Resources

-My understanding of the environment is for example a water dam is defined as a barrier or structure across a stream, river or waterway to confine and then control the flow of water. “adaptive management” to maximise the benefits of a dam, while paying attention to and minimising environmental impacts over time. This can be done, for example, by using turbines that are more efficient or fish friendly, or by lowering the height of dams.


Environment 

-My understanding of the environment provides us and the wildlife with a home. Like squirrels in trees and bears in caves. To use environment in a sentence it’ll be“the environment has changed because of global warming”.


Sustainability 

-My understanding of sustainability is meeting our own needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In addition to natural resources, we also need social resources.

Papatuanuku

 We are stroking, caressing the spine of the land

We are massaging the ricked back of the land

With our sore but every-love feet: Hell, she loves it!

Squirming, the land wriggles in delight 

We love her

Scoliosis

Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that most often is diagnosed in adolescents. While scoliosis can occur in people with conditions such as muscular dystrophy, the cause of most childhood scoliosis is unknown. Most cases of scoliosis are mild, but some curves worsen as children grow.

the primary age of onset for scoliosis is 10-15 years old, occurring equally among both genders. This can also be past down through your family. I’ve researched and found online that “Strong evidence suggests that scoliosis runs in families. Nearly a third of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis have a family history of the condition, and first-degree relatives of scoliosis patients have an 11 percent chance of developing it themselves”
