### alteration:

Damage
* Most damage occurs at night when the cutworms emerge from just beneath the soil surface.
* Most damage occurs during the warm summer months when carpenter ants are most active
  - warm months when carpenter ants are most active
* Some damage also occurs from growth of sooty mold on the honeydew the insects produce.
* Some damage is caused by fungal diseases
  - plant diseases
  - mammals
* also is wreaked by the other toxin, an enzyme that destroys tissue by breaking down protein
  - occurs to the blood vessels in the lungs that 'collect' the oxygen
  - show up in land animals, affecting their behavior and feeding patterns
* are the economic, property or health-related losses caused by the accident.
* arises from the complete absorption of the energy of the alpha particle into tissue.
* can also occur when birds come in and scratch at the lawn surface looking for larvae to eat
  - develop very quickly and the mites can kill or seriously stunt the growth of plants
  - have long term effects on the individual cell and potentially on the whole organism
* can occur even in people who have no history of liver disease
  - in the brain, kidneys, and heart
  - reduce photosynthetic ability by destruction of leaf surfaces
  - result in scarring, which reduces the ability of the lung to absorb oxygen
* caused by a heart attack can weaken and stretch one of the walls of the heart chambers
  - aphids is the result of their sucking feeding
  - fungi and other microorganisms is irreversible
  - grasshoppers appears as irregular holes at the edge of plant leaves
  - leafhoppers includes stunting, browning of leaves, and reduced vigor
  - pear leaf midge infestations can take a number of forms
  - poor nutrition is cumulative and often begins with poor food habits in childhood
  - radiation therapy affects the tissues for the rest of the patient's life
  - the diseases can lead to cell mutation and cancer
  - wood mice to crops is sporadic, usually when their natural food is scarce
* causes abnormal results
  - impairment
  - malfunctions
  - plumb problems
* decreases functions.
* depends on locations
  - types
* done by the sun can also lead to skin cancer.
* first becomes apparent when plants lose their healthy appearance and wilt.
* generally occurs when exotic species invade new territory.
* happens when wind gets inside a home through a broken window, door, or damaged roof.
* has appearances
  - distinctive appearances
  - negative effects
* has significant effects
* includes destruction
  - deterioration
* involves erosion
  - shoreline erosion
* is an occurrence
  - casualties
* is caused by a lifetime of sun exposure

  - when the worm feeds in the fruit
  - compensation
  - done by pigs
  - due both to cell death following infection and to inflammation
  - explained in terms of geological environment
  - greater in plants that are infested early in their growth
  - most severe when plants are growing under optimal conditions
  - related to degree of infestation by the Hessian fly larvae
  - worse when plants are under stress such as during droughty periods
* leads to activations
  - chemical modification
  - defects
  - health problems
  - reductions
  - scars
  - serious problems
* loss or harm resulting from injury to a person, property or reputation.
* occurs during periods
  - year periods
* occurs in adjacent areas
  - the walls of the coronary arteries, which are the arteries that go to the heart
  - on seedlings
  - over time
  - to soft body tissues, such as tendons and nerves
  - when hikers trample surface vegetation or communities of organisms beyond recovery
* occurs when the brain's blood supply is interrupted
  - females make slits in branches and twigs in which to deposit the eggs
  - forces exceed the structural limits of a muscle, bone or connective tissue
  - insects inject a toxin as they feed
  - testis is forcefully compressed against the pubic bones
* reduces ability.
* refers to the effect of activities of the geese.
* removing the bark is damage to the trunk of the tree, suggesting damage to the tree.
* results from activities
  - attacks
  - deficiencies
  - heavy exposure
  - iodine deficiencies
  - lamprey attacks
* usually causes death to branches and ruins the appearance of shrubs or trees.
* wills have effects
  - ripple effects
+ 2007 Atlantic hurricane season, Storms, Hurricane Humberto
  * Three hours later it had strengthened sufficiently to be named Tropical Storm Humberto. It rapidly became a hurricane until dissipating over North Carolina. Damage is at a half a billion dollars.
  * Damage is reported on both sides of the border.
+ Hurricane Boris (1996): Hurricanes in Mexico :: East Pacific hurricanes
  * During the overnight hours, the depression became Tropical Storm Boris. Shortly thereafter, Boris rapidly strengthened into a hurricane. It rapidly weakened and dissipated on July 1. Boris caused heavy flooding in southern Mexico. Ten deaths were reported. Damage is unknown.
