This week Brazil asked countries like Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Indonesia and Colombia to unite and have singer say toward others in the world.
This was made intentionally in preparation of the United Nations Climate Change Conference which is going to take place on 6th of November this year in Sharm El Sheikh of Egypt.
While this is happening, paleontologists say from about 360 million years ago seed plant spread into different ecosystem and become source of food for different olden animals, birds and insects.
Meanwhile the second generation of seed plants appeared about 340 million years ago and triggered the flourishing of the ancient forests in different parts of the world
Meanwhile with an area which covers more than 364,900 square miles or 945,087 square kilometers, the United Republic of Tanzania is the largest country in East Africa.
It is estimated that big water bodies such as lake Eyasi, Natron, Rukwa, Nyasa, Tanganyika, Victory and others occupy about 59,050 square kilometers leaving 886,037 square kilometers with dry land for people and other land dwelling creatures.
With this huge area which is larger than the rest of other East African countries combined together, Tanzania has portioned more than 118,736. 56 square kilometers for game reserves and more than 56,698.80 square kilometers for national parks.
This is a tremendous dedication which enables Tanzania to be a leading example in the world when we talk of conservation of flora and fauna on this terrestrial planet full of air.
Air is a mixture of various invisible gases that circulate in the atmosphere, these gases include oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen.
Humans can feel air, but air is an invisible substance, takes up space, exists in a gaseous state, it has no smell or color and air has weight.
Air is very important in the environment and for living things, so we have to take care of the environment. The importance of air is seen in the life of organisms.
Take example of combustion of things, pollination, electricity generation, drying of things, and transport of sound waves, rising and floating of things.
Without the presence of air we cannot fill tires or balloons of all atmospheric vapor which turns into rain and equalizing the temperature on Earth depends on availability of air.
All organisms including animals and plants depend on the oxygen present in the air to survive. A germinating seed needs oxygen gas to burn stored food and produce energy that enables sprouting and growth.
Also, plants use carbon dioxide found in the air to synthesize their food. In animals, oxygen is carried in the blood and carried to the cells. Oxygen in the cells helps the conversion of food into energy for the body.
Plants are the main supplier of food for insects, birds and animals while trees, bushes and grasses form a very big air filter which take out carbon dioxide to create conducive environment for other creatures to thrive on the planet Earth from about 450 million years ago.
That happens since the first land plant evolved and thrived following advancement of the ancient photosynthesis process. Read More…
