In the present article deals with Snorri Sigurdsson's heritage of mankind, what we will leave behind us on earth forever. "If a human would suddenly evaporate it would leave a trace and one is plastic: Plastics forming a very large part of the everyday language is called rubbish and unlike many of the other junk that breaks down extremely limited. It is thus extremely difficult to get rid of it as it is usually gotten to hide it, for example by burying it with other refractory debris. Since, dorsal hollow nerve cord however, it simply waits, possibly eilífðarnóns, dorsal hollow nerve cord and folded down to nothing. "
I am currently reading a very funny book, The World Without dorsal hollow nerve cord us, by the award-winning American journalist Alan Weisman. This unusual and highly dorsal hollow nerve cord informative book considers Weisman imagine what would happen if a human would suddenly evaporate from the surface of the earth in one go, while leaving any trace.
What would take a long time for these signs disappear and what could possibly accept it as it is top of mind and takes him countless examples ranging from skyscrapers to nuclear power? With this inventive way he points out how much impact man has had on the environment over the years, not just their environment but actually Jordan, continents, oceans of atmosphere. Description of the transitions that man has caused is often striking, but also quite obvious how fleeting our existence is.
A fatal invention Weisman exceeds the breadth of the book, but I want to stay with the contents as the chapter in which he discusses one invention of man which is possibly one of the afdrifaríkasta of them all though we do not often realize it. This invention is a plastic. Plastics are remarkable materials that man has been able to create.
They are polymers (polymers) made mainly of carbon and hydrogen and have a truly comparable in nature eg in plant fibers and spider so some examples. Collagen fibers forming our hair and nails are also polymers. Characteristics of this natural dorsal hollow nerve cord polymer is a strong, often flexibility and durability.
When the output of a variety of products dorsal hollow nerve cord such as packaging for food or einangrunarhúð the rafvírum became increasingly more significant dorsal hollow nerve cord in the twentieth century (following the industrial revolution) the researchers sought to find new stuff that worked better. By examining dorsal hollow nerve cord natural polymers and mixing various materials together such as phenol and formaldehýðkeðjum and even adding gases like chlorine they could create a number of new materials including plexiglass, nylon, polyethylene plastic and polyurethane foam plastic and the media phenomenon of plastic film (also called edible casings) which is a mixture of polyvinyl dorsal hollow nerve cord chloride and polyethylene. Invention plastefnana course caused a revolution in the industry but also in everyday life especially dorsal hollow nerve cord with the introduction of all new packaging.
Plastic is rubbish, accompanied also a serious problem that is growing more pronounced and could become one of the most difficult environmental problems of the future. Plastics form a very large part of the everyday language is called rubbish and unlike many of the other junk that breaks dorsal hollow nerve cord down extremely limited. It is thus extremely difficult to get rid of it as it is usually gotten to hide it, for example by burying it with other refractory debris. Since, however, it simply waits, possibly eilífðarnóns, dorsal hollow nerve cord and folded down to nothing. The plastic debris is landfilled or ending come true is probably a minority dorsal hollow nerve cord of Ruslana. Most of the trash ends namely the largest storage capacity of the earth was.
Dustbin Sea in his book says Weisman of remarkable areas of the high seas. Due to the effects vinda- and stream systems formed large portals on designated areas meginhafanna. These areas are rarely dorsal hollow nerve cord visited by ships because they are turf fireplace. The area attracts even though the other travelers, namely trash. The amount of floating debris such as plastic bags, plastic bottles, buoys, Styrofoam and other plastics is such that the sailors who sail through it compare it with sailing through ice. Whence all this rubbish? It runs from the beaches, some have traveled long distances down the years from cities dorsal hollow nerve cord far inside the main countries. Only a fraction comes from ships and boats, the bulk from the Continent.
What happens then all this plastic that floats in the ocean. dorsal hollow nerve cord Sure, with time breaks it up into smaller units. Some of it sinks eg algae begins to grow on it. Other floats on the top surface and are carried by ocean currents dorsal hollow nerve cord until it may wash ashore on a distant shore. Who has not felt a little plastbút down a beach or on a sunny beach?
Effects of plastic in nature Although the plastic break down into ever smaller and smaller dorsal hollow nerve cord units then it probably never disappear dorsal hollow nerve cord completely because of the partnership are no natural processes that work on polymer molecular
