Question description

Please respond to the following with 200 words and feedback .I am currently taking Environmental science and sustainability 170 and so far it seems as if the main idea that the class is to portray a broadened understanding of our world. Understanding the steps of cause and effect are very useful because it helps me to better recognize specific ripples. Our environment by definition is “everything around us, including the living and non-living things with which interact in a complex food web that connects one another” (Sustaining the earth, G. Miller and E. Spoolman). This literally means that any possible variable change associated with the Earth has ripple effects affiliated with some form of cause or action. Since there is such a vast amount of environmental data to examine it is very important to focus on specific effects then trace them to thier point of origin. One example of cause and effect from an environmental standpoint is a pebble being thrown into a stagnate pond. As soon as this pebble hits the still water a ripple effect is in motion. Granted this little rock is by no means catastrophic to humans once in the water, however we are not the only species in any given ecosystem. Biotic species such as certain algae’s or mosquitoes depend on very still bodies of water for their survival. The water when left undisturbed provides a safe hatchery for mosquito larvae but when agitated the larvae perish. If the larvae don’t hatch there will be less food in a biome's specific food web. In my opinion even if the initial cause or action is small the effects set in motion can very easily be amplified. This is why it is important for me to use cause and effect throughout life because it keeps me aware that even the smallest of causes have significant effects.
