Seawater

lasted 48 hours and had two alternating phases. The first phase was the “Plinian eruption”, a huge explosion that created a large-volume cloud and a violent eruption with columns of gas and ash. The energy used to fuel the eruption came from “seawater seeping over time into the deep faults of the region, which then came into interaction with magma and heat (Wikipedia, 2015).” This in turn caused the escape of steam superheated by magma, producing the humongous cloud. This portion lasted 18-20…

fourth day they opened on3 can of turnips and ate it. The next day the caught a turtle and proceeded to eat the turtle and last can of turnips. For eight days after this last meal, they had nothing. Parker is ill in the corner of lifeboat as he drank seawater.…

Coastal river deltas, lagoons and bays all make up an estuary. The lower portion of the Hudson River extends from just south of Newburgh, New York to the southern tip of Manhattan. It is an estuary, where salty seawater mixes with fresh water. Some organisms, like the zebra mussel, can't survive in salty or brackish water. They live only in the upper, freshwater portion of the river. One display asked the question: Why protect estuaries? The answer is that they…

When coral gets stressed, they expel all the algae that provides it with about 90% of its energy, in a state of near death. Instead of the bright pink or yellow, or whatever bright color the coral originally was, it turns to a pale chalky white. If whatever is causing the coral to stress out continues, like the water is still too warm, it starts to starve and dies. If whatever is causing them stress goes away after a little while, it is possible for the coral to come back and regain their color…

regional director was killed when the old anti air missiles were fired and aimed at the com towers and the command structure. I don’t know why or how that happened. That was 5 hours ago. It can either tunnel now or it figured out a way to withstand seawater. Neither is good. It can now interface with our tech. The rest of the team is trying to extract the VIPs from the ruins of Central but I doubt”. Suddenly a biomass tentacle bursts through the now open door spearing 23. Operative 24 is…

Assignment 7 Power Station Emission Aim: The aim of this experiment is to measure the mass of sulphur dioxide in 1m3 of flue gas (waste gas from burning fossil fuels in a power station). To achieve this aim, titration of an unknown solution of sulphuric acid (around 0.2-0.4 mol) and sodium carbonate (0.2 mol) using methyl orange as an indicator. 1. Introduction Fossil fuel is formed from decayed plants and animals that have been converted to crude…

Since the beginning of the industrial era, carbon dioxide or CO2 concentrations have been dramatically increasing. Today we are facing the highest amounts of anthropogenic CO2 in our atmosphere in over 650,000 years. Increased CO2 concentrations will have many negative effects on this planet. Our plants and oceans play a crucial role in carbon recycle on our planet and our oceans absorb one quarter of CO2 that is emitted into our atmosphere. When the ocean absorbs CO2, chemical reactions occur…

naval warfare often left many castaways isolated for long periods of time, be able to drink sea water would save many lives. For the experiments of desalinization of seawater was used mainly to European gypsies, divided into four different experimental groups that could only drink a kind of water: one group would drink only seawater, another would only consume water processed with the "Berka" method, a third would drink unsalted unpurified water and while the last one recieved no water at all.…

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines civil disobedience as “refusal to obey governmental demands or commands especially as a nonviolent and usually collective means of forcing concessions from the government” (Merriam). Over the course of human history, there are numerous accounts of civil disobedience. There is often dispute over whether it impacts a free society negatively or positively. Civil disobedience has a positive impact on a free society because no system is completely just, it takes…

The practice of agriculture, since its early beginnings, has suffered from pests and diseases that cause large losses. Over the last 100 years, the hunt for an effective pesticide has become crucial for agriculture. However, the use of these pesticides have brought more harm than good. Methoxychlor is a synthetic, organochlorine pesticide developed to replace dichlorophenyltrichloroethane (DDT) in 1948. It was preferred due to its low toxicity in mammals and shorter half life than that of DDT,…
