What is a food chain?
How do they work?
Draw one.
Some ecologists now refer to food chains as food webs.
What do you think they mean by that?
Have you ever done something and been completely shocked by
the unintended result of your actions? Explain.

How does the following quote relate to the TC Boyle story?
“Unlike many other laws, the laws of nature are all strictly enforced.”
Ashleigh Brilliant

We dont believe this quote relates to what was said in TC Boyles story because many of our laws arent inforced. for example you could get pulled over and talk your way out of it so our laws arent inforced. Nature should be inforced because it affects our growth of trees, oxygen, water, animals and our future.

ReplyDeleteMan cannot control nature. Trying to manipulate nature can cause a chain reaction which can have a negative impact on the environment and on the people living in that environment.

The no matter what theres always going to be something different that is going to affect us. For example the laws of nature are always going to happen even though we try to change them.

Everything in nature is there for a reason if you intrude just one part of it, it can ruin the entire system. You cannot stop the inevitable, no matter how much you try and fix it. Ashleigh Brilliant’s quote refers to this.
ReplyDeleteTrying to alter the forces of nature can have serious consequences. For instance if you try and cut down trees, you're altering nature and can mess up the Ecosystem. Watching Captain Planet helps.

ReplyDeletethe laws of nature are strictly enforced as opposed to other laws because:
1. nature is something we can not control.
2. scientist propose theories which become more credible as more people believe them.
3. you can not stop a cat from eating a rat because its in their food chain.
4. you can't stop a gecko from eating flies because flies are apart of their diet.
well everything has a couse and effect, for example, there a bunch of flies in this world but there are several animal that eat flies as well, like spiders,lizards, birds, and several other animals. Things are made for a reason and there is a result on why things are the way they are, by with we humans should not try to change the laws of nature.
ReplyDeleteif we do so there are consequences that we could end up regretting.

the fact that humans have no control over the laws of nature but the things that we do effect nature and things that we dont expect happen this is shown fully in the excerpt by TC Boyle

The following quote relate to the TC BOYLE story because they went there to solve one problem but that one problem expand to too many problems. And it went from bugs to cats and then even killing some humans. And we feel that if that country would have set/gave them some rules and laws that it wouldn't have effected as bad as it did.
& Leticia said. . ."Unlike many other laws, the laws of nature are all strictly enforced" relates to the TC Boyle story because the laws of nature all became laws because of natural instincts and everything that happens in nature happens because of something or someone else. For example, you can get away with not wearing a seat-belt or speeding and it wont affect anyone as long as you don't get caught because someone made the law, it isn't just a law of nature. If you cut down a tree, that might affect animals that hide there, live there, get shade from there, and feed from there. That one tree might cause animals to die, which could affect our natural state of living as humans because one tree can lead to one animal and that animal could be a key point of how humans survive.
ReplyDeleteThe laws of nature are impossible to break. Unlike the laws we have and follow, yet we have the option not to do so. With laws of nature being set in stone and having no alternatives, we, as part of nature, must also abide by these laws.

There is nothing that you can change from nature.
