Deforestation, or “the conversion of forest to another land use or the long-term reduction of the tree canopy cover” (“Deforestation”) is a global problem. One immediate effect of this phenomenon is the degradation of forests. More specifically, deforestation reduces biodiversity, releases greenhouse gas emissions, disrupts water cycles, increases soil erosion, and disrupts livelihoods (“Deforestation”). Southeast Asia is facing extreme amounts of deforestation. About 3.5 million hectares of…

Coal There are four common varieties of coal-  Peat  Lignite  Bituminous  Anthracite Different Varieties of Coal Each variety of coal has a different calorific value. The calorific value of different kinds of coal depends upon its carbon content. The higher the carbon content, higher is the calorific value of the coal. The calorific values of different kinds of coal are given in increasing order as: Peat < lignite < bituminous < anthracite Peat has the lowest content of carbon as…

The Conversion of Coal: Joshua Betthauser In the Beginning: The conversion of coal is a lengthy process which begins hundreds of millions of years ago, as a natural resource under the dirt, known as “peat”, than, over time and under pressure, it’s converted into “lignite”. Then, very many millennia later, it is transformed into “bituminous”, then into “anthracite”, the coal we know and love. www.minersmuseum.com/history-of-mining/coal-formation/ The Description: Coal begins as a natural…

5 Objectives De Groote Peel National Park is a designated site under the Natura 2000 network and part of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands (Iran, 1971). Regarding to Annex I (HD), it consists of two “habitat types of community interest”: “degraded raised bogs still capable of regeneration” (type 7120) and “European dry heaths” (type 4030). These habitats are known as Special Areas of Conservation (HD, 1(l)) and therefore subject to conservation measures and a management plan. The Habitats…

experiment, it is also important to look at the different ratios of soil that will be used in this experiment. I will be using compost which is a naturally occurring soil made from decomposed materials only, and the other one is potting soil which obtains peat moss, pine bark, and perlite (to provide air…

thermal, potential, wind, solar and chemical energy. The first electricity was run on water and coal but now coal, nuclear, natural gas, wind mills and petroleum. In America natural gas is the most used generator of electricity and in the world coal and peat are the most used generator. Electricity travels at the speed of light and a spark of static electricity can hold up to three thousand volts. A bolt of lightning can hold up to three million volts. Electricity always looks for the easiest…
