In the 21st century, global warming, which is caused by the increase of carbon dioxide gases that forms from burning fuels in the atmosphere, is a serious threat to the Earth. As National Renewable Energy Laboratory (2006) statistics show, energy consumption is done principally by buildings in the U.S. This research intends to decrease the percentage of carbon emission by developing zero carbon homes. Berry,S. et. al. (2013) define zero carbon homes as having no need for fossil fuel for heating…

environments. Generally in the fresh water phase (and this encompasses all the stages prior to smolting), young salmon eat insects, invertebrates and plankton, while adult salmons in salt water eat other fish, squid, eels, and shrimp (Quinn, 2005). This makes the structure of the mouth of the salmon develop differently at each stage to parallel their diet. In stages before smolting salmon usually have invisible teeth which are able to appropriately match their fresh water diet as they are…

stay warm by uses gas heaters, and so on. Although fracking is benefiting us, there are claims that it is also harming us. The claim is that fracking put contaminants like methane in our water. According to Wikipedia, Methane is the simplest alkane, and is the main component of natural gas. “Methane gas is bad in water because is flammable and explosive when mixed with air, and it can displace oxygen if released into a confined space, resulting in asphyxiation.” So why not this this should be a…

Young regarding water as a resource, whether it falls from the sky or pumped from the ground. It studies the idea of water being used wastefully is the past decades.

Hydraulic fracturing is a technology used to get natural gas from deep underground by cracking the shale so that the gases can be released. However this is not the right way to get energy because it is bad for the environment and can be the cause of many health problems. Hydraulic fracturing contributes to climate change, pollutes drinking water and can release toxic…

involves with a soda can, being crushed. Going step by step, our group simply placed small amounts of water into the soda can. Then we placed the soda can on a hot surface which allowed the water to boil. Once the water was boiling, our group witnessed the steam coming out from the opening on top of the soda can and one of us picked up the soda can with beaker tongs.
