How can soil be lost or destroyed?

Soil can be lost or destroyed through erosion caused by water, wind, or human activities such as deforestation and unsustainable agricultural practices. Soil can also be degraded through contamination with pollutants, salinization, and compaction, which can reduce its fertility and ability to support plant growth.

Why is earth not getting larger even though new lithosphere is constantly being added at the oceanic ridges?

Rock creation is part of The Rock Cycle. Rocks are destroyed by erosion--they provide new material for sedimentary rocks. Rocks are created at rift zones in the crust--they are also plowed into the mantle at subduction zones and melt.


If the rainforests are getting cut down does it affect animals?

The Amazon rainforest produced 20% of the entire world's oxygen, as it is rich in plants. When it's being destroyed, the oxygen levels will affect us. 25% of all pharmaceutical drugs come from the plants in the rainforest. 99% of the rainforest has yet to been tested. Scientists know of potential ingredients that can be found in the rain forests that can create drugs to treat cancer, Alzheimer's, AIDS, and many others. Unfortunately, scientists also believe that all rain forests, including the Amazon, will be destroyed within the next 40 years (every second 1.5 acres are burned, logged, and/or cleared away.). So very likely, by the time we can actually find a cure for cancer or AIDs, the Amazon rainforest will be destroyed, because many landowners and timber harvesters believe the rainforest to be only as valuable as the resource inside of it. Cutting down any forest affects humans, and the natural cycles of all living things. At some point in the future we as humans may upset the natural balance of the Earth, and cutting down forests may be taking us closer to upsetting that balance.


What can happen if you are in a tornado?

Your home or whatever building you are in may be damage or even destroyed spending on the strength of the tornado and how sturdy the building is. If the building is destroyed you may be struck by falling debris or trapped under the rubble. If you are exposed to the open at all you may be struck by flying debris carried by the winds, which can injure or kill. You could even be picked up and carried by the winds of the tornado in which case survival is unlikely.
