Surface water

Discussion: In sample, B there was 16% salt, which is unnaturally higher than the global average of 3.5%. When I asked about the reason of this, I found that the water was artificially created. This was also the case of Sample, A which had 9% of salt. That is about 3x the amount of salt from the global average. All though this is not an experiment with data, that we can apply to real life, it was still great fun to do the experiment and the lessons I learnt will stick with me for a long time.…

reaction, not a chemical reaction. All the carbon dioxide in the soda is squeezed into the liquid and looks for a way out. Nucleation sites can be scratches on a glass, the ridges of your finger, or even specks of dust anywhere that there is a high surface area in a very small volume. The Mentos are sprayed with over 40 microscopic layers of liquid sugar. It covers the mentos with lots of nucleation sites. The mentos are also heavy enough to sink, they react with the soda all the way to the…

throughout the city. Aqueducts were navigable channels of water supply that transported water over long distances from “stable and pure mountain springs” and then distributed throughout the city (Humphrey, 46). Most aqueducts were generally built from a combination of bricks, stones, and their secret concrete ingredient, pozzolana. Aqueducts were built not only to supply water to its million and more inhabitants, but to transport a consistent flow of water to public baths, latrines, fountain…

best suit the environment lived in. A: Desert, Its hot and very dry. Less than 10 inches or rain. Quite a bit of direct sunlight. Soil is rocky and sandy which means it is unable to hold much water. Winds are usually very strong which means it drys out the plants. Plants are exposed to very hot and no water. B: Grassland, or prairie have very warm summers and chilly winters. Not much rainfall and drought is very common. The grasslands usually receive about 10 to 30 inches of rain…

decomposer of dead organic material. Mold is also a eukaryotic micro-organism. I didn’t know much about mold before I did this research so I wondered what mold needed to grow. One thing mold definitely needs to grow is water. This surprised me because the one liquid that didn’t grow mold was water. Another thing mold needs to grow is oxygen. Oxygen is all around so I understood how mold grew from this. The other thing mold needs to grow is a temperature no lower than 40 degrees F and no higher…

B. Private organizations such as Cleanup OC reports that this year alone they have collected about 4,600 pounds of trash from Huntington and San Clemente Beach. II. I encourage each and every one of you to plan a beach day, enjoy the sun and the water, but also clean up the beaches while you’re there. Conclusion The summer months are upon us. Many of you will hit the beach and do some much needed studying. While you’re there pick up some trash. It’s an easy way to help the beach and ocean…

Throughout life no one ever takes the time to look at the beauty that is all around God has blessed us with; however, in Alabama it is very hard to miss out on the amazingly beautiful creations. Alabama is one of the most stunning places to visit because of its mountains, lakes, and parks for so many reasons. First Alabama’s remarkable landscaping as in mountains make this such a wonderful place. When walking the landscape and seeing all the beautiful scenery nothing, but peace will run through…

health. Clean water is crucial to any living organism, sometimes helping to dilute pollution (Carpenter et al., 1998). However, water runoff an issue relating to pollution, comes from the every day agriculture. The wasted soil and other contaminated materials find their way down into estuaries and ponds causing massive destruction to not only the water, but to the animals living there as well. Eutrophication, however, is the “biggest problem in most coastal waters,” making the water even more…

nation, California uses more water from the ground than any other, and up to 80 percent of that water is used for agriculture. This mainly happens as a result of the depletion of the Shasta and Oroville Lakes; the federal government’s main source of water for the Central Valley. Since the drought began four years ago, the farms around the central valley have not been getting the provisions they’ve requested form the state, and as a result, have turned to pumping water out of the reservoirs in…

Temperature is the measure of hotness expressed in terms of various arbitrary scales such as Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin. The Fahrenheit scale sets 32° as the freezing temperature for water and it assigns 212° the boiling point for water (What is Temperature, 2015) At the temperature of Absolute Zero there is no motion and no heat. Absolute Zero will occur when every atomic and molecular movement ceases and is at the lowest temperature possible. Absolute Zero on the scale is 0 degrees…
