Logan Flom Mr. Moon Language/Literature 9 24 November 2015 Everest’s Environmental Exigency Mt. Everest is a colossal landmark, standing at an extraordinary 8,848 meters, or 29,029 feet above sea level. Since the peak of Mt. Everest reaches so far into the sky, it is almost unconceivable to imagine that there is a major complication at the so called “top of the world”. This problem is pollution, and it is getting worse every day. One of the many pollution problems on Mt. Everest is the…
into various water sources. Not only are we harming ourselves but also the living things that call the water their home. Some of the biggest pollutants that effect our water systems today are antifreeze from cars, cigarette ash and not to mention pesticides that run off from the fields. We know the effects of these harmful chemical substances can be deadly to humans but how does it alter the lives of the creatures living in the water? Some of the smallest living species in the water is known as…
bathtubs are having problems draining water, it’s likely that there’s a blockage in your plumbing system. Hair, soap residue, and sediments can get stuck in the pipes, and their presence is problematic for your property. If you don’t remove them quickly, they’ll start building up. Once they’re big enough to disrupt the efficient water flow of your plumbing system, you’re at a higher risk of encountering a burst pipe. A burst pipe occurs when there’s just too much water pressure in the pipes.…
It may seem excessive to perform it twice a year, but a clogged gutter can result in water finding its way under your roof causing damage to your home. The purpose of gutters is to capture the water that flows from your roof during rain, and direct it away from the home and its foundation. Poorly maintained slop next to the home, a clogged gutter system, and poor drainage are potential causes…
traditions (Mathis et al., 2014). Mathis et al., concluded that Alaska fisheries are extremely vulnerable to the effects from OA in the region’s four seas that ring Alaska--the Chukchi, Beaufort, Bering, and Gulf of Alaska (See Appendix A, Image 1) (Mathis et al., 2014). Alaska’s fishing industry currently supports more than 100,000 jobs and generates over $5.8 billion in annual revenues while contributing to the balance of trade in the U.S. (Mathis, et al., 2014). Southeast Alaska was…
help of geology. Unexpectedly large amounts of minerals are utilized in modern technology. For example, batteries, phones, and houses are all made with geologic awareness. Geology is a major factor in almost all aspects of life. Some proof that water is obtained with geologic knowledge is that hydrologists observe what type of rocks trap the groundwater and they utilize that knowledge to locate it. The knowledge of geology is used to determine how much liquid is in between the cracks as well…
“Land of a Thousand Hills”, Rwanda’s landscape contains hills and multiple mountains each filled with steep slopes and valleys. Advantages that benefit this environment include two consistent water sources and easily accessible water drainage. Two rainy seasons supply the country with an adequate amount of water. A beneficial way to improve an understanding of Rwanda is by separating the region into five regions. Starting in the west, along the Lake Kivu the first region…

The purpose of gutters are to protect the roof and foundation of the home. When gutters are properly installed, they prevent water from stagnating on the roof. When this fails, it can cause damage to your…
sometimes bubbled over the sides of the tube. When leaving the propanone to evaporate overnight, we may have got contamination on our yield and lost some mass. We only had 10cm3 of water to dissolve the solid in which was a very small amount meaning some of the solid may not have dissolved. However if too much water was added, it would have affected the formation of my crystals. Another problem we faced was that you had to make sure we left the solid on the scales for a long enough time to…
bore water, as well as in the MC supply water. A total of seven pesticides were detected in these water samples, but ethion was not among those detected in the samples. Among the different groups of pesticides, OP pesticides were present in the range of 0.002–0.768gL−1 with maximum concentrations for triazofos (0.768gL−1) and metribuzin (2.51gL−1) in their respective groups (Table 6). Almost 100% of the samples showed the presence of triazofos and monocrotofos, while only 64% of the water was…
