Land surveying is the technique of determining position of points on the earth and using them to define boundaries and draw maps. It divides the land into parcels by providing correct descriptions, which is then assigned for ownership and other purposes. The original charter group from England brought the “Metes and Bounds” system of describing land or real estate to U.S. where it had been used for many centuries. It was used in the original thirteen colonies that became the United States…

which is a well-known process that causes the Earth to heat. These gases are unable to escape from the Earth’s atmosphere, slowly heating our planet, which leads to even more problems. Carbon is absorbed and kept inside of the limbs, leaves, roots and soil of the trees and is disseminated when they are removed, crowding the atmosphere with even more gas that cannot seep…

Shove it deep into that soil and turn it over. Amend the soil (make it better) by adding peat moss, then put down some Preen, a product that helps weeds not grow. Call someone and order your mulch or go buy bags. Start with 4 cubic yards. (if you have a basic neighborhood front yard & landscape…

along with healthy soil such as nutrients essential to plants, beneficial microorganisms, and organic additives important in organic farming systems because of the integration of biodiversity; allowing overall healthier lifestyles to all individuals willing to take initiative. The health of the soil is represented by the health and rigor of the plants growing within it. Organic farming is not only beneficial for the earth’s surface but it is also Defining Soil Formation Soil is a complex…

Cain Demumbra Jennifer Wilson English 1010 27 October 2017 A Pleasant Trip to the Cumberland Plateau A plateau is a land area having a relatively level surface considerably raised above adjoining land on at least one side and is often cut by deep canyons. The Cumberland Plateau goes from Wayne County in Kentucky to Scott County in Tennessee. I will be writing primarily about areas in and around Cumberland County. The Cumberland Plateau includes parts of Wayne and McrCreary counties in Kentucky…

It is vital to understand the difference between cohesive and non-cohesive subsoils as described in the assignment scenario. Non-Cohesive Non-cohesive subsoils are sandy in nature and they present less of a problem for building on. They are composed mainly of sand and gravel, and they are closely compacted together which means that they are not affected by water. Therefore, their load bearing capacity does not change with the various seasons, summer or winter, drought or flood, it makes no…

The Murray-Darling Basin is facing many environmental, social and economic factors that affect the life around the basin. The Murray Darling Basin is facing many environmental issues that are caused by humans. The farmers near the MDB use fertilisers that run into the water when it rains and pollutes the water. The pollution from the fertilisers cause algae blooms to form. Another way that humans have affected the environment is through the use of irrigation for crops. The use of irrigation…

Discussion: Mudboils cause structural failures since they are suspensions of gravel, clay, silt and fine sand creating an unstable surface. Since the beginning of persistent mudboil activity in the 1970’s, natural landscapes and engineered features have become subject to land-subsidence as mudoils continually deteriorate the areas in their path (Tresohlavy 2003, pp. 27). Petroleum pipeline rerouting, telephone cable burials, and the collapse of bridges have demonstrated the true capabilities of…

study of application of coir geotextile for increasing the CBR value has been presented. This case study is of soil in Assam, India. Assam is a state of India. In this case study attempts were made to increase the CBR value of black cotton soil in Assam using coir geotextile. A number of CBR tests are conducted (both soaked and unsoaked conditions) using samples consisting of soil only and soil with layer of coir mat at different position from the top surface. CBR tests are carried out in…

thinks that, at this point, the most suitable countermeasure for deforestation seems to be reforestation. Reforestation will help to rebuild and restore habitats for many wildlife species, stabilize the CO2 cycle, normalize the water cycle, reduce the soil erosion, and increase the CO2 storage capacity of the trees. Philip provides another potential solution. He mentions that another solution is shifting the human beings to a diet plan that is wholesomely based on plants. This will decrease…
