Capture and Sequestration: Hope or Hype? Global warming is one of the biggest threats to our plant. One of the biggest contributor to global warming is Carbon Dioxide, which produces more than 60% of our Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Carbon Dioxide is a natural and a vital part of life; however, the world is experiencing a rapid population and economic growth, which leads to a rapid increase in the energy demand. The increase in energy demand, increases the Greenhouse gas emissions beyond our…

A combustion reaction (also known as burning) is an exothermic reaction in which something reacts with oxygen. Combustion reactions are known to be one of the most common types of reactions, they don’t need a lot to happen, there only needs to be an excess amount of oxygen, and with the excess amount, the combustion is called a complete combustion reaction. But with a little amount, the reaction is called an incomplete combustion reaction. The products in a complete combustion reaction are water…

What were the causes of the different results of MAundsen and Scott expeditions to the south pole in 1911 In the peak of Heroic age of Antarctic discovery, a race to reach the center of the south pole was started by two exploreres. The first one Robert Falcon Scott, with the help of the Geographical Society of England, started planning his journey, without the pressure of the race until when in meltrne he received the telegram of Amundsen communicating his expendieron to the south pole.…

1. The term “nature versus nurture” was first introduced by Francis Galton in 1968 when he proposed that intellectual ability is, in fact, inherited through genetics in families (McLeod, 2015). His proposition brought about a relentless and controversial debate that focused on finding out whether human behaviour and trait personalities are governed by genes or environment. The supporters of the nature side argues that like physical characteristics such as skin colour, height and hair type,…

what are the positive effects of recycling? Good morning Ms. Beth & classmates. Today, I will inform you about the positive effects of recycling. First, I'm going to talk about the environmental effects. Then, I'll talk about how recycling saves natural resources. After that, I'll mention some of the economic effects. Finally, I'm going to explain how recycling saves energy. So what is recycling? According to resident life, recycling is the reprocessing of materials into new products to reduce…

can be used in many ways to help us get work done and be more productive with our environment. Solar energy has many benefits for example less usage of fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are a natural fuel such as coal or gas, formed in the geological past from the remains of living organisms. Solar energy is about as natural a source of power as it is possible to create electricity. The…

fracturing, or “fracking”, is the extraction of natural gas from deep underground shale using vertical (“conventional fracking”) and horizontal (“unconventional”) drilling. According to C. Mooney (The Truth About Fracking) conventional fracking has been used since the late 1940’s; it involves drilling a vertical well into a layer of shell and pumping chemically treated water and sand at extremely high pressure to fracture the rock and extract natural gas, a non-renewable fossil fuel used as a…

The nation has the opportunity to increase the production of natural gas, an energy source that is environmentally friendly. The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, “ANWR” for short, is a national wildlife refuge in northeastern Alaska. It consists of 19.6 million acres in the Alaska North Slope region. Nicholas Monaghan reports that the ANWR has been at the face of the environmental policy debate for over thirty years. Since the early 1970s, there has been an environmental battle between oil…

Some might claim that parks are places where people go to see nature rather than art. It is simply an open space for recreation that normally requires a low level of maintenance for trails, picnic areas, and benches. Art is expected not to be touched and playgrounds are built for children to run and climb all over them. Therefore a combination of art and play areas do not seem to blend well together however, Noguchi’s Playscapes managed to accomplish contemporary art in a regular park space. His…

Fracking is a process made for mining to release and collect gases within the ground. Fracking uses many different chemicals and a drill to create what is a mini earthquake in the ground, fracking causes many environmental problems and many people wonder whether it is a positive thing to do in the situation to collect the gases from within the ground. There are many pros and cons to the process of fracking and the real question is do just the big businesses benefit from the processes or can…
