Poisoned Waters Scene Analysis

In the Lorax, the Once-ler chooses to cut down all of the Truffula trees to make them in Thneeds, which is a type of clothing. He then adds a factory as well which causes pollution into the air and water and destroys the forest. All of the pollution in the atmosphere and the trees getting cut down kill natural habitats of animals and leads to the loss of other important ecological factors. They also dump a bunch of stuff into the water that causes a lot of pollution to waters, which relates to the video Poisoned Waters. Towards the end of the show, the fish end up dying because of the contaminated water. In relation to the movie, we also watched a video called Poisoned Waters. It talks a lot about agriculture and how pollutants and toxins from modern everyday life are being found in

Biosphere is made up of the parts of Earth where life exists. The biosphere extends from the deepest root systems of trees, to the dark environment of ocean trenches, to lush rain forests and high mountaintops. Both videos can relate to that for sure because the biosphere is affected by the pollution and containments that the trees and poisonous water provides. The atmosphere is part of the biosphere, and nitrogen gas makes up about 78% of the atmosphere. Plants cannot use nitrogen gas, so nitrogen is a limiting factor in this case. With all of this, the nitrogen cycle is created. It shows how nitrogen gas is converted to nitrate in the atmosphere by lightning, meteor trails, or cosmic radiation, and the ammonium in soil is converted to nitrate by nitrifying bacteria. In regards to human activities, nitrogen is added to fertilizers, and runoff that contains nitrogen also contributes to eutrophication. This all relates back to both of the videos because the nitrogen cycle is constantly happening. All of the little things that happen come together and combine, and all of the traveling nitrogen in the air, water, and soil keep continuously
