Seawater

while being cheap and often iodized. -- Production I -- In the Iron Age, the British evaporated salt by boiling seawater or brine from salt springs in clay pots over fires. Roman salt-making required boiling the seawater in large lead pans. Salt was also used as currency in ancient Rome and…

water. The first criteria of this solution is that the existence of the water crisis would no longer be present. Since the amount of seawater is very abundant, desalination may be the cause of the end of this world crisis. This means that desalination could bring a limitation to the complications that we face caused by droughts, because of the ample supply of seawater that we…

The planet is quickly becoming desperate for a solution to global warming. The issue has been discussed seriously for decades; however, global advancements to counteract the effects of climate change have been ineffective. International focus has been on stopping the output for harmful emissions into the atmosphere. This is widely considered to be the most obvious and, if put into practice, the most effective solution. However, the world is addicted to old methods of power production with no…

South Australia encountered many challenges in its environmental planning over decades due to natural causes, such as: geographical position and climate, and anthropogenic disturbance originated from: urbanization, industrialization, and transportation. There are three key environmental issues that remain vital to be anticipated by the state’s planners for at least the next five years, they are: 1. WATER SECURITY ISSUE Drivers: a. Climate Change Chartres and Williams (2006) explain that, based…

Digging and filling in the wetlands by humans also contribute to the destruction of the wetlands. Over the past century gas and oil companies have dug up about eight thousand miles of canal and pipelines along the Louisiana shoreline. As a result, seawaters has destroyed vegetation and grass that provide shelter and food to animals. Construction of channel and levees are used to modify wetlands for flood control, drainage, mosquitoes control, irrigation, timber harvest, navigation transportation…

Introduction Phytoplankton require nutrients and light to survive. Certain nutrients are a limiting factor in phytoplankton competition and composition. Some phytoplankton are limited by nitrogen while others may be limited by phosphorus (Quigg, 2016). The experiment in this paper will determine if a body of water is limited by nitrogen or phosphorus by running a resource limitation assay. Nutrient levels in bodies of water may change seasonally in a natural way (Vanni and Temte, 1990).…

British imperial rule include a boycott of British goods in the 1920s, and more notably, the Salt March in 1930. The Salt March, initiated after the British imposed a salt tax, was a 200 mile journey to the seashore where, upon arrival, Gandhi boiled seawater to extract the salt, defying the British and new salt tax (Nationalism in India, slides 13 – 14; Goff et al, 208).…

In Civil Disobedience, Henry Thoreau questioned whether a citizen should “resign his conscience to the legislator” and stated that “the only obligation which [one has] a right to assume is to do at any time what [one thinks] right”.[1] Moreover, he advocated for a “right of revolution”, which should always be exercised when we disagree with the law.[2] These two ideas are at the core of what is known as civil disobedience, or the belief that we should peacefully disagree with the regime if its…

climate becomes more sensitive and susceptible to more natural disasters. The hot desserts expand and the ice caps melt and rises the level of seawater not only causing…

Climate change is a change in the statistical distribution of the weather patterns. The changes are lasting for an extended period of time (It could be between a hundred or thousand years). The climate change is cause by both natural and human factors. In human factors, mainly due to the industrial revolution since the human activities, especially in the industrialized process of developed countries caused by economic activities, fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, land-use change and…
