first experiment studied the relationship between volume and pressure, while keeping the amount of the gas sample and temperature constant. Table 1 shows the atmospheric pressure recorded during the experiment. Atmospheric Pressure (mm Hg) 644.0 mm Hg Table 1. Atmospheric pressure was recorded using barometer in lab next door. This atmospheric pressure is of the lab next door, and is not the atmospheric pressure in which the experiment took place. Possible errors from this assumption will be discussed further in the Conclusions section on page 17. Table 2 represents the data values observed and recorded during the experiment. Volume (mL) Added weight…
Only floating microscopic organisms could life there because the planted doesn’t have a solid surface for life to develop. The free floating organisms would only be able to exist at the top of the clouds since the atmospheric pressure is more intense than Earths. The free floating organisms would have to be resistant to solar radiation though because the atmosphere is chaotic. Lastly the gravitational compression has heated areas close to the core over 18,000 degree Fahrenheit. With the…
In April of 2011, a supercell caused 363 tornadoes to touch down in several states within a four day period. On April 27th alone, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration confirmed over 200 tornadoes touched down that ranked between F-0 and F-6 on the Fujita scale. This record breaking phenomenon resulted in the deaths of 348 people with damages estimating over $11 billion dollars. Due to the magnitude of the outbreak, National Weather Services assigned several teams to not only…
includes reports of visibility, clouds, mountain obscuration, and VFR or IFR conditions. * The SIGWX are Prognostic charts available in graphical format. Issued very 12 hours available for 24 hours. They come in two different types as low level and high level. Low level charts cover from the surface to 24000 feet and high level covers from 25000-63000 feet. Low level displays things like front movements, pressure areas, freezing level, type of precipitation, and turbulence. High-level chart…
Hurricanes are benefitting from the effects of climate change. Humans should be concerned about how climate change intensifies natural disasters, more specifically hurricanes, for it affects our lives and the environment. Places susceptible to hurricanes, such as the Gulf of Mexico and Eastern Pacific Ocean, will be hit by more intense storms in the future if we are not mindful of how to slow down climate change. Hurricanes are formed when the moist air from the surface of oceans rise and…
Blocking highs Blocking highs are strong high-pressure systems that form further south of Australia than normal and remain almost motionless for a long amount of time. Blocking highs mostly affect southern Australia, they can take place during any time of the year and can last from several days - several weeks. Blocking highs can impact Australia in numerous ways depending on where they occur and how strong they are, they are able to produce hot and cold spells as well as wet conditions and dry…
will help any progress in the science . Denying that there is any ambiguity would not serve the scientist’s purpose as a scientist, though maybe it would as a politician. We cannot say that we know what the future holds for us. We have reasons to be uncertain, and reasons to examine these potential threats that exist on the horizon. But most of all, it is important to undertake this scientific endeavor in the name of science, welcoming doubt and distrust as a extremely important tool in the…
Learning About Aging with Mr. F Mr. F was born in the summer of 1927. Some of his earliest memories are of his mother’s stories about strangers putting money in his stroller during the Roaring 20’s. He began his life in a St. Louis suburb but then moved at a young age to a cottage with a barn in the country. His parents are West German. He remembers the cottage being drafty and cold during the winters and it had no bathroom. At school, he was the only child in the first grade. His family moved…
Rising sea levels are increasing the number of floods around the world. Moreover, the occurrence of droughts and desertification in large areas on Earth are having devastating consequences for human kind. All of these issues will become more difficult to manage if we do not act soon. This phenomena is known as global warming and climate change. Global warming is the increase in temperature throughout the world. It is caused by the increasing amount of carbon dioxide, methane, and other gases in…
withdrawing from. Additionally, there was a poster about the effects of music therapy on patients with dementia. It showed that there is a positive impact on anxiety, aggression, depression and cognitive ability in patients who are treated with the non-pharmacological method. Music therapy is cost-effective and you don’t need to be a trained musician or music therapist to use music medicine. The third poster was about hospital-acquired pressure ulcers and the use of alternating pressure air…
