different ways by gas exchange. For example, with chronic respiratory conditions such as COPD it causes respiratory acidosis which is essentially an increase in carbonic acid and a decrease in pH. Then the opposite would be when you breathe off too much carbon dioxide, this causes respiratory alkalosis because it is a decrease in carbonic acid and an increases in pH. The next interrelated concept is perfusion;…

Oil is usually found deep under ground, but the greater Los Angeles area up through the Santa Barbara area is one of a few places in the world where oil is not just close to the surface, it is on the surface, bubbling in cold pits of bitumen, also known as asphalt and tar. This asphaltum has been important to humans for as long as they have lived in the region. In the past it was primarily used to waterproof boats, water carriers, and cooking vessels or as an adhesive. Now, of course we use…

Did you know that in 2016, 81.6% of CO2 emissions were from human activities? These large amounts of carbon emitted are used to do many things, but most of them are bad. The one I will be talking about is wildfires since it is impacted by climate change in a huge way. Wildfires are large, destructive fires that are started then spread fast over trees and brush. Three ways wildfires are affected by humans are: burning fossil fuels, leaving campfires unattended, and leaving cigarettes lit. In…

Carbonation is another type of chemical weathering. Carbonation is the mixing of water with carbon dioxide to make carbonic acid. This type of weathering is important in the formation of caves. Dissolved carbon dioxide in rainwater or in moist air forms carbonic acid, and this acid reacts with minerals in rocks. chemical weathering tends to be different sorts of chemicals mixed together to form a material. Rust is a good example of what chemical weathering can do. With an increase in…

things a lot easier than doing it by hand. But there are negative effects that gasoline engines have on people and the Earth. An effect from GEE (gasoline engine emissions) is the increase of red blood cells. This is caused by exposure to 13-107 ppm carbon monoxide. There is minor irritation, which are things that all impair the ability to live life healthy. Lung lavage cell counts are also effected by the exposure to gasoline engine exhaust fumes. When exposed to gasoline engine exhaust fumes…

Description Have you experienced heartburn? Do you like cooking and baking? Have you encountered stubborn stains? If you answered yes to any of these, then sodium bicarbonate is your friend. In this lesson, we will discuss sodium bicarbonate and its many uses. !!!What is Sodium Bicarbonate? Sodium bicarbonate, commonly known as ‘’baking soda’’, is a staple in the kitchen. It is a must-have ingredient if you love baking cookies and other sweets. It is also very useful in deodorizing your…

odorless and colorless reactive gas, serves as an essential component of life. Aside from the commonly heard gaseous necessities, natural gas has also proven to equally and indirectly impact daily activities. It is comprised of numerous hydrogen and carbon containing compounds. Commonly referred to as methane, ethane, propane etc., natural gas is utilized during regular household tasks such as dinner preparation through means of a stovetop. Although little attention has been given to the…

The earth is reliant on various reproductive biochemical cycles, to maintain balanced and regulated conditions on earth and within the atmosphere (Name, date). These cycles include the carbon, nitrogen and hydrological cycles. These cycles among others, bring with them various geological, chemical, physical and biological processes (name, date). All these cycles are interconnected; matter within them is continually cycled between biotic and abiotic parts of the environment (name, date). Without…

Due to the carbon dioxide levels increasing over time, the acidification of the ocean has become much stronger. Behavior patterns are not the only thing changing because of the rising temperatures; the migration patterns are changing as well. I chose to analyze a marine science article published by Inside Science News. The article, “Ocean Acidification May Change How Sharks Behave,” was based on a study that was trying to prove how swimming patterns and temperature changes would affect a shark’s…

tons of carbon to the atmosphere annually than would be produced by conventional oil,” (“Keystone Pipeline Pros, Cons and Steps to a Final Decision”) Fossil fuels make up most of the world’s energy for electricity and fuel to specify crude oil, coal, and natural gas, each one is different in efficiency, availability, and byproducts, and they are same because they are all burn to get to the energy out and the main byproduct is carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. (Fischer, Douglas) The more carbon…
