of rusting. • Salt also causes damage to concrete bridges. • Chloride can penetrate and deteriorate concrete on bridge decking, parking garage structures, and other infrastructure. • It damages vehicle parts such as frames, bumpers, and other areas. • The cost of corrosion damage costs about 16-19 billion dollars a year in Canada. Alternatives and Conclusion: • There are alternate solutions that we can use to reduce the amount of environmental, and economical effects that salt comes with…

like soil and rocks. There are also more types of erosion like gully erosion and sheet erosion. Sheet erosion is the removal of of soil in thin layers by raindrops and overland flow. Gully erosion is the removal of soil along the drainage lines by surface water runoff. This picture shows Gully Erosion https://goo.gl/images/1jaa5Q This picture…

The beach has three major parts: beach face, berm and back beach. The area above the water, including the intertidal zone, is known as the beach berm. Beach berm can include vegetation, such as trees, shrubs, or grasses. The most familiar characteristic of a beach berm is its type of sand or rock (Marinebio.net, 2014). Along the backshore, accumulations of wind-blown sand may form sand dunes, and when these are sufficiently stable they become consolidated by a characteristic dune vegetation, for…

leak in your Collin County, TX home is often the result of damaged pipes beneath your foundation, which is the primary reason why these types of leaks are so hard to detect. Things to look for include unusually high water bills, water spots and damp areas showing up on your floors, swelling in your sewer lines evidenced by heaving soil in your yard, or sounds of running water with no obvious explanation for it. You may be tempted to turn a blind eye to some of these smaller symptoms, or think…

(blue methylene and water).Wet mounts are used with a piece glass concave slide and a solid object for viewing it. A drop of water or other liquid substances is dropped onto the object and a cover slip is slid on top of the liquid. The tension of the surface of the water automatically will close the cover tight to the slide while still holding the object in place for accurate, focused viewing. Dry mounts are also used with a piece of a flat slide but only with a solid object instead of dropping…

since you are wondering now, a Watershed is an area or ridge of land that separates waters flowing to different rivers, basins, or seas. With that knowledge, our Environmental Scientist have discovered pollution inside the Watershed, caused by human interactions, located around the Mobile River in Southern Alabama. The pollution found in the river is affecting the wildlife that are in that area or even wildlife that migrate from or passing through that area. Many of the pollutants found in the…

Water pollution is when our water steams, and rivers get polluted by harmful things. Water pollution in Georgia today is a very disastrous issue. The problem with water pollution is contamination from chemical spills, burst pipelines and toxic waste. Water pollution is a major issue to be dealt with. There are many ways water pollution can be avoided. In addition to finding a solution to this problem, The Clean Water Act was made and passed. Even though Water pollution very harmful, People have…

process. The conclusion to objective four states that the farmer’s capacity to adapt is very limited due to the various daily obstacles faced including lack of resources, information, financial capacity and lack of support from the government. Lack of surface water for crop production remains the most serious limitation to adaptive capacity, followed by inability to access farm credit services and improved…

compare the Swansea Bridge area with other various parts of the channel to see if the pollution problem is better or worse in different locations. Firstly, I wanted to find out how the locals felt about the pollution problem,…

type as well as the physico-chemical make-up of the soil. Soils generally fail in shear. At failure, shear stress along the failure surface (mobilized shear resistance) reaches the shear strength, Holtz and Kovacs (1981). The soil grains slide over each other along the failure surface. No crushing of individual grains. At failure, shear stress along the failure surface (t) reaches the shear strength (tf). Using the Mohr – Coulomb criterion, Figure 10.1, we have in terms of effective stresses…
