In this essay I am going to discuss Rutherford's
impact on science and nuclear energy. Also share
some of my opinions about the usage of nuclear
power. Ernest Rutherford was a physicist and a
Nobel Prize winner in chemistry. He became known
as the father of nuclear physics. He is best known
for being the first man to split the atom and the
discovery of the proton. Another important fact
about Rutherford's scientific career was that he
mentored 9 students who went onto win Nobel Prizes

This affects Canada a great deal because then the
government has to regulate how much energy and
gases can be used. Industrial, transportation,
electrical and fossil fuel productions had the
highest cases of emission gas releases in nineteen
ninety-seven. Since the issue of the Kyoto
Protocol, Canada is trying to cut down emission
gases by twenty-six percent. Even recently, the
Canadian government has put together an action
plan so that they use renewable and alternative
sources of energy that w...

Source Of Energy Problem Of Global Warming

... one saying goes - the gust of wind, created by
the sway of butterfly's wings, can develop into a
storm. At the same time, it opens a theoretical
possibility for us to influence weather, for as
long as we know all weather-inducing variables.
There is also another way of achieving greater
reliability of wind harvesting, as the source of
energy. The article Wind Power Gathers Speed,
which can be found on the site of Australian
Academy of Science, gives us an insight on how it

large cities, economic development, and
industrialization. Besides polluting air our
civilizations creates noise pollution unwanted,

Coral reef Coral reefs are arguably the world s
most beautiful habitats. Coral reefs have been
called the rainforests of the oceans, because of
the rich diversity of life they support.
Scientists have not yet finished counting the
thousands of different species of plants and
animals that use or live in the coral reef. There
are three types of coral reefs: fringing reefs,
barrier reefs, and atolls. Fringing reefs are
located close to shore, separated from land by
only shallow water. Barrier reefs...

The report that you are about to read is about
coral reefs, their habitats, and the problems that
they are facing. I chose coral reefs for my
project because I have always been interested in
marine biology, and I am a fan of the ocean as
well. As what you are about to read explains,
coral reefs are in danger of extinction.
Hopefully, man will realize what he has done to
them and decide to take care of and protect them.

Evironmentalism: The Next Step Broad Social Change
Through Personal Commitment Introduction In the
last thirty years, America has witnessed an
environmental revolution. New laws like the 1963
Clean Air Act and the 1974 Safe Drinking Water Act
forged new ground in political environmentalism.

Dennis Hayes in 1970, and the beginning of
large-scale recycling, marked by Oregon's 1972

caused the earth to warm by about one degree
Fahrenheit since the late 19 th century. Whether
these activities were essential or superfluous,
the effects on and surrounding Earth are
multitudinous. For example, a warmer Earth could

universe. We use energy to do work. Energy lights
our cities. Energy powers our vehicles, trains,
planes and rockets. Energy warms our homes, cooks
our food, plays our music, gives us pictures on
television. Energy powers machinery in factories.
Energy is defined as the ability to do work. When
we eat, our bodies transform the food into energy
to do work. When we run or walk, we burn food
energy in our bodies. When we think or read or

Carbon dioxide has been rising in the atmosphere
throughout time. Recently though, the levels of
carbon dioxide have been increasing at a more
alarming rate. The cause of this is a direct
result of man? s burning of fossil fuels. We know
that every action we make, as humans, will have
some effect on the environment around us and those
effects can be either good or bad. The rising
levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere may
potentially inflict some negative effects on our
environment. The term...

Carbon Dioxide Ozone Layer

In environmental science the green house effect is
a common term for the role water vapor; carbon
dioxide and ozone play in keeping the earths
surface warmer than it would normally be. The
atmosphere is primarily transparent to infrared
radiation from the sun, which is mostly absorbed
by the earths surface. The earth being much cooler
than the sun, remits radiation most strongly at
infrared wavelengths. Water vapor, carbon dioxide
and ozone then absorb much of this radiation and
remit a large pr...
