Carbon Dioxide Greenhouse Effect
1,080 words
While some people believe the earth's climatic
changes are due to the fact that the universe is
getting older, others believe it is due to the
greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is a
naturally occuring phenomenon that is responsible
for trapping heat near the earth's surface and
keeping the planet warm. It is called the
greenhouse effect because the way it works is
similar to the way in which a green house
functions. In a greenhouse sunlight passes through
the transparent roof and walls an...

Experiments to Determine the Cooling Rate of
Coffee, when Milk should be Added and what
Container should be Used The aim of the first
experiment was to find out and record the cooling
rate of coffee under three different conditions
and thus showing when milk should be added
assuming you have a phone call. The three
different conditions were chosen because these
were the most likely situations encounter by
someone who is making a cup of coffee. We used
Tain instruments to accurately calculate the...

... sly mentioned. Also low tyre pressures below
20 psi (pounds per square inch) can be run to
squat the tyre down onto the road and form a
larger footprint. However with lower tyre
pressures there is less force holding the tyre in
shape. When under extreme force in the horizontal
plane (such as in cornering) the rubber will
elastically deform and cause heat to be generated.
This heat is advantageous in that it causes a
physical change in the rubber and it becomes soft
and sticky. This translate...

Camus, there were many specific references to the
light, heat, and the suns glare. This theme
continues throughout the entire story. The
intensity of the sun and heat affect Meursault's
emotions, and his extreme sensitivity has an
impact on his behavior. Meursault has a great
awareness of light and temperature, and in each
significant setting of the story, heat and light
play a major role. While the sun has been a source

Global Warming: a True Phenomenon That Threatens
Our Delicate Ecosystem It seemed nothing could

Mediterranean countries in 2005. On contrary, in
March Western European countries were trembling

Fire is Fire 2 Introduction Fire is a topic on
which most people can comment. Fire is a
widespread phenomenon. Most of us have seen fires
in natural vegetation, or their effects; stark,
blackened vegetation or a smoke pall. Because
fires such as these can have damaging economic and
social effects, can spoil forestry timber, can
burn down houses and farms, and can kill people
and animals, there has been a lot written about
wildfires. Added to this wide perception of the
damage that can be caused ...

Global Warming: What Does Our Future Hold? During
the course of the twentieth century, many
environmental scientists have become increasingly
confident that the average global temperature has

environmentally conscious to take a closer look at
the statistics. Periodic global warming

Burning Fossil Fuels Natural Greenhouse Effect
3,312 words
The Greenhouse Effect The greenhouse effect, as
defined in the dictionary, is the effect produced
as greenhouse gases allow incoming solar radiation
to pass through the Earths atmosphere, but prevent
most of the outgoing infrared radiation from the
surface and lower atmosphere from escaping into
outer space. Even though this process occurs
naturally and has kept the Earths temperature
about 60 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than it would
otherwise be, current life on Earth could not be
sustained with...

I-How Does Gears Work? You see gears in just about
everything that has spinning parts. For example,
car engines and transmissions contain lots of
gears. Gears are generally used for one of four
different reasons: 1 - To reverse the direction of
rotation. 2 - To increase or decrease the speed of
rotation. 3 - To move rotational motions to a
different axis. 4 - keep the rotation of two axis
synchronized. Most of the gears you see in real
life have teeth. The teeth have three advantages:

Thermo Regulating Indoor Cabinets Plants

It is hard to believe that some plants produce as
much heat for their weight as birds do, which are
the greatest heat producers of all. It is even
harder to believe that some are able to thermo
regulate, which means that they actually alter
their heat production to keep their temperature
constant in fluctuating air temperatures. This is
similar to what mammals do. The article I am

and how they do it. There are only three plants
