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...

Global Warming Is A Serious Issue That Should Have
Immediate Attention As Vice President Al Gore has
said about the threat of global warming, it is
"the most serious problem our civilization faces"
(2). It has become quite an issue internationally
because of the threat of increasing greenhouse
gasses. It is these gasses, when released into the
air, accumulate and then trap the heat inside our
atmosphere. Our climate is greatly affected by
this. Therefore, affecting all of the organisms on
earth,...

the climate is subtropical, and from about 7500 to
10, 000 ft it is temperate. Above about 10, 000 ft

Rate Of Reaction Carbon Dioxide

... onward sources, from a textbook, encyclopedia,
and preliminary work that I have done in class. I
have shown my results on a bar chart and a line
graph. On the line graph, I have drawn a curve of
best-fit. There were no anomalous results. From my
results, and my graph, I have found out that as
the temperature of the enzymes (yeast in this
case) is increased, the rate of reaction speeds
up. However, when the temperature reached a
certain point, (about 40 degrees Celsius), the
enzymes became de...

Walther Human Nernst was born in Briesen, West
Prussia, on June 25, 1864. His father, Gustav
Nernst, was a district judge. He spent his early
school years at Graudentz, and subsequently went
to the Universities of Zurich, Berlin and Graz,
study physics and mathematics, before proceeding
to Wurzburg, where he graduated in 1887 with a
thesis on electromotive forces produced by
magnetism in heated metal plates. He joined

Lava Flows Shield Volcanoes
1,961 words
A volcano is a mountain or hill formed by the
accumulation of materials erupted through one or
more openings in the earth's surface. Most
volcanoes have steep sides but sometimes they can
slope down or even be flat. The volcanoes above
sea level are the best known, but the most
volcanoes lie beneath the sea, formed along the
global oceanic ridge. Volcanic eruptions in
populated regions are a significant threat to
people, property, and agriculture. The danger is
mostly from fast-moving, hot flows...

Title: Examining Some Properties of the Enzyme
-amylase In this experiment a deeper meaning in
the catalysts of reactions is studied. Catalysts
accelerate chemical reactions without permanently
changing the reaction. Enzymes, catalysts in
biochemical reactions, are globular proteins which
lower the activation energy needed to begin a
reaction and therefore increase the rate at which
efficient reactions can occur. Proteins
(henceforth enzymes) are complex molecules made of
amino acids in polypept...

Global Warming A Deadly Threat For Human Life
1,510 words
Global warming is one of the major environmental
issues facing the world today. Global warming
refers to an average increase in the Earth's
temperature, which in turn causes changes in
climate. An increase in the temperature of the
Earths surface may lead to changes in rainfall
patterns, a rise in sea level, and a wide range of
impacts on plants, wildlife, and humans. One cause
for Global Warming is called the Greenhouse
Effect. The Greenhouse Effect results from a four
step process. First, sunl...

combustion they probably think of simple just
bursting into flames; and for carbon dioxide you
probably think of what we breath out and what
plants take from the air and turn to oxygen. Even

not think of about combustion are, mathematical

Abstract: The Enzyme Report Enzyme Activity
Abstract: The purpose of this experiment is to
test the effects of different sugar types with pH
and temperatures. We are testing to see if there
is a difference in reaction and reaction time when
placed into different temperature and pH. We are
looking for changes in color, solidity, reaction
time, etc. My hypothesis is that at different
temperatures and amounts of pH, there will we
different reactions. Introduction: The overview of
these experiments ...

Essay Global Warming Global Warming Essay written
by Dave Sanford What is global warming, and how is
it affecting the Earth and its inhabitants? Global
Warming is sometimes referred to as the greenhouse
effect. The greenhouse effect is the absorption of
energy radiated from the Earths surface by carbon
dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere, causing
the atmosphere to become warmer. The greenhouse
effect is what is causing the temperature on the
Earth to rise, and creating many problems that

Effects Of Global Warming Carbon Dioxide
1,531 words
Global warming is the heating of the earth. This
heating occurs because of the greenhouse effect.
The greenhouse effect is when carbon dioxide and
other gases (methane and nitrous oxide) trap
energy from the sun in our atmosphere. Most of the
energy we receive from the sun is absorbed by the
surface of the earth. Some of the energy is
reflected and would normally exit our atmosphere;
however, carbon dioxide absorbs this energy and it
remains in our atmosphere. The more carbon dioxide
in the atmo...

Is it hot in here, or is it just me? That? s the
question young Billy asked himself one
excruciatingly hot day. The air was thick with
humidity and the sweat poured off him like the
rain of a heavy spring downpour as he delivered
his mid-day papers in his hometown of Seattle.
Normally, he would not have thought twice about
this kind of heat. Normally, it isn? t 90 degrees
in April. This isn? t a far-fetched idea cooked up
by a lone scientist pouring over minute data. This
could be a reality. The...

Pierre Janssen discovered helium in the sun in
1868. Janssen originally thought it was sodium,
but Joseph Norman Lockyer noticed that it didnt
correspond to the D 1 and D 2 lines of sodium. He
named it the D 3 line. Lockyer said that the
element D 3 was unknown on Earth. He and Edward
Franklin concluded on the name Helios after the
Greek god of the sun. Helium is found everywhere
in space. All natural gases have at least a little
bit helium in them. ...

Ozone The problem which I decided to adress in my
campaign was the problems that are currently
facing our Earths ozone layer and breathable air.
In this report I wish to educate you about the
effects of ozone and hopefully I will motivate you
to change your attitudes and actions to help with
the problem. Ozone is defined as an odorless,
colorless gas made up of three atoms of oxygen. It
exists in our Earths upper atmosphere and at
ground level. In the upper atmosphere, ozone

exactly what it sounds like; the warming of the
Earths temperature. There are many explanations
and theories about why global warming is occurring
in our world. The atmosphere lets in heat that
