used because it is a hydrocarbon, meaning it is mostly insoluble in water and satisfies the requirements discussed.…

Global warming is arguably the largest threat facing humanity today, since 1880 the world 's average temperature has gone up by 0.8 degrees Celsius, and already the effects can be seen with an increase global of cyclones, forest fires, drought and floods. Within the United Kingdom, an increase of 1 degree has occurred since the 1970’s, (Naomi Hicks et al 2013). with this increase in average temperature, the main impact predicted to affect the UK is an increase in the amount of rain in the winter…

The Catchment Land Use for Environmental Sustainability model (CLUES), designed by the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research Ltd (NIWA), provided the data for both the Nitrogen and the Phosphorus concentrations throughout New Zealand. The development of CLUES was through a consolidation of existing mapping procedures and modelling(EnviroLink, 2012), and contributed to by various research organisations (NIWA, 2016). From this collaboration, the models responsible for the Nitrogen…

strategies used to inactivate these enzymes. Vegetables are blanched before freezing and fruit can be dipped in a sugar syrup before freezing to keep them at their best. One of the main problems faced with freezing is a change in texture. When frozen water expands and can cause tissue damage. When the food is thawed it will be mushy and soft because of the tissue damage. When frozen slowly larger crystals will appear and cause more tissue damage. When frozen quickly the ice…

Erosion impact water coastal quality, ocean acidification, and can cause negative impact to reefs. Erosion is as a result occurring when waves take away more sand than they replenish. The impact of water coastal quality is bad because we don’t want to swim in beach waters that are dirty. This will affect not only the attractiveness of Hawaii beaches it will also affect our tourist attraction…

told us before he yelled, “Time to get into the pool for a 400 warm-up!” We had no idea how many laps were in a 400 or how to properly swim, but we slapped on our caps and goggles anyway. Amy jumped into the pool first causing a huge wave of cold water to slam against my body. “Are you getting in?” Amy asked, so I took the…

Logger Pro ● Vernier computer interface ● Laptop computer ● 2 Ring stands ● 2 utility clamps ● 3 400 ml Glass beakers ● 1 Small plastic shoe container ● 6 Sprigs of Elodea ● 1 Hot plate ● 1 Small plastic pan ● Ice to fill the pan ● DI Water Method First, turn the hot plate on to start the heating process, careful not to touch it after it is on. Power on the computer and connect the gas pressure sensor to the interface (Lab Quest). Start the Logger Pro data collection software,…

Thus, the implementation of a bioswale takes into consideration the hydrological, chemical and biological attributes of a particular area and provides a creative and aesthetically pleasing way of controlling runoff while simultaneously improving water quality, mitigating wetland loss, and offering flood containment. In some states bioswales may even provide economic benefits. This paper is divided into five main sections to reflect the hydrological, chemical, biological and economic…

In order to restore, preserve, and protect the environment humanity must modify their mentality on materialistic objects and wealth. Over the past 4.5 billion years planet Earth has changed dramatically. Positive changes have developed, but with that, many negative changes have also developed. These negative changes have effected every living thing on Earth. Humanity went from living in simplicity to living materialistically. Environmental deficit is serious, long-term harm to the…

The ocean is the most obvious feature of the earth 's surface. About seventy percent of the earth’s surface is covered by water. Beneath this water are the familiar sands of the beaches we visit during the summer months, however further offshore this water covers an amazing submarine landscape of underwater trenches, mountains, and plains. This differs from the continents, mainly because they are physically separated from one another, whereas the oceans are continuously interconnected. The…
