Surface water

Euclid states, “a surface is that which has length and breadth only”(22). The term surface is one that is controversial in science today. Due to theories such as string theory, the idea of infinite dimensions is a possibility in modern science. Euclid does not define surface with the possibility of numerous dimensions therefore his specific belief of a surface can be questioned. Because a reader in the modern era is able to use current science…

Crane’s description of the bar where Pete works subtly highlights the deceptiveness of this bar’s appearance. The words “imitation leather” depict the fake or misleading qualities of the bar. The “massiveness” of the “shining bar” is another deception of appearance as the “mirrors set in the face of the sideboard” make it look larger than actuality. The mirror also “multiplied” the number of “shimmering glasses” giving the feeling of elegance and high quality. However, the glasses were never…

Snow When it rains and snows, the water that hits your driveway will seap into the tiny cracks and holes in the asphalt. when the temperature drops down to freezing in the winter months, all the water that made its way into the asphalt will expand. When the water expands, it will cause your driveway to crack. One way to prevent water from penetrating your driveway is by sealcoating it. A yearly fresh sealcoat will put a protective layer in place between any water and your driveway. This will…

leaped off, and raced to pick a pineapple. He was able to reboard one of the train’s last cars. Another time, he had gone two days without water. His throat felt as if it was swelling shut. There were no houses in sight. He found a small cattle trough. It was frothy with cow spit. Under the froth was green algae. Beneath the algae was stagnant, yellow water. He brought handfuls to his parched lips. He was so thirsty it tasted wonderful.” Immigration. This is an issue that continues to be…

object like dust particles or a feather. Part B, we used onions, blue methylene and water. It's called a “Wet Mount” since we used a liquid substance (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…

further explored this topic, I decided to endeavour to connect a swimmer’s water movement with the quantity of water being pushed around against the flow. As a swimmer myself, I was greatly interested in determining the optimal angle to kick in order to enhance my swimming. In swimming, kicking can be defined as the continuous up and down movement of the legs; also a way to help stabilize and mobilize your body in the water. With this knowledge, I am interested in ascertaining the relation…

cause 40% of soil erosion. Soil erosion is topsoil, which is organic soil made up with rich nutrients. Erosion can be caused by careless farming techniques that lead to water erosion. When it is raining and you are walking to class you can see soil erosion where they have been working beside the English building. Soil erosion and water erosion is practically the same thing. No one will ever notice soil erosion because nobody ever realizes erosion is everywhere we go. So what exactly causes soil…

second objective focused on the status of resources at farm level and concluded that climate-related risks have caused a considerable decline in the production of major crops such as wheat, maize, rice, sugarcane and cotton, as well as a scarcity of water in Pakistan. The findings from the third objective advanced the scientific community’s understanding of the adaptive measures adopted by the farmers. Currently the farmers employ four main tactics to cope with severe climate change: change…

surface area vs rate of time Introduction: In the investigation an experiment is conducted investigate if the breaking of alka seltzer into ½, ¼ and none effect the time it dissolves. The context of the problem is the time it dissolves to have the medicine show its effect. This problem exist in real life as people take alka seltzer to relief heartburn, acid digestion and stomach aches. This experiment would benefit society because it informs the society the better way of consuming medicine or…

Agriculture covers thirty-eight percent of Earth’s land surface, but the land has continually been turned into cropland as the world’s population steadily increases (Brennan, Withgott pg. 225). Food is a necessity to human survival, however, agriculture, specifically industrial agriculture has caused multiple environmental impacts. Compared to the other land uses, agriculture causes the most harm to the planet due to the use of inorganic fertilizers, machinery, irrigation, pesticides,…
