water fantastic troubles every 12 months. due to manure management troubles (EPA, 2001). This contamination may be because of surface discharges or different kinds of discharges. surface discharges may be due to heavy storms or floods that purpose garage lagoons to overfill, walking off into nearby our bodies of water. Contaminants can also portable over land or through surface drainage systems to close by our bodies of water, be discharged thru artificial ditches or flushing structures locate…

Surfactant Agents I. Definitions a. Surfactant: A surface-active agent that lowers surface tension i. Examples 1. soap 2. detergent b. Surface Tension: Force caused by attraction between like molecules that occurs at liquid-gas interfaces and that holds the liquid surface intact i. Units of Measure: dynes/centimeter (dyn/cm) 1. the force required to cause a 1 cm rupture in the surface film ii. a droplet forms because a liquid’s molecules are more attracted to each other than the surrounding…

they discussed the basics of what a watershed is, who came up with this concept and why, that watersheds are everywhere, and activities that can harm watersheds. A watershed is a unit of land where all the water eventually drains, whether above the surface or below, to a common place or point that is downslope. This common place can be the junction with a larger stream or river, a lake, or reservoir, or an ocean. This water starts off as precipitation and some is lost to evaporation and…

A mudflow is a flowing mixture of debris and water, usually moving down a channel. Flow is divided into categories, depending on the amounts of water involved. Slump occurs when a mass of regolith slides over or creates a concave surface (one shaped like the inside of a bowl). The result is the formation of a small, crescent shaped cliff, known as a scarp, at the upper end. Soil flow takes place at the bottom end of the slump. One is likely to see slumps in any place where forces…

THE DIMENSIONS OF POLLUTIONS AND RESOURCES DEPLETION. ABSTRACT In this topic we will look at the dimensions of pollution and resources depletion. For pollution we will get to know the definition of pollution. Rather than that, we will know each types of pollution and each definition of this. Then we will look further into the cause, effect and solution for each pollution in this topic. Lastly we will discuss about the resources depletion effect occur by human activity. INTRODUCTION Environmental…

Agriculture covers thirty-eight percent of Earth’s land surface, but the land has continually been turned into cropland as the world’s population steadily increases (Brennan, Withgott pg. 225). Food is a necessity to human survival, however, agriculture, specifically industrial agriculture has caused multiple environmental impacts. Compared to the other land uses, agriculture causes the most harm to the planet due to the use of inorganic fertilizers, machinery, irrigation, pesticides,…

Phosphorus is an essential nutrient to all forms of life and is required for building DNA, RNA and amino acids (Paytan, 2011). Phosphorus is often a limiting nutrient in ecosystems, along with nitrogen, and therefore its abundance determines the amount of primary production that can occur within a system (Schindler, 1971). The two main types of phosphorus are inorganic phosphate minerals, such as calcium phosphate rock that is mined for fertilizer, and organic compounds containing phosphorus…

surface area vs rate of time Introduction: In the investigation an experiment is conducted investigate if the breaking of alka seltzer into ½, ¼ and none effect the time it dissolves. The context of the problem is the time it dissolves to have the medicine show its effect. This problem exist in real life as people take alka seltzer to relief heartburn, acid digestion and stomach aches. This experiment would benefit society because it informs the society the better way of consuming medicine or…

"Stormwater a sloppy slope" by: Ethan Crowe When you think of rain you think of a saving grace from the harsh heat of summer, or you might think of a fun time to play around outside. Sadly that time might come to an end. Storm water in the past might have been safe and slightly clean in the past but nowadays it causes many problems in our society. This paper will explain how and why it harms this society and how to prevent it. One of the main reasons storm water is harmful is the air…

Number One. The prompt was to compare the results of pennies dropped in water, versus the result of pennies being dropped into milk, both at 100 mL. The main purpose of this lab was to further discuss more scientific parts of this lab, such as the surface tension when the cylinder was close to overflowing for both the milk and water. Before performing this lab, my group and I created a hypothesis to reflect upon and to state what we believed would dictate the results. The hypothesis stated that…
