Benefits of Proper tree landscape planning - TTS Meta Description: A well-landscaped ground rank as one of the most sought factor when looking for an ideal place to live. Timberlane are tree experts based in Ontario offering several services including tree maintenance. Benefit of Trees and Lawn Trees and lawn also help cool the simmering summer heat by proving green roof. For example, lawns have been shown to be 14 degrees cooler than bare soil and 30 degrees than asphalt during summer. Trees…

creates condensation and thus releases latent heat from evaporation, resulting in a storm and further to a hurricane. Also Louisiana has several wetland areas, and due to the construction of levees and flood walls, these back-swamps no longer receive sediments. This resulted in much of New Orleans is below sea level prior to the catastrophic event. Furthermore, New Orleans is located between the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain making the ground level even lower than its surrounding…

According to,Wheeling, J. (2005, April 28). Retrieved February 07, 2018, from (Brian Rasmussen Follow, "Rasmussen Final+Paper+Green+Roofing", 2015)the main idea about this subject is to find out if rocks age and if they do how they age overtime. The age of the rock in years can be found by measuring the rate at which a parent element decays. The age of a rock in years is called its absolute age.You can look at the fossils the rock has too find what type of rock it is. There are three major…

The ocean: a large expanse of salt water that covers two-thirds of our earth’s surface. It is involved in many biospheric processes and the home to many known and unknown organisms. The first few meters of the ocean are an important site for primary production — the conversion of carbon dioxide from a gas into organic carbon. Carbon dioxide plays an important role in determining the pH of ocean water. Over the last hundred years the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have increased,…

Introduction of Pink Dolphins Pink dolphins, also called Chinese white dolphins, which have a long life expectancy of up to 40 years, so it can see that pink Dolphins can live longer for themselves. Moreover, while the normal pink dolphins can live around 40 years, but in Hong Kong, most of Chinese White Dolphins can live into 30 years. So based on the comparison between dolphins in Hong Kong and dolphins in other places, the dolphins in Hong Kong have a shorter lifespan. Besides that, the…

1.1 Background and problem statement Mangroves are tropical and sub-tropical woody trees that grow naturally in brackish waters within the intertidal zone. Mangrove ecosystems are highly productive and rich in biodiversity and offer a variety of goods and services, both economic and ecological. The estimated total area of mangroves is just above 150,000 km2, divided by 123 countries worldwide (Spalding et al., 2010). In tropical regions, these ecosystems constitute about 0.7 % of the total…

Slide 1: Hi Everyone, I’ll be covering Sperry Glacier in Glacier National Park as my site location for the Dynamic Geologic Setting Project. Location: The Sperry Glacier is located in northwest Montana within Glacier National Park. The image on the left gives you some context with respect to the regional location. It is a small cirque glacier of about .8 square km and an average depth of 35 meters on the North slope of gunsight mountain. The area and depth are steadily decreasing however.…

Imagine the world without beaches, especially the state of Florida. “For many people, Florida is beaches” (Hellegaard). Beach erosion is a big deal to a lot of places, especially the ones that get a majority of their tourism from the beaches that are visited year round; Florida gets most of its tourism revenue from the beach goers so when the beach has been annihilated from the big storms that form off the coastline, aka Hurricanes; no matter the force of the storm, the beaches are almost always…

Knowledge acquired but thrown away, Hughes exposes the blatant racism that occurs in the south (“The Bitter River,” 15-19). The adoption of a more experimental method to spread awareness of the social injustice prominent in the south, Hughes’ poetics is broadcast. This poem serves to remind the higher economic class of African Americans that injustice is still forcefully inflicted upon the working class. Despite their attempts to better themselves, the self-hatred—The Bitter River—prevents them…

Seneca Falls: A Time for Irreverence Movements rarely have a singular origin; nonetheless, a breakthrough in women’s rights was reached in the small town of Seneca Falls, New York back in 1848. Abolitionism, the revolution to end slavery, was well underway. Among the abolitionist, were women who emphatically attended meetings and conventions to forward the cause; however, their contributions were often discredited as they were denied seating and voting rights (Lerner 4). This disenfranchisement…
