is primarily composed of nitrogen that is 78 percent% and oxygen is 21%. These atmospheric gases restrict the absorption of infrared energy. Only the greenhouse gases, which make up less than 1 percent of the atmosphere, offer Earth insulation. Read More

One of the most frightening and destructive phenomena of nature is an earthquake. An earthquake is a series of violent vibrations on the earth’s surface caused by the generation of seismic waves due to sudden rupture within the earth during the release of accumulated strain energy. The location where the earthquake starts is called hypocenter. The location above is called the epicenter. The epicenter is the point on the surface where the earthquake is the strongest.

The world is undoubtedly warming. Global warming refers to an average increase in the Earth’s temperature, which in turn causes changes in climate. A warmer Earth may lead to changes in rainfall patterns, a rise in sea level, and a wide range of impacts on plants, wildlife, and humans.
Endangered Species are species, which are in danger of extinction. The survival of such species is difficult if the negative factors that have led to a decline in their population continue to operate. Endangerment involves the habitats and environments where species live and interact with one another. The strongest forces in rapid habitat loss are human beings. Every region of the earth has been affected by human activity. Humans cause the majority of threats to species, sites, and habitats. These threats are often interconnected and reinforce each other.
