In constant exploration, people have discovered things that should not exist. With the continuous development of human society, we have gradually changed the ecological environment of the earth, and this change has also brought many influences to the earth, such as climate warming and environmental pollution, which we often say now. With the gradual influence of these problems, even some areas far away from human beings, such as the deep sea, have constantly appeared creatures that should not exist. With the appearance of these things one after another, it can be said that it has sounded the alarm for protecting the environment. Maintain the ecological development of the earth.
Overseas Philippine Ocean Research Group has investigated the Philippine Trench, which is the third deepest sea in the world. When the survey ship went deep into the seabed to a depth of 10540 meters, people found a lot of plastic garbage on the seabed, including clothes, toys, plastic bags and so on. After seeing this scene, researchers have repeatedly marveled at the great harm that human beings have done to the ocean, even the deep sea below 10,000 meters has not been spared, with mixed feelings. In other words, the amount and types of plastic waste found at the depth of 10,000 meters in the ocean are far beyond imagination, and researchers use "supermarkets" to describe the scene before them.
In fact, if there were no human influence, there would be no plastic garbage and other items in the depths of the ocean. However, with the continuous use of plastic products and littering, these garbage particles will enter the river with groundwater and storms, and finally flow to the sea. According to scientific reports, more than10 million tons of plastic waste enter the ocean every year. Moreover, most of these plastic wastes flowing into the sea are buried in the deep sea, and only about 1% of plastic wastes float on the sea surface. The impact of plastic waste we throw into the ocean is mainly concentrated in the deep sea. Even if you want to get rid of the deep-sea plastic garbage, there is nothing you can do.
These wastes sink into the depths of the ocean. It seems that there is a lot less plastic waste, which also reduces the pressure and difficulty of handling and discharging plastic waste, but it is not that simple. Even in the deep sea, there will be animals, and these deep-sea creatures may swallow these plastic wastes by mistake, leading to problems and even death of these marine creatures. In addition, plastic garbage floating on the sea or shallow sea, such as fishing nets and plastic bottles, will entangle marine life, and the bottles will be stuck, which will directly affect their mobility and even lead to some creatures swallowing by mistake, thus dying.
Marine garbage like this will not only affect the decline of animals' predation ability and escape ability, but also affect their growth. Now we may see many examples from the internet, such as turtles, dolphins, whales and other animals being entangled in plastic garbage, like humans asking for help, whales being entangled in fishing nets, and turtles being deeply stuck in their noses by nails. Everyone looks so distressing, and the culprit comes from human beings. Then we can imagine that when the creatures in the ocean swallow these plastic wastes and then come to us through the food chain, then we will be the last to be affected.
In addition to things that should not exist in the deep seabed, these plastic particles were also found on Mount Everest, the highest peak in China. According to some scientific reports, some plastic particles were found in the samples of snow and water collected from Mount Everest. These plastic fragments include polyester, acrylic acid, nylon and polypropylene. And other harmful substances. If plastic particles appear in the deep sea, we can understand, because these particles can flow into the sea through rivers, groundwater and so on. But Mount Everest is thousands of meters away, how did these plastic particles appear on the summit?
This problem is laborious, but for this problem, researchers guess that Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world. There are also many people who come to climb the mountain. Then some climbers may leave rubbish when climbing Mount Everest, resulting in polyester, acrylic, nylon and polypropylene, and plastic particles may come from discarded clothes or climbing ropes of climbers.
Although plastic particles were found on Mount Qomolangma, the number was small. Of course, not many people can reach Mount Everest, so the pollution to Mount Everest is not very serious. Nevertheless, we still have to protect the environment of Mount Everest.
According to these conditions and various signs, the earth has indeed undergone some subtle changes under the influence of us humans, such as the industrial development of mankind. Climate warming leads to the accelerated melting of global glaciers, and also makes some species face difficulties due to habitat destruction. Imagine that if mankind continues to develop in this way, it will certainly destroy the earth's environment and lead to the rising temperature of the earth. The question is, will the earth go to destruction in the future?
Judging from the current situation, we haven't seen the signs of the destruction of the earth, but the earth has sounded the alarm for human beings to protect it in various forms. For many years, we have been using various measures to mitigate and control climate warming as much as possible. We should reduce the discharge of plastic waste. Protecting the earth is not empty talk, but requires us to persist in protecting the environment. We should start with small things, and everyone should do it to protect the environment. It was a major event that was slowly improving for the earth, such as the arrival of the epidemic, the shutdown of Indian factories, and the Huaihe River, which is usually the most polluted, which became a reality during the shutdown. It can be seen that as long as we insist on protecting the environment. Then the earth wouldn't be like this.
