Great Salt Lake

Every year during winter months, icy surfaces create a dangerous problem for drivers and pedestrians. Icy roads and sidewalks can become very hazardous for travel. A solution must be implemented to mitigate risks associated with winter travel. This problem is relevant to the experiment since I will be testing different methods of melting ice. The solution resulting from the experiment can be used throughout the world to make our roads safer. The literary reviews for this experiment are from…

II. Method Concentration Gradients Experimet1: In this portion of the experiment, a beaker was obtained with 50mL of water, and it was sat until the water stopped moving. A small crystal of potassium permanganate dye was gently put into the water at the center of the beaker. Then the observation was recorded for the next 5 minutes. Experimet2: In this portion of the experiment, a beaker was obtained with 50mL of water in room temperature, and a teabag was placed into a beaker of water. The…

was to, Identify the given unknown salt through a variety of experiments which yielded valuable quantitative and qualitative data.Before any experiments were carried out, multiple properties were compiled in order to have a source to compare the found results with. Beginning with the first experiment to determine if the unknown salt was hygroscopic, efflorescent, deliquescent or none of the above properties. This test was done through weighing an amount of the salt and reweighing after 15…

This paper will discuss the Great Lakes regions issue with invasive species introduced via ships ballast water, and the response that has followed since then. The impact of shipping and its economic benefit to the region will also be reviewed. The Great Lakes The great lakes system consists of a group of linked freshwater lakes spanning across the traditionally defined “heart land” region of North America. The system consists primarily of 5 distinct bodies of water; Lake Superior, Michigan,…

across. Its salt level is fifty percent saltier than the ocean itself. The Salton Sea is beneficial to more than four hundred and twenty different species of birds. The species range from “white and brown pelicans to eared grebes, curlews, ibis, avocets and snowy plovers. It also supports millions of fish and a host of invertebrates, important food sources for the birds.” (Blogger, 2015) Salton Sea is a major problem because water is evaporating faster than water getting put back into the lake.…

The great lakes have been around since the tail end of the Ice Age. Now 2.6 million years later, the great lakes are facing huge problems. The great lakes have now been suffering through pollution, invasive species, and habitat loss. These are some of the reasons why. The pollution in the great lakes is not great, but its not horrendous. The text explains that pollution is in the great lakes, but other evidence explains that the great lakes pollution has gotten better since the 60's. In fact,…

the Upper and Lower Peninsulas. This change comes from rivers and lakes eroding, transporting, and depositing; glaciers carving the land and leaving behind water; and humans manipulating water for beneficial reasons. It’s no secret that Michigan is shaped by water simply due to the fact that it is surrounded by lakes on almost every border it has, but the rivers and lakes have more…

Dalhousie Lake Dalhousie Lake in Ontario, Canada is a very interesting place. it is located about two hours away from the Thousand Islands. The lake is about three miles long, and one mile wide. There are lots of wide, tall, colorful, new, and old cottages around the lake. Imagine the smell of pine trees in the cool crisp air, and the taste of fish with a hint of salt water. As you are walking down the shore, feel the sand between your toes as you listen to the sound of waves crashing…

is completely safe and can maintain the hygienic level of your carpet. • There are few essential natural ingredients that can be mixed together for creating a powerful mixture and those ingredients are ginger powder, lemon essentials, vital oils, salt, baking soda and…

the Sierra Nevada mountains, there is Mono Lake, which is a large but secluded lake tucked away in a depression in the ground a few miles away from the nearest road. At first glance, it may seem like just another normal lake, but it is home to a bizarre, otherworldly landscape that was created when water from fresh water springs underneath the lake mixed with the lake’s salty, alkaline water, forming deposits of limestone. Near the south shore of Mono Lake, grotesque towers of rough, porous…
