Surface

life to exist on Earth. It exists as a solid, liquid, and gas and is common in every state. Covering about 75% of Earth’s surface and 70-90% of mass in living organisms, water is the most abundant liquid on Earth (Sarquis). In the Bible, water is mentioned many times in the Old and New Testament. The unique physical properties such as hydrogen bonding, evaporation, and surface tension are mentioned in the Bible and help to prove the existence of a Creator through not only faith, but science.…

balance on the earth’s surface: Energy gains: Solar radiation absorbed by the surface and the atmospheric infrared radiation absorbed by the surface. Energy losses: Infrared radiation emitted by the surface and the loss of energy through convection and latent heat. (i) For the GMST to be in a steady state would require the energy gain of the earth’s surface to be equal with the energy loss from the earth’s surface. (ii) For the GMST to rise would require the energy loss of the surface to be…

In the article, "Repelling Germs with Sharkskin" written by Esther Landhuis, it discusses the benefits of sharkskin for humans. As the article unfolds, you will see a scientist named Anthony Brennan, inventor of the sharkskin texture, realized many marine animals have "crusty" skin due to the buildup of algae and barnacle. This prompted him to wonder what the skin was made up and why it was so different than other animals. The scientists soon found a process that helped them find what the skin…

seven continents, as it is today. It was one big landmass called Pangea. Meaning all land. Pangea went under a process called continental drift, founder by Alfred Wegener, which is caused by geo-process. Geo-process results in changes to the earth's surface because of tectonic plates causing mountain building, earthquakes, and volcanos. First off, convergent plates cause many different types of mountains, like the folded mountains. Their called a folded mountain because of the folding plates.…

1.2 AIM AND OBJECTIVE OF PROJECT The main aim of the project is to collect/separate the oil from the surface of the water in the sea. Objectives : 1. To collect the spilled oil from surface of the water which cleans the water. 2. To reduce the pollution of water. 3. To reduce the westage of oil. 5.1 Construction and working process of oil skimmer : The oil skimmer contains four aluminum disc, acrylic body, battery, switches, L-shaped aluminum strip, oil collector tank and high speed motor etc…

have led to research in the field of polymer chemistry. Discussion The performance of a polymeric corrosion inhibitor is a function of its size and number of functional anchoring groups1. The anchoring groups allow the polymer to adsorb to the metal surface and assist in corrosion mitigation. Other main factors that influence corrosion protection are molecular size, weight, pH, and composition. It has been observed that adsorption characteristics of a polymer strongly depend on…

from the exsolved gases in the magma and the injection of a new batch of magma chamber,Bodies of magma rise in the crust until they reach a point of neutral buoyancy. The expansion of gases brings the magma closer to the surface and…

survive. For example the anoles found on the base of tree bear long hind limbs which are adapted for long distance jumping and high speed running, where as those living on twigs have shorter hind limbs enabling them to remain shore footed on the narrow surface of twigs (Losos 2001). How did the evolution of the anoles occur? What is the cause for this large morphological…

to the outer planets, they are small in size, made of denser materials, and lack a huge numbers of moons. Even though they share these common traits, they are still very different from each other. Mercury is the closest planet to the sun, yet its surface is either extremely hot or extremely cold due to the slow rotation of the planet on it's axis and the lack of atmosphere. It is also unique in that it's core is about 75% of its diameter, possibly due to an impact by a large body that shaved…

should be easily applicable, the action of the cleaning agent on the original surface should be totally controlled and it should be fast and economical [5]. The deterioration of wall paintings in Isis temple exposed to deterioration factors is a complex process in which chemical, physical and biological mechanisms are involved and a deep layer of oil soot, airborne particles and the formation of microbial biofilms in the surface layers (of the order of 1 mm thickness) of degenerated material,…
