Question

How do fluid flow and transport affect the human environment?

Answer 1

The presence and placement of many of Earth’s most valuable resources are determined by processes of fluid flow and transport.

The ability to assess and extract minerals, petroleum, natural

gas, and groundwater and to safely dispose of wastes depends on understanding fluids, both at the surface and below ground.

Some of the scientific questions associated with fluids also have application to earthquake prediction, climate prediction, the evolution of continents, the behavior of volcanoes, and the

properties of Earth materials.

New experimental tools and techniques, plus airborne and spaceborne measurements, are offering an unprecedented view of the processes that affect Earth's fluids.

However many questions still remain. The ultimate objective - to produce mathematical models that can predict the performance of natural systems far into the future—is still out of reach, but attaining it will be critical to making informed decisions about the future of the land and resources that support us.

Answer 2

We are able to transport 60,000 tons of plastic goods (trash mostly if you ask me) from China on a single ship at a relatively cheap price.   They have very few pollution prevention laws.    US companies saw the money they could make by moving factories over there instead of complying with pollution laws here, thus much more pollution that eventually drifts to us.   If it wasn't for the water transport being so cheap, they wouldn't do this.   Because the air transports the pollutions everywhere it affects our environment.

Answer 3

Let's think of supporting his idea of stopping or slowing down global warming .

We will start with suggsting People to grow trees.



Do you know that 1 single Tree can reduce temperature upto 5 Degree of surroundings .

1 Tree is equivalant to 10 Air Conditioners.

After Heavy Rains 1 Tree can store enough rain Water to reduce Floods in 1 Acre of land .

You can just Plant One tree to reduce global warming . If each one of 6 Billion population on earth plant 1 tree a year and take care of the growth of the tree then there would be 6 Billion tree in 1 year .

Result: After 5 years Temperature will stop increasing during day time as Trees will absorb the heat from sun for Photosynthesis process . Single Tree can store enough Carbondioxide that is emitted from 100 Vehicles . This happens during Day time , During night Tree again emits Carbon dioxide that will increase night temparatures. So temparature deviation in planted area is less than 10Degree C. Maximum 35 Degree C Minimum 25 Degree C.

A small test to see if trees really maintain temparature .

Take a thermometer and measure day high temparature and day low temparature in Forest or any thick greenery place and  barren land .

Now note down the day high and day low in forest.

Go to a barren land where there are no trees note down the day high and day low near barran land .

You can see that the differance between Max and minimum temparature varies more than 20 C in Barran land where as in Forest it is only 10 C variation.
