In all countries, many practical observation and theoretical studies are devoted on the soil and water erosion. However, there are still significant shortcoming in theoretical and experimental parts due to the underestimation of its physical causes and excessive enthusiasm of "empirical formulas", which is not often taken into account the elementary physical conditions in erosion processes, so the responses are not very accurate. There is also other useful model which is called GIS; the model is very powerful to e...

Today, the need for resources is growing based on the replacement of forest areas by areas used for economic and agricultural activities. The present study means to identify the changes in land use cover and forest areas between the changes made by the economic activities and aridity indexes, characterized by high temperatures and low quantities of precipitations in Southwestern Romania. This region is affected by high temperatures and low precipitations in July and August, growing urban areas and necessity for ag...

Kazakhstan has rich reserves of copper. Stratiform copper sandstones and copper-porphyry deposits are the main industrial types of copper ore: The largest deposit of copper sandstones is Zhezkazgan (Central Kazakhstan), and Aktogay is a large deposit of copper-porphyry type (east Kazakhstan). This article describes these two deposits. The Republic of Kazakhstan is one of the world's most important provinces on reserves of copper. In Kazakhstan, there are large deposits of copper, as well as mining companies and st...

The erosion of the soil is characterized for the disaggregation and transport of the superficial material, promoted by the hydric or eolic action, leading to the impoverishment of the soil, and in extreme cases to the desertification. This process is complex and depends on a multiplicity of factors that differ in the time and space, whose universality and simultaneous particularities, becomes it difficult to equate and to quantify. Modeling can provide a quantitative and consistent approach to estimate soil erosio...

Ensuring stability of economic development, an energy and ecological safety is connected with increase in energy efficiency and decrease in power consumption of economy. The main indicator of resource intensity is power consumption. power consumption characterizes amounts of an energy consumption and fuel on the basic and auxiliary engineering procedures of production of products, performance of works, rendering services based on the set technological system. The Russian economy is one of the most power-intensive ...
