Little to no precipitation can cause drought. Many native plants go through a process called thermoperiodism because Kansas experiences different periods of extreme weather. Plants in Kansas tend to be tolerant of most conditions, some more than others. There are drought resistant plants located in the park, shown in the table made by Holly Dickman shows a list of drought tolerant plant materials found in northwest Kansas. Although the site is in northeast Kansas, the plants do not vary enough…

While cookies are baking in the oven, heat transfer occurs to make them bake correctly. As said by the author Nora Fulmer, heat transfer is the process where an item comes into contact with a heat source and exchange thermal energy between two objects. It is a complex process that removes bacteria, while cooking food. Heat energy is created and transferred when food becomes hot, its molecules absorb energy and begin bouncing off each other. The first type of heat transfer is conduction.…

about is called “Fukushima radiation nears California coast, judged harmless. The article was published on November 11 2014. In this article, they talked about a couple of different things. One of the topics they talked about was the Fukushima nuclear disaster that occurred in 2011, and how the radioactive contamination has slowly started to approach the coast of California. The radiation levels were looked over by researches and found out that the radiation does not pose a risk…

The ecosystem was corrupted. Animals also have had to deal with the radiation fallout. The areas that were affected are have less population density than areas with no radiation exposure. Since these creatures live in a radioactive location, they have had to adapt to the conditions around them. Animal adaptations are common in animals who need to survive in conditions that…

countries because of the radiation released as a result of malfunctions (Steinhauser 801). The Fukushima and Chernobyl nuclear power plant accidents illustrate the effects radiation has on the environment because they are examples of disasters involving nuclear power. After the Fukushima incident, there was large amounts of radiation that were released in the Pacific ocean which also affected the marine organisms in that area (Steinhauser 803). Although, it is unclear how radiation in water…

about the issue of cell phone radiation and how people interact with them, helped to show the significance of the issue. People had no form of really understanding the problem and do not even know the regulations, manufacturers have on the contact customers should have with a phone. For some people it is out of reach this information, there is ambiguity about what a cell phone can do to their health. From the research found people were unaware of the level of radiation they are exposed to and…

Agricultural Experiment Station in Corvallis, Oregon. There was an experiment to determine if processed foods can be sanitized by using great amount of gamma radiation. A can of meat was revealed that radiation, which was believed to destroy all known types of lifestyle, has been damaged and D. radiodurans was separated. D. radiodurans is known for its radiation-resistant qualities. Being that it is mesophilic, this variety develops relatively well between 30-37 ° C. Deinococcus radiodurans has…

out of the three. “The nuclear forces” is a common name used to describe the connection between the protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Nuclear stability is the stability of the nucleus which, when stable, no radiation will be omitted. But if the nucleus in unstable, it will give off radiation, making the nucleus radioactive.…

Japanese city of Hiroshima. The explosion was devastating, as it managed to wipe out a large majority of the city’s population. The amount of people pronounced dead was estimated at around 80,000. The rest of the population would die later on due to radiation exposure. The American military felt it was necessary to drop a second atomic bomb on the city of Nagasaki. They felt this was necessary to minimize the number of lost American lives that could result from a potential invasion of Japan.…

of chemistry so nuclear changes would be included, after he discovered that uranium could disembogue radiation. Not very long after his discovery, Marie Curie began studying in the field of radiation, and completed most of the pioneering work on nuclear changes. Marie Curie discovered that radiation was related to the amount of radioactive element that is present, she also discovered that radiation was a property of atoms. Curie was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the first person to…
