Road Salt And The Environment
1,465 words
As awareness for pollution increases, other less
noticed types of pollution are recognized. Almost
everyone knows about toxic waste and carbon
dioxide pollution, but not many people have heard
of salt pollution. Salt pollution has been on the
increase since the evolution of the automobile.
With more pressure on government agencies to keep
the highway clear and safe, an increase in the use
of salt has developed. It is important to
understand why salt is used and how it work as
well as the environ...

Day After Day Dark Green
1,427 words
"The sun flared down on the growing corn day after
day until a line of brown spread along the edge of
each green bayonet, so the earth became pale, pink
in the red country and white in the gray country.
In the water-cut gullies the earth dusted down in
dry little streams. Gophers and ant lions started
small avalanches. And as the sharp sun struck day
after day, the leaves of the young corn became
less stiff and erect; they bent in a curve at
first, and then, as the central ribs of strength
grew ...

World War Ii Environmental Impacts
1,308 words
Should we be concerned with the extensive use of
pesticides by farmers? I believe we should be
aware of the consequences of pesticide use. The
more we are exposed to pesticides, the greater the
risk there is to the environment and our health.
They are responsible for many environmental
problems such as water pollution, soil
degradation, and insect resistance. I will look at
all the environmental impacts caused by pesticide
use. But what led to the rise of the use of
pesticides? Tremendous increa...

Chew Their Cud Clean Or Unclean Creatures
1,020 words
Leviticus 11 is dealing with the subject of
cleanness and uncleanness, specifically, with the
subject of clean and unclean foods. The word
"clean " has a lot of different meanings today
depending upon the context in which it is used.
For one thing, the expression clean and its
counterpoint unclean is one of the prominent
themes of Leviticus. Unclean and its cognates
occurs 132 times in the Old Testament; over half
of these are in Leviticus. So the sense of
uncleanness is a predominate theme, and...

Common Vampire Bats Common Vampire Bat Species

Bats. Usually the first thing to enter a persons
mind when they hear this word is Scary, vicious,
rats with wings. But bats arent really like that
at all. That image was just created by Hollywood
in their attempt to frighten others. Bats are
apart of a whole different order than the rodent.
There are approximately 1, 100 species of bats in
the world, which is about twenty percent of all
mammal species. The two main species are the
megabits and the microbes. Examples of two species

Sexual Organs Living Creatures

At some point during your youth, your parents
probably took you aside and after several minutes
of blushing and throat-clearing gave you the
Reader's Digest version of the birds and bees.
(The folks apparently never realized that you had
learned about sex in far more detail several years
earlier from a friend in your preschool finger
painting class. ) But just what did we learn about
the actual birds and bees, not to mention the
thousands of other species of animals that share
the Earth with us?...

Burning Sensation North America

The "Fire Ant" is one of the most feared migratory
arthropods in North America. The first non-native
species was introduced into the Port of Mobile,
Alabama, starting in 1919, through soil ballast,
from South American ships, being dumped ashore.
The black fire ant (Solenopsis richter Forel)
arrived sometime in 1919, and the red fire ant
(Solenopsis invicta Buren) sometime in the late
1930 's; both much more aggressive and harsh than
their two sister species of fire ants, the
Tropical fire ant (S...

Cricket Deterrents Lab Experiment Science Project

Insects have been a nuisance to man since the
beginning of time, up until the present. One of
the plagues that struck Egypt was swarms of
crickets, and locusts, which destroyed crops, and
ate entire fields. Swarms of Crickets can cover up
to 210 km. There have been cases of up to 100,
000, 000, 000 insects in a swarm (one hundred
billion). In these huge masses, they can
completely destroy the land and everything on a

Indian Animal Has Any Sense Animal Has Any Sense Wasp

'Pretty dear, ' Mrs. Moore gently refers to the
wasp that she spots resting on the indoor cloak
peg (Forster, 35). Instead of encouraging the wasp
to rest elsewhere, Mrs. Moore, the idealized
Englishwoman of the novel, sympathizes with the
insect and says, 'Perhaps he mistook the peg for a
branch - no Indian animal has any sense of an
interior... insects will as soon nest inside a
house as out; it is to them a normal growth of the
eternal jungle... ' (Forster, 35). It is
interesting that Forster...

insect. To most people it is just a pest. To many
insects, it is a source of food. In many ways the

beneficial. The fly has a head, thorax, and
abdomen. It is furry with big compound eyes. Its 2
wings are so thin you can see the veins in them.

Sentenced To Death Loved Tom

Stephen King is a very well known writer who wrote
many best-selling books. He wrote both horror and
drama books, but even the drama books seemed to
have a disturbing edge to them. Stephen Kings mind
is probably very twisted yet very interesting
judging by the stories he wrote. His creativity
probably came from his childhood. As a child he
grew up on a farm, giving him lots of time to use
his imagination. His creativity started as a
child. He would often play cruel pranks on his
brother that wou...
