Ocean acidification is “the decline in seawater’s pH” (DeCarlo 33) due to rising levels of CO2 in the atmosphere. The excess CO2 dissolves in the ocean and becomes corrosive carbonic acid. Corals and other shell-producing organisms rely on calcium carbonate in the ocean to produce new shell, but if the ocean…

Analysis of NASA Article The first article I chose to analyze is titled “NASA STUDYING 2015 El Nino As Never Before,” by Kasha Patel. The article explains what the weather pattern known as El Nino is, the effects it has on the climate, why NASA wants to study it, and how NASA plans on studying it. Now NASA has advanced satellites that can monitor more aspects of the weather pattern such as sea level and sea surface temperature. The reason NASA is so interested in the weather pattern this year…

Equilibrium Paper There are multiple ingredients used to make baked goods rise; baking powder and baking soda are among them. The difference between single and double-acting baking powders is simple. Single-acting releases the carbon dioxide bubbles when mixed with a liquid ingredient and double-acting soda releases bubbles when the baked item is placed in heat. Baking soda and baking powder are remarkably similar, yet there are distinct differences. One is that baking soda is a strong base,…

1. Discuss three types of barriers to vertebrate distribution and give an example of each. (1) Physicalbarriers: This one of the barriers that the vertebrates usually encounter during their life. Land is one of the main factors that contributes to physical barrier since some of the species are constrained in specified geographic factor and also some physical conditions. Water is also another constrain i.e. for other species get constrained. The type of topography and also the soil type is of…

Our body needs to have an equilibrium in order to function properly. The process that is known to stabilize and regulate our body to function properly is called homeostasis. The homeostatic mechanism has three components: the receptor, the control center and the effector. Receptors are one of the components that provide the information of the sudden fluctuation in the body, then they transmit a signal from the nerves to the control center. The control center processes that information and…
