Specific surface area

cutting down trees, however large areas of trees are cut down to prepare the land for animal grazing. Trees absorb harmful greenhouse gases, they store large amounts of CO2, consequently when large areas of trees are cut down huge levels of CO2 are released back into the atmosphere. Furthermore, due to huge amounts of trees being cut down in rainforests around the world everyday habitats are destroyed. Consequently, the homes of species that reside in these areas are eradicated, which has led to…

public sphere was compared to the surface web in consideration of its basic infrastructure, proving that it treats its users’ content and viewpoints equally due to reasons like the lack of search engine prioritization. Anonymity, equality, and privacy were identified as crucial themes of the Deep Web which were consistent with its role as a public sphere after considering both Habermas’ and Fraser’s theories. These arguments were applied to proving that the surface web lacks these qualities…

Urea is an extremely harmful chemical fertiliser for soil and its increased use pollutes the soil while making it unfertile in the long run. Deforestation of the upper surface of the soil in mountainous districts is increasing rapidly which compels the farmers to increase the use of urea. Due to this, soil health is deteriorating further. The unbridled use of manure, coupled with the use of pesticides ultimately harms human…

Number One. The prompt was to compare the results of pennies dropped in water, versus the result of pennies being dropped into milk, both at 100 mL. The main purpose of this lab was to further discuss more scientific parts of this lab, such as the surface tension when the cylinder was close to overflowing for both the milk and water. Before performing this lab, my group and I created a hypothesis to reflect upon and to state what we believed would dictate the results. The hypothesis stated that…

hat is a chemical spill? A chemical spill is an uncontrolled, accidental release of a chemical into the environment. What is remediation of chemical spills? The removal of unwanted, hazardous contaminants from an area. There are many methods by which this can be accomplished. Sodium Hydroxide can be fatal to aquatic animals. It is responsible for more than half a million fish in British Columbia in 2005. Phosgene can be released as a gas from household paint removers when exposed to heat. If…

a failure. From my point of view, it is a product of their largely non-regulatory approach and is due to a lack of technical information concerning what control measures actually work. Section 208 of the Clean Water Act “requires states to develop area-wide waste treatment management plans” and be submitted to EPA in return of federal financial assistance. It is considered ineffective because states lacked of incentives to link planning to implementation and is due to “the basic resistance of…

The water quality of the U-High Creek is excellent. However, not all bodies of water are excellent like the U-High Creek. Some creeks, lakes, rivers, streams, etc. have bad water quality. This poor water quality can come from eutrophication. Eutrophication is the process of runoff water from land entering a body of water that contains an excess amount of nitrates and phosphates, polluting the water of these chemicals. Once the water contains this nitrogen and phosphorus, it causes algae to grow…

Authors can influence their readers to do something useful for the environment with several different types of writing. There are three main types of influencing ways a author can write. One would be a way of protesting to change something. Another way would be showing how people what other people are doing to inspire them to do the same. The last way would be to right a fictional piece and represent what is going on in the environment. Every way to influence a reader is very effectual. Many…

This generally happens because the traffic that area experiences is heavier than your parking lot was designed to handle. Many times, alligator cracks develop around truck loading areas. To fix this problem, you need to not only patch your concrete, but design it to support heavier loads in the future. #3 Reflective Cracks Reflective cracks are generally long, straight…

(Overfishing 2012) Salinity is also a major issue. When the water table reaches 1-2 meters below the ground’s surface, the water moves and brings salt with it. As this water evaporates, it leaves the salt within the surface layers of the soil. Over time this causes the soil to become saline and limits the growth of vegetation. Salt sensitive plants begin to die and can leave the soil prone to erosion. High salt content…
