讀書時的舊文章001 - 解釋工業化對環境的影響 (酸雨和溫室效應)

21-1-2017

讀書果陣寫過好多文章,都係為左交功課同考試,而且果陣能力唔高,好多都寫到好表面,同埋用詞簡淺,早幾日比我係櫃底搵到,我決定打上黎分享下~~

第一篇係來我讀ASSO果陣應用社會科學入面既<Science, Technology and Society>

題目係: While industrialization has contributed to technological advancement in society, it has also brought some negative consequences. Explain the negative environmental impacts of acid rain and global warming.




Nowadays, human enjoy the life with high technology since the industrialization, but it voids much carbon dioxide at the same time. Acid rain means natural precipitation is acidic (伍旭升, 2002, p.37), and global warming is the increasing temperature of the surface of the Earth (p.45), they are both caused by the industrialization. While the industrialization improves technology in society, it brings some bad impacts to environment.

First, acid rain would destroy the forests and buildings, as the acidity of acid rain are sourer than normal Water. When acid rain falls on the floor, it decreases the pH of soil. Acid rain slow down the decomposing of organic compound, plants are difficult to get nutrition, and the plants would die because of lacking of nutrition (王革華, 2005, p.122). On the other hand, acid rain would destroy buildings too. It would corrode metals, leathers, concretes, etc., the speed of corrode is faster than something which do not affected by acid rain two to five times (伍旭升, 2002, p.41), so something like monuments, bridges and rail would be damaged or rust very fast (王革華, 2005, p.122). All in all, forests and buildings would be destroyed by acid rain because of the strong acidity.

Second, global warming would kill many animals. Since global warming increases the temperature of the Earth, ice in the South Pole and the North Pole is dissolving, then animals which live in those Pole cannot live and breed. For example, polar bear which live in the North Pole, if there is not enough ice for them to rest; they cannot catch enough fish enough power, so Polar bear would become extinct due to global warming (Andy, 2002, para.1). Besides, dissolving of ice would lead to increasing of sea level. When the sea level increases, many countries along the coast would be submerged, therefore, fewer places for animals to live because it is not appropriate to all of animals to live in highlands (伍旭升, 2002, p.47). Overall, many animals would be killed by global warming.

Third, food would be less and noxious. There are many different noxious substances in acid rain, which included cadmium, lead, mercury, etc. (伍旭升, 2002, p.40). When those rain fell into river or ocean, it would kill plankton and reduce the food source of fish (王革華, 2005, p.122); so much fish will die because of that reason. Moreover, if people use that water plant or acid rain fall on vegetable naturally, those vegetables will absorb noxious substances, and then it will cause harm to animals (伍旭升, 2002, p.40). When animals ate other animals which are noxious, then the animals would sick or die. Acid rain may also permeate into under water (王革華, 2005, p.123), and then some animals and insects which live under the ground would be affected. Therefore, it will have less food which is appropriate to animals.

Fourth, acid rain and global warming would worsen the health of animals. Since food would be noxious, it would affect their health after they ate the food. Furthermore, when there is acid rain, animals breathe with those noxious substances which suffuse in the air, their lungs would be destroyed and they may die (王革華, 2005, p.122). on the other hand, global warming leads to pandemic. As the Earth become warm, germs are easier to growth up, and many animals will sick because their immunity against germs is affected by change of temperature (P.131). Also, the high temperature may kill animals directly. Many animals cannot endure high temperature; they may get heatstroke or die because of heat wave (P.131). Overall, health of animals will be worsening because of acid rain and global warming.

In conclusion, there are many negative environmental impacts of acid rain and global warming since the industrialization. It destroys buildings and pollutes the water and food, which means that it would worsen the health of human and animals. Also, many animals lost their lives because of the increasing of temperature. Therefore, people should reduce the greenhouse gases to protect the environment.

今日既評論:

1. 連接詞故意用較長的字
2. REFERENCES 不夠多又不夠科學性
3. 文章結構繁複, 不夠簡潔
4. 沒有新論點, 只是從REFERENCES 中抄改
5. GLOBAL WARMING 不是問題, 所以文章前設有問題
6. 文法問題
