Germany is responsible for causing the two World Wars | How ?

World War-I : Support Austrian aggression, Balkan crisis, Morocco crisis, militarisation etc. World War-II : Invasion into Czech and Poland, Violation of Treaty of Versailles, Guns for butter, steel pacts etc. Colonial expansionism was a factor in that war but all of the major powers again were guilty of that. World War-II they definitely had a major amount of blame for, but not all of it. The way the winners of World WarI treated defeated Germany did allot to set the stage for the hate and feeling of need for vengeance to take hold. You need look no further for proof of this than to note that when Hitler defeated France in 1940, he had the original train car used in Versailles where they Germans were made to surrender to the allies used again to have the French have a taste of the humiliation that they were put through. I think Germany was not responsible at all for World War-I.  They were allied with Austria, and when Austria invaded Serbia, England and France etc. Declared war i...

mountain ecosystem and the negative impact of development and tourism

Image
Mountains are an important source of water, energy and biological diversity. Furthermore, they are a source of key resources such as minerals, forest products and agricultural products and of recreation. As a major ecosystem representing the complex and interrelated ecology of our planet, mountain environments are essential to the survival of the global ecosystem. Mountain ecosystems are, however, rapidly changing.  Developmental initiatives and Tourism in Mountains Adverse Impact:  • Dams and Roads: Dams and roads can be hazardous, if they are not properly constructed and managed. Disasters in mountains, and the forces that trigger them, affect larger areas, sometimes entire watersheds or river systems.  • Mining: The forces that shaped the world’s mountains also made them rich in minerals and metals, including gold, copper, iron, silver and zinc. Owing to increasing demand, mines are now being opened even in remote mountain areas, particularly in developing countries....

Coastal sand mining and the impact of sand mining along the Indian coasts

Image
United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has released a report, ‘Sand and Sustainability: Finding new solutions for environmental governance of global sand resources’, that highlights the problem of sand being extracted at rates exceeding natural replenishment rates. Coastal sand mining poses one of the biggest threats to our environment:  •While 85% to 90% of global sand demand is met from quarries, and sand and gravel pits, 10% to 15% extracted from rivers and seashores is a severe concern due to the environmental and social impacts.  •Their extraction often results in river and coastal erosion and threats to freshwater and marine fisheries and aquatic ecosystems, instability of river banks leading to increased flooding, and lowering of groundwater levels.  •The UNEP report notes that China and India head the list of critical hotspots for sand extraction impacts in rivers, lakes and coastlines.  •As per the report, most large rivers of the world have lost betwee...

ocean currents and their impacts on marine life and coastal environment

Image
Its physical characteristics like temperature, salinity, density and the external forces like the sun, the moon and the winds influence the movement of ocean water. Ocean currents are the continuous flow of huge amount of water in a definite direction. Water moves ahead from one place to another place through ocean currents. Ocean currents have direct impact on the climate and economy of the region.  Ocean currents and water masses differ in their impacts on marine life and the coastal environment in different ways:  • Impact on biodiversity:  The physical parameters of water masses are essential because they structure the water masses and determine the various habitats that provide the environmental conditions required for marine life.  These conditions influence the production and the growth of plankton and fish species. The dispersion and dwelling of larvae for many benthic and pelagic species depend on hydro-graphical factors. They also play an important role for...
