Many possible reasons:
--for better traction in slippery conditions.
--for a better view down the road, because such vehicles are often higher off the ground.
--for feeling safer in an accident because they're surrounded by a bigger, heavier vehicle.
--for more seating and/or storage capacity, especially since traditional full size station wagons have disappeared.
--for showing off to the neighbors.
--for demonstrating to everyone else that they have enough money to buy expensive vehicles.
--for making many visits to gas stations, which also frequently have excellent collections of junk food for sale.
- because you know that everyone else will think you're the kind of person that does go off road for adventure and you crave anonymous envy. Just like wearing a team sweatshirt will make everyone think you are/were an athlete.
2 doves come to you 1 to your house 1 lands on your car?
The Romany (Gypsies) see doves as the embodiment of marriage. For one to come to your house could be interpreted as a coming marriage (either yourself or a member of your household) and the other to the car could be seen as the second party in the marriage coming from "far" away.
The dove is a universal symbol of peace, and you may find this interpretation more to your liking.
What are the environmental issues associated with the power generation?
please give me list the enviormental issues associated with power generation
According to me, it shouldn't be. travelling from one end to another would be just impossible. even to travel till 5 kms will be quite difficult. as for the pollution concern hydrogen cars etc could be used which nowadays aren't popular and very expensive. also one could use public transport instead of individual's.
Why are other counties more polluted than others?
it could because of resources but more then likely the temperature and what they have there like any attractions.
How do efforts to supply water to humans affect the environment?
in doing so, we of necessity take water away from other areas. many of these areas have little or no water to spare for their own needs. also dams are usually needed, which have many environmental impacts, from flooding surrounding lands to killing fish (both directly & indirectly).
What are cubas natural resources?
oil, natural gas, cobalt, nickel, iron ore, chromium, copper, salt, timber, silica, petroleum and land.
How exactly does DDT harm peregrine falcon?
DDT is an insecticide that is no longer used. It caused peregrine falcon eggs to break open and kill the embryos very quickly.
overpopulation is where a country does not have enough available living space to accommodate all of it's population. A good example of this is Japan where most of the countries land is mountainous and hardly habitable.
There will always be enough public services (police, hospital's, etc.) to supports a population, providing there is enough jobs so people are able to pay taxes.
As technology improves more new jobs are made, but even more jobs are made obsolete as the more laborious jobs are replaced by automation or are simply made obsolete by modern technology. This is a more and more pressing issue the human race must face as the population of the earth will soon be 10 billion and only a very, very, very small minority of people control the overwhelming majority of money and of course the worlds Natural Resources.
It Means Overpopulated. It may be Humans, or Animals.
Some of the major types of water pollutants are chemical pollution, nutrient pollution, and microbial pollution. Ways to reduce microbiological pollution are by having facilities to clean the water. To reduce nutrient pollution stop using fertilizers and to reduce chemical pollution monitor companies more closely to stop them from dumping chemicals into the water.
What was bad about the Chernobyl explosion?
The release of a large amount of radiation, the death of about 50 firefighters and plant staff, the evacuation of the neighbouring town and area.
What are the environmental effects of solvents?
"Solvents" covers a wide range of materials. Water, as an example, seems to be a useful solvent and, as we run our bodies based on a water based solution (as blood) we find it quite useful. People have been known to die from drinking too much water and it presents physical dangers for those who can't swim to share but overall it is a good thing.Environmentally it washed toxic materials from the air to poison lakes, it erodes cliffs and riverbanks, it (if fresh) kills ocean fish. Benzene seems to be another case - it is toxic and carcinogenic. It causes many environmental problems but provided you with many medicines, plastics and other products you'd not want to do without it. Ethyl alcohol - bad in the environment, good in wines.In short all solvents are good when used properly and may be environmentally neutral, beneficial or harmful depending on their chemical characteristics, concentrations and locations.
What is the percentage of pollution that vehicles and engines contribute?
Nearly 70% of it is from cars. 20% is from Methane (from farting), and the rest from cloroforocarbons (or something like that) that used to be in the air back in the 70's (it was found in spray cans).
What are the mixtures in the environment?
The mixtures include mainly:
- Oxygen
- nitrogen
- carbon dioxide
- water vapor
- some air pollutants (as nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, vehicle smokes, ... etc)
Why do you still use coal even though it causes pollution?
Because not everyone can afford to spend tons of money on other things to keep themselves warm.
Earth Island Institute is one institution that is making strides to get rid of water pollution. The Nature Conservancy is another organization working to keep our waters safe.
How does plastic pollution affect sea water quality?
It doesn't affect the water itself - though the contents of a plastic container might. However it is unsightly and worse, can trap, injure or kill wildlife.
Many turtles for example, die from swallowing plastic bags that to them look like the jellyfish they live on. Birds and marine mammals become entangled in old fishing nets, beer-can binders and the like.
