Soil Erosion Human Actions
1,131 wordsSoil erosion is a gradual process that occurs when the actions of water, wind, and other factors eat away and wear down the land, causing the soil to deteriorate or disappear completely. Soil deterioration and low quality of water due to erosion and run off has often become a severe problem around the world. Many times the problems become so severe that the land can no longer be cultivated and is abandoned. The key to minimizing soil erosion and saving the farm lands is the farmer himself. Ultim...

In the USA, soil has recently been eroded at about 17 times the rate at which it forms: about 90 % of US cropland is currently losing soil above the sustainable rate. Soil erosion rates in Asia, Africa and South America are estimated to be about twice as high as in the USA. FAO estimates that 140 million ha of high quality soil, mostly in Africa and Asia...

Carbon Dioxide Plant Growth
835 wordsSoil, superficial covering of most of the earths land area; an aggregation of unconsolidated mineral and organic particles produced by the combined action of wind, water, and organic decay. Soils vary widely from place to place. The chemical composition and physical structure of the soil at any given location are determined by the kind of geologic material from which it originates, by the vegetation cover, by the length of time that the soil has been weathered, by the topography, and by artifici...

Organic Compounds Soil Particles
1,280 wordsH 2 > Introduction to Septic Systems The septic system is a grouping of components working together to decompose household waste water. The septic tank holds the waste and breaks the organic compounds into a solid, liquid or gas. The solid waste (called sludge) settles to the bottom of the tank and must periodically be removed. The liquid waste is flushed to the distribution box and is then allowed to drain into the ground through a series of perforated pipes (often called lines or a leac...

Factors affecting the translocation of bacteria include bacterial numbers in the effluent, soil texture, soil wetness, loading rate, temperature, and bacterial type. Unsaturated flow beneath a drain field is important in ensuring slow travel, long residence time for bacteria, good aeration, increased opportunity for contact between effluent and soil particles, adsorption of bacteria to soil particles, and eventual die-off of bacteria. W...

Western United States Sulfur Dioxide And Nitrogen
1,519 wordsAcid rain is polluted rain. The pollutants go up to the atmosphere and when it rains it brings the pollution down with it. Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide are the gases that form the acid rain. When these gases mix with moisture it can make rain, snow, hail, or even fog. The scientific term for acid rain is acid deposition which means when the acid is taken from the air and is deposited on the earth. Major industries, coal burning factories, power plants and automobile engines are the main sou...

Tucker distinguished three principle types of termites in Florida, they are: (they nest in the soil), dogwood termites (they infest dry wood) and damp wood (they infest damp wood). And subterranean termites were defined by the researchers as the most destructive and frequently encountered kind of termite found throughout the state. The chapters that are ...

Baking Soda Hydrogen Ions
2,207 wordsHow pH of Soil affects a Plants Growth For the experimental aspect of the research report, four sets of two plants are to be studied. They must either be checked according to size for the same height, or started from seed to ensure equality. Two identical sets of roses are to be cultivated, as well as two sets of corn plants. The flora must all be given the same amount of water and sunlight each day. The only variable to be changed is pH. One of each set will be planted in the acidic soil, and o...

Amount Of Light Attract Attention
4,755 wordsAcquiring Good Seeds Quality seed strains are often difficult to obtain. This is especially true for people who hang in a predominantly straight crowd and know few people who partake in the fine erb. The rule of thumb is if the weed gets you pretty high then the seed is usually good to grow. Seeds coming from green bud are often better to grow because the strain is frequently acclimated to the growing season of northern latitudes. Jamaican and Colombian varieties can not be easily produced in no...
