Geography: Sustainable development #17 Soil Conservation (erosion perspective)
Good day steemit friends, today i am going to be sharing with you the way we can achieve soil conservation. The problem about soil erosion is that it can hardly be stooped, or totally prevented. It goes on, so long as rain falls and winds blows. All that can be done to conserve this non-renewable resource is to attack the causes of erosion in order to check or reduce its effects. Doing this is what we refer to as soil conservation or soil management. >Soil Conservation is the name given to a handful of techniques aimed at preserving the soil. Soil loss and loss of soil fertility can be traced back to a number of causes including over-use, erosion, salinization and chemical contaminati...
Geology: Tsunamis in Peculiar Places: What the Seiche?!
One of the more interesting phenomena I've stumbled upon while studying geology is the possibility for tsunamis to occur on lakes, inland seas and even . However, these tsunamis are not the causality of a geological event necessarily. Sometimes they are, but typically it is a meteorological event that produces them. While the major weather stations will refer to them as 'meteotsunamis', they're technically called a , which are very similar to storm surges. Today I will be discussing what causes a seiche to occur, the dangers they bring and which regions in the world are prone to them. So what causes a seiche to occur?
Anthropology: Committing oneself to a semiotic concept of culture and its approach is to commit to its ethnographic assertion
Committing oneself to a semiotic concept of culture and its approach is to commit to its ethnographic assertion
Anthropology is a science whose advancement is less seen by a flawlessness of agreement than by a refinement of verbal confrontation. What shows signs of improvement is the accuracy with which we vex each other. This is exceptionally hard to see when one's consideration is being hoarded by a single party to the contention. Monologues are of little incentive here, on the grounds that there are no conclusions to be accounted for, there is just a talk to be maintained. It is less in what they say than what they are seeing to, a colossal increment in interest, in ant...
