Natural gas

paragraph four and five, Carl Pope describes how diesel pollution poses a danger to humans and the climate by mentioning soot as the causes of respiratory diseases and cancer and including info on how diesel emissions is a climate disrupter and greenhouse gas. He ties it back to Californians in…

Abstract This paper details the causes and extent of the pollution at Tar Creek Superfund site in Ottawa County, Oklahoma. This Superfund site is a heavy metal-contaminated area that was created by the aftermath of zinc and lead mining operations throughout the 1900s. The pollution has put local inhabitants at risk of different health issues, and while risk assessments have shown that no significant health risks are obvious compared to the rest of the state of Oklahoma, blood lead levels have…

The Keystone XL pipeline was commissioned in 2010. It “is a $7 billion pipeline approximately 1,661 miles in length and 36 inches wide” (Palliser 2012, 8). The company that would run this project is TransCanada and the pipeline “would run from Hardisty, Alberta, to Nederland, Texas, and traverse Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas” (Palliser 2012, 8). The media has written about the different perspectives on this proposed project. The Indian Country Today article is…

Depositional environment: The Depositional environment throughout the Cooper Basin formations is wholly non-marine, with the Patchawarra formation being a fluvial/deltaic depositional environment, with point-bar sandstones the most common reservoir type. Trap structures: Traps in the Cooper Basin are recognised as being structural e.g Anticlines, Stratigraphic e.g. facies change or a combination of these. Most traps in the Patchawarra formation are combination traps and lie somewhere between…

Tin is a Chemical element its symbol is Sn. Its location on the periodic table of elements is period 5 group 14. Its atomic number is 50 and the atomic weight is 118.71. It has 50 protons, 50 electrons, and 69 neutrons. Tin is a solid, ductile, malleable, silvery-white metal. Tin melts at a low temperature of about 232 °C (450 °F). Tin resists corrosion from water, but can be attacked by acids. Around 5000 years ago, humans first began mining and incorporating tin with copper to create bronze…

Have Termites? Know How To Get Rid Of Them While termites can be a huge problem for a homeowner, dealing with them at the first sign of infestation can prevent those problems form occurring. Termites are known for eating wood, but the way that they actually consume wood is much different than how you may think they do it. Termites don’t use acid for breaking down the wood. Instead, they utilize a special bacteria that breaks down wood cellulose. After the bacteria has done its job, all the wood…

Summary for Burnett’s “Wind Power Puffery” As a costly power source in terms of both money and the environment, wind power has not lived up to its promises of achieving an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional power plants (Burnett 247-248). So argues H. Sterling Burnett in his article, “Wind Power Puffery.” He defends this argument with many specific examples, explaining that wind power falls short of other power sources primarily in that it only generates electricity when the…

Every state in the US has a unique set of statutes governing real estate transactions. It is imperative for real estate professionals to be informed about special risks associated with individual regions of the country. For example, more than two-thirds of Pennsylvania's 67 counties have rich coal deposits underground. And, two centuries of mining activity to bring that precious resource to the surface has resulted in large tunnels and voids that may collapse, causing the surface to subside.…

Abbylyn Sessions Professor Livingston Geology 1100 28 August 2016 Fantasy Field Trip Just outside of Custer, South Dakota is a hidden geological treasure: Jewel Cave. Jewel Cave has over 181.89 miles in mapped passageways making it the third longest cave in the world (United States. National Park Service). The formation is lined with calcite crystals creating a beautiful view inside. Jewel cave is a geologic wonder that would make a great field trip. A field trip to Jewel cave would allow the…

Graph 3.1 shows the rate of heat transfer due to ventilation, through the window, door and wall over a period of 7 days. The total rate of heat transfer for all components are also plotted in the graph. The rate of heat loss fluctuated with respect to time for all components and recorded maximum and minimum rates at similar times. The rate of heat transfer through the door is not only the highest in values but also in variation in temperatures. A more detailed representation of the data…
