It was hazardous because the buildings were poorly made due to a conflagration and having to rebuild them fast and because they were so poorly made with a strong wind some buildings would collapse. It was also so hazardous because in…

Effect of pH change on Douglas Fir trees Question: Does the acidity of rain affect a douglas fir tree? Hypothesis: If we spray 3 separate douglas fir branches with 3 different pH types of liquid; pH 7, pH 6.8, pH 4, then the branch sprayed with pH 4 water will loose/brown the needles the quickest because pH 4 water is highly acidic. Background: Douglas Fir trees usually prefer pH precipitation of 7-6, the pH of 7 is perfect pH water, 6.8 is normal pH of precipitation in Oregon, pH 4 is very…

For the most part, geophysical search methods are really only useful in locating ground anomalies that have the potential to be a burial site and then have to be examined by another search method. The…
