Acid Rain

What gases are the major cause of acid rain?
Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides 

Where do most of these gases come from?
Burning fossil fuels 

Describe a few negative effects of acid rain
- It can be harmful to crayfish, clams, fish, and other aquatic fish  
- Effects more animals through the food chain such as birds

Fracking

No, I would not be okay with people fracking near me because you wouldn't be able to shower or cook because you don't have any water. You would also have to buy your own bottled water which would cost more money.

Fossil Fuel

1. Anaerobic decomposition and buried dead organisms

2. China, U.SA, India

3. United States, Russia, and China 

Breakwater

A breakwater is a offshore structure made to protect harbors and marinas from waves. Protects from wave erosion. It is made by rocks and ruble then big rocks so it doesn't wash away.

The negative effects of a breakwater is that the protection the walls gives is limited.

Contour Plowing

Contour Plowing allows the soil to absorbs the rain rather then have it wash away. The contour plowing tills the soil.
