In this article it talks about the two earthquakes that just hit Mexico. I found it interesting how much damage 7.1 magnitude earthquake can do, by killing more than 200 people and destroying many buildings and houses making it look like a hurricane just wen through. These relates to environmental science because it involves part of what we are learning right now and by the destruction it is hurting the environment. Now people in Mexico have lost there houses, belongings, etc. There drinking water cold have bacteria and other things in it too. These are just two of the ways how the earthquake hurt the environment in Mexico.

    Are any other countries doing anything to help them recover? Are they getting water from somewhere else or treating the water with something to kill the bacteria?

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
