Ancient Rome and the United States today: Drying up of Natural Resources Facts 1) Deforestation was a major isdsue because romans used a lot of timber and the roots would hold dirt and soil in place causing erosion and unfertile soil. This caused soil depletion and loss of topsoil 2) Gas imitations are effecting the sun’s ultra violet rays causing plants to die and is increasingly getting worse 3) Marshlands were caused due to the erosion and spread malaria 4) Conquered people were discovered running into forests to escape the romans making the legionaries burn down all the forests 5) Without the timber and other resources industries were forced to move southwards causing more trade and more pirates 6) From 100 AD to 700 AD the average rainfall dropped from 3 ft to 1.6 ft causing droughts 7) Droughts caused even less crops to grow, making the worst starvation time from 100-700 AD 8) ‘without the resources Rome depended on imports 9) Silver was hard to come by making coins less in value, inflation 10)Raising temperatures and global warming in causing more droughts and natural gas to dry up 11) Since 2005 prices for corn and wheat have tripled while rice quintupled 12) Today because of overpopulation, there are less farming spaces, so there is less food. Soon they will be overworked an unable to be used at all 13) With all the new technology manufacturing much coal is being used up and there is none to spare 14) With all the pollution from gases it is making oxygen and many other gases acids not allowing us to find important, much needed gases 15) With new experiments to make life easier and more enjoyable, rare resources are being used, a large percent of experiments (headphones, powerful magnets, etc.) work well and are high in demand, but the materials are so rare that only so many can be made. 16)Wood from around mining areas were very popular but not abundant ar 17)Flooding caused harbors and ports to relocate costing them extra money that they did not have 18) Dredging is used to deepen water sources but destroys reefs and other water ecosystems 19) Strip mining

Solutions: Dredging: Strip-Mining []
 * Build artificial reefs to replaces destroyed ones
 * Reconstruct reefs
 * Slowly dredge that way there isn’t much harm
