Ozone Depletion Ultraviolet Radiation
624 words
If all the ice in Antarctica melted, it would
raise the level of the world's oceans by over 200
feet (60 meters). The possibility of this
happening in the near term is not seriously
considered by scientists, for the Antarctic icecap
is currently believed to be in equilibrium.
However, meteorologists studying the ramifications
of global warming and the greenhouse effect expect
there to be a decrease in sea levels in the short
term -- a matter of decades -- of about 2
millimeters per year. This wi...

Every thing present in this universe is a part of
environment including ourselves. Whether they are
animals, living thing, or nonliving things. All of
the external factors affecting an organism. These
factors may be other living organisms (biotic
factors) or nonliving variables (abiotic factors),
such as water, soil, climate, light, and oxygen.
All interacting biotic and abiotic factors
together make up an ecosystem. Organisms and their
environment constantly interact, and both are
changed by th...

Atomic Bomb Prime Minister

My name is Tomataki Amuro. Fortunately, I'm one of
the few survivors after the most terrible weapon,
the Atomic Bomb, had dropped on the city of
Hiroshima. It was a horrible piece of memory. I
wish I have not been born at that time. It was a
nightmare for the people in Hiroshima. The Bomb
affected the whole generation of people. It even
affected our next generation. Thousands of babies
were born handicapped or died after a few months
after their births. Because their mothers absorbed
too much ra...

Lower Layered Clouds Clouds Are Layered Clouds Fog
471 words
1. There are five types of fog to be found. There
is radiation fog which is the cooling of air to
dew point by longwave radiation loss and is
considered to be a diabetic process (involving the
addition of, or removal of heat). This fog
develops when the loss of longwave radiation
during the night causes cooling to the dew point.
This is most likely to occur on cloudless nights.
Another type of fog is advection fog that is the
cooling of air to dew point as it passes over cool
surfaces. This fog ...

aptitude for study and a great thirst for
knowledge; however, advanced study was not
possible for women in Poland. Marie dreamed of

Tons Of Tnt Power Of One
1,426 words
The detonation of a single nuclear bomb or
"warhead" would cause a local disaster on a scale
that few people in the world have seen and
survived. However, it should not be confused with
the effects of a nuclear war, in which many
nuclear bombs would be exploded. That would cause
the end of civilization in the countries
concerned, and perhaps over the whole world, as
well as radioactive contamination of whole
continents, and terrible damage to the environment
and ecology. The effect of a single b...

Gas And Dust Billions Of Years
1,652 words
Our lives are intimately linked to the stars, but
in ways much more down to earth than the romantic
views of them. As we all know, our sun is a star
and the thermonuclear reactions that are
continuously taking place inside it are what
provide and sustain life on our planet. What do we
get from the sun? We get carbon, oxygen, calcium
and iron, courtesy of stars that disappeared
billions of years ago (Naeye, 1998). Star
formation is a study in contradictions because the
formation of a star begins ...

Force Of Gravity Gravitational Pull
1,033 words
There are many theories predicting how the
universe will end. These theories are based on one
four basic principles. The first principle being
that the universe continues in an endless cycle.
The next is that the universe will stay at its
current size. The third is the universe will
continue to expand endlessly. The final principle,
states that the universe will collapse on itself.
The first theory is based on the fact that the
universe is oscillating. The universe currently is
expanding outward...

Greenhouse Gases Global Warming
1,471 words
Global warming is not a myth it is a fact. It has
been proven that the temp has gone up in the last
2 decades. Yes, it is possible to stop it and even
fix it. At the rate we are going it will be the
same as it was in 1980 by 2050. Yes I think that
global warming is a fact to be reckoned with. But
I agree with both sides because both are right
each in their own way. It is proven that the earth
has been cooling down over the last 6, 000 years
since the Holocene Maximum. That is a fact! But
there a...

Radio Telescopes Radio Waves

... copes Orbiting telescopes are used to observe
the ultraviolet (UV), far infrared, and X-ray
portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The
Infrared Astronomical Satellite, placed in orbit
in 1983, carried a 22. 5 -inch infrared telescope.
Because all matter emits infrared radiation if
warm, technologists had to cool the telescope to
near absolute zero with liquid helium so its
internal heat radiation would not mask radiation
it was collecting from deep space objects. Among
its many discoverie...

Cooling Rate Of Coffee

Experiments to Determine the Cooling Rate of
Coffee, when Milk should be Added and what

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

Make Them Visible Crime Scene Powder

Fingerprints are one of the most important things
that link a suspect with a crime scene. Even
though that fingerprints are not always left by a
criminal, the crime scene should still be examined
for them. All people have distinct friction ridges
on the skin of the fingers. In leaving an
impression, an outline of the ridges is
transferred and duplicated by oil, sweat and other
substances on the object handled. The impression
is usually not visible. Fingerprints not visible
are called latent prin...

Gamma Rays Weak Points

Gamma Rays are Waves on the electromagnetic
Spectrum that have a Wavelength of 10 or Higher
and 11 down. Gamma Rays are produced in labs
through the process of nuclear collision and also
through the artificial Radioactivity that
accompanies these interactions. The high energy
nuclei needed for the collisions are accelerated
by such devices such as the Cyclotron and
synchrotron. There are also many uses for Gamma
rays in Medicine. Gamma Rays are used in medicine
to kill and treat certain types of...

Humankind is conducting an ongoing experiment to
see what will happen to our health and to the well
being of the planet when changes in the earths
climate are made. This experiment is called global

warming is the increasing temperature of the
earths climate, which is expected to warm even
further because of human activities that include
the burning of fossil fuels to run cars and

Ultraviolet Rays Uv Rays

The ozone layer shields the earth from most of the
harmful radiation and light comming from the sun.
The ozone reflects and absorbs the ultraviolet
rays that try to come in. Without this kind of
protection, all living things will be effected by
these UV rays. Skin cancer develops in most living
mammals as a cause of an overabundance of the suns
ultraviolet rays. The ozone layer is located in
the earths stratosphere. The ozone layer is
located from about fifteen-to-thirty kilometers
above the ear...

Greenhouse Gasses Carbon Dioxide

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...

Greenhouse Effect When one starts a car or burns
wood, the last thought on their mind is the
consequences to these actions. Unfortunately, the
daily dangers to earth are not widely know. Due to
the constant change of society, this planet must
cope with various problems. One of the most
important ecological structures is the ozone
layer. The same shield that protects us from the
suns deadly radiation, can also act as a blanket
engulfing us in heat. This situation is know as
