and reduce contaminations and medical deficits, the U.S. needs to put close to sixty billion dollars into the infrastructure budget within the next 10 years. To start, floods, caused by excess precipitation, is causing thousands of deaths (La Ganga 2014). As the temperature continues to ascend, precipitation does as well. The…

I will research weather patterns which will include the temperature of the air, the humidity of the air, the type and amount of cloudiness, the type and amount of precipitation, air pressure, wind speed and direction. I will also get professional opinion from one of my Professors Bogart, a climatologist who teaches at Frostburg State University. I will also research the climate changes over the years not just recently…

gravitational force. Hydroelectricity is a renewable energy resource; for hydropower to generate electricity it uses the water cycle. For hydropower to generate a lot of electricity it is mostly dependent on elevation and precipitation changes. Large elevation changes and high precipitation levels are essential to generating a significant amount of electricity. Areas such the Pacific Northwest Mountain will be more productive in generating electricity for hydropower than an area such as the Gulf…

In youth, kids see the difference in sexes as little more than boys peeing while standing and girls sitting down. Somehow, despite their proximity to the bowl at that age, boys still get reprimanded by parents and others for their inaccuracies, too, but by and large, many (though certainly not all) view this as a male advantage due to the ease of use for male, anatomical plumbing. In September 2017, experts published a study suggesting that there is a psychological or educational advantage to…

and Yuba County residents were forced to evacuate as the near failure of the Oroville Dam threatened downstream communities (Harpold, 2017). Prior to the main spillway damage, California experienced a severe multiple year drought. A seven-day precipitation event resulted in failure of the spillway and the second largest runoff event in the Oroville basin since 1995 (Vahedifard…

pressing issue facing society on a global basis, with serious implications for the food security of billions of people in the developing countries. The inter-annual, monthly and daily distribution of climate variables (e.g., temperature, radiation, precipitation, water vapor pressure in the air and wind speed) affects a number of physical, chemical…

Introduction The seven soil formation factors have created unique soils throughout Saskatchewan. Through time soil processes such as additions, losses, translocation, and transformations have continued to form soils and make different horizons. Two catena's in Saskatchewan, one in the prairie and another in the boreal forest, were examined and classified into taxonomic group. The objective was to identify, compare, and contrast the major soil formation factors, morphological features, and…

Objective I. To learn how to inoculate the nutrient broth properly in preventing contamination to the nutrient broth and the culture Escherichia Coli. This is done by sterilized the loop and sterilized the neck of the tub with heat from before use and before put the cape on. II. To learn how to do a simple streak of an E. coli culture on a nutrient agar plate with one stroke from start to end like a “Z”. III. To learn how to do a complex streak where we grow E. coli culture on the nutrient…

sub-region of Western Cape and characterized by dry, hot summers and wet, moisty winters which is typically of Mediterranean weather conditions. This area receives approximately 80% of its rainfall from April to September. Figure 1.1 Annual precipitation (mean) in Western Cape showing the Swartland region Climate Drivers in Western Cape The…

“Good bye honey, I love you!” called Mrs. Stromson. Maria burst through the rickety screen door, and started off for school. She departed her house 15 minutes later than she normally did, and was in a hurry to reach class on time. The casual three mile walk had now turned into a three mile dash. Maria had never been tardy to class, let alone even missed a day! She glanced down at her watch, “I have 4 minutes to run ¾ of a mile, and to be in class.” Maria huffed and puffed as she rounded the…
