Myths And Legends Oxygen Atoms
878 wordsIn certain polar regions of the earth, a rare and fascinating phenomenon occurs in the dark season of winter. This phenomenon is called the Northern Lights, or auroras. In areas where auroras can be seen, the sun shines brightly for six months and then disappears for the next six. The sun follows a straight path across the sky, rising in the north and setting in the south. This is because of the latitude of these regions. Unlike other regions of earth, the polar regions either completely face th...

Acid Rain Air Pollution
457 wordsA form of air pollution, currently a subject of controversy because of widespread environmental damage it has been blamed. It forms when oxides of sulfur and nitrogen combine with atmospheric moisture to make sulfuric and nitric acids, which then can be carried long distances from their source before they are released by rain. The pollution may also take the form of snow or fog or be precipitated in dry forms. One large area that has been studied extensively is northern Europe, where acid rain h...

Alpha Particles Nuclear Physics
758 wordsErnest Rutherford was born in New Zealand in 1871 as one of 12 children. It was Rutherford who first "split" an atom and who discovered the atomic "nucleus", a name that he invented. For this he is regarded as the greatest experimental physicist of his time. Rutherford was one of the first and most important researchers in nuclear physics. Soon after the discovery of radioactivity in 1986 by the French physicist Antoine Henri Becquerel, Rutherford discovered the three different types of radiatio...

Nuclear Reaction Naked Eye
1,061 wordsSTARS A star is a large celestial body composed of gravitationally contained hot gases giving off electromagnetic radiation, especially light. The sun is actually a star. Unlike the sun the stars seem to be fixed, but in fact stars are in rapid motion, but their distances are so great no relative changes can be seen with the naked eye. The sun is a typically star, with a visible surface called a photosphere, which an atmosphere of hot gases, and above them an outlawing stream of particles called...

Countries In The World Carbon Monoxide
1,085 wordsSection A: Declining Air Quality The declining air quality can be held responsible for many things such as city smog and the greenhouse effect. Such problems are very definite in America since they are one of the top airpollutantcreating countries in the world. The original list of air pollutants created by US industries was made up of arsenic, asbestos, benzene, beryllium, coke oven emissions, mercury, radionuclides (radioactive isotopes), and vinyl chloride. In the 1990 s this list was expande...

Clean Air Act Nitrogen Oxide
721 wordsUrban Environmental Science A human being breathes 16 times a minute, 960 times an hour, almost 8. 5 million times a year. With each breath, he or she inhales hundreds of airborne substances. The nature of these substances is partially formed by the human activity. For those who live in cities, many of those substances are pollutants that increases the risk of respiratory problems and cancer. Smog reduces lung capacity and decreases the body's ability to fight infection. Soot causes bronchitis, ...

Cystic Fibrosis Degrees Celsius
1,143 wordsCryogenics is a largely growing field, relatively innovative in the field of science and research. It deals with freezing temperatures below 150 degrees Celsius (- 238 degrees Fahrenheit) using oxygen, helium I, helium II (which are both are chemically identical), and nitrogen. These are cooled to the point of liquidation and used to freeze diverse materials and substances. At these extreme conditions, such properties of materials as strength, thermal conductivity, ductility and electrical resis...

Environmental Protection Agency Ozone Depletion
1,137 wordsThe ozone layer diminishes more each year. As the area of polar ozone depletion (commonly called the ozone hole) gets larger, additional ultraviolet rays are allowed to pass through. These rays cause cancer, cataracts, and lowered immunity to diseases. 1 What causes the depletion of the ozone layer? In 1970, Crutzen first showed that nitrogen oxides produced by decaying nitrous oxide from soil-borne microbes react catalytically with ozone hastening its depletion. His findings started research on...

Amino Acids Fatty Acids
807 wordsToday, weve realised that the very first life on Earth was indeed originated from abiotic surroundings. In fact, organic molecules have been successfully generated from abiotic elements by scientists To understand how this creation of life from abiotic material occured, we have to consider a critical idea. Life originated from its abiotic surroundings. Thus, it is important for us to learn about the physical and chemical environments of the primitive Earth. The atmosphere of primitive Earth cons...

Nobel Prize Chemical Warfare
1,486 wordsThe name Fritz Haber has long been associated with the well-known process of synthesizing ammonia from its elements. While primarily known for developing a process which ultimately relieved the world of dependence on Chilean ammonia, this twentieth century Nobel prize winner was also involved in the varying fortunes of Germany in World War I and in the rise to power of the Nazi regime. Haber was born on December 9, 1868 in Prussia. He was the son of a prosperous German chemical merchant and work...
