Methane

CONTENTS RESEARCH QUESTION How does the length of carbon chains, specifically those related to alkanols, namely ethanol 1- propanol and 1- butanol, affect the heat of combustion? AIM To investigate how the length of carbon chains affect the heat of combustion and enthalpy, in order to determine which fuel would be the safest and most efficient to take on a camping trip. HYPOTHESIS If the number of carbon atoms in an alkanol is increased, then the alkanol containing the longest carbon…

Climate change and destruction of natural resources is one of the most current critical problems in the world: Many factors in this day and age are contributing to climate change. Although these causes can be both natural and anthropogenic, unfortunately, man is only speeding up this destructive process. The most common and well known factor is the Greenhouse effect, which is a natural process through which land and water masses absorb radiation from the sun. Most of that heat is then…

livestock production. This is a main cause of global warming. Over growing of land causes deforestation, the land is used for expansion of growing crops. Animal agriculture is responsible for 9% of the carbon dioxide exposure. Cows produce a lot of methane this is at least 20% more stronger than carbon dioxide. These greenhouse gases are extremely harmful for our environment. Manure is also a bad nitrous oxide that is exposed to the atmosphere. Did you know that producing beef is way more…

Permafrost Remember Mood Rings? They were rings that change colors depending on your emotions. At least that’s what they wanted us to think. Mood Rings are really thermochroic liquid crystals that color changes based on the temperature of the finger. Something that seems so permanent like the color of a crystal is subject to change just by the mere change of the temperature of its environment. Some environments are also rigid and structured just like the crystals in Mood Rings, but yet, are also…

In the future what climate will the earth have? Will it be too hot, were we will all have to live underground to stay alive and cool. Will we be in the next ice age, struggling to survive in the cold. Will glaciers cover the earth’s surface to the point where no plants can grow? Will we have destroyed the crops where we can no longer feed ourselves? Will it be the same as it is now, proving that climate change is just a political game? No matter what is in store for us in the future, Climate…

Global Warming is the increase of earth’s average surface temperature and its oceans due to greenhouse gases released as people burn fossil fuels. These greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, this is an appositive phrase – it acts as a noun to specify green house gasses, and it must be set apart with commas. absorb heat that would otherwise bounce off the Earth’s surface. In the past two decades, when your sentence starts with a prepositional phrase that is more than four words,…

eat it more Than other meats. On the chart above people tend the eat lamb more than beef. Producing beef requires significantly more resources (e.g. land, fertilizer, and water) than other sources of meat. As ruminant animals, cattle also produce methane that other sources…

Livestock produces 116,000lbs of waste per second. Many people argue that gas from cars is causing the majority of pollution, the real reason is lack of room for cows to roam. The cows waste ends up in one area and seeps into the air, oceans, lakes, and rivers. It takes 1000 gallons of water for a cow to make 1 gallon of milk. 2500 gallons of water are used to produce 1LB of beef. 77 gallons of water are needed to produce 1lb of eggs. Almost 900 gallons of water are needed to produce 1lb…

Climate change, or global warming, is caused by trapped heat within our atmosphere by greenhouse gases. The three biggest greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrus oxide, which are all produced by animal agriculture. Carbon dioxide is one of the more common greenhouse gases, but methane is twenty times more powerful and nitrus oxide over three-hundred times more powerful. The United Nations have reported that animal agriculture is responsible for eighteen percent…

habits, as well as implement stricter food serving schedules. The production of livestock requires massive amounts of food, water, and fuel.Through the process of digestion cattle and other ruminants release harmful greenhouse gases such as methane. Methane is considerably worse than carbon, over a 100 year period it is 25 times worse (EPA,2010.) Ruminants require a massive amount of land to produce feed, as well as to graze. This land is usually acquired through the destruction of the…
