Acid Rain
Number of words: 1940 | Number of pages: 8

... found the problem it was already very large. Detecting an acid lake is often quite difficult. A lake does not become acid over night. It happens over a period of many years, some times decades. The changes are usually to gradual for them to be noticed early. At the beginning of the 20th century most rivers/lakes like the river Tovdal in Norway had not yet begun to die. However by 1926 local inspectors were noticing that many of the lakes were beginning to show signs of death. Fish were found dead along the banks of many rivers. As the winters ice began to melt off more and more hundreds upon hundreds more dead fish (trout in particular) were being found. It was at this ti ...

Saturn
Number of words: 954 | Number of pages: 4

... is an extensive, clear hydrogen-helium atmosphere. Data on the internal heat flux, the detailed gravity field, and the observed upper-atmosphere hydrogen-helium ratio satisfy a model of the interior where the ratio of hydrogen to helium decreases with depth. The gas density gradually increases downward and the gas transforms into a liquid. Further down the pressures increase to a critical level, and there the hydrogen becomes metallic. A small core of silicate material probably exists at the center. The Saturnian atmosphere is characterized by counterflowing easterly and westerly jet streams that, at the equator, reach a speed of 480 m/sec relative to the clouds at 40 degrees latitude. ...

Neptune
Number of words: 943 | Number of pages: 4

... helium, water and methane. The atmospheric composition is 85% Hydrogen, 13% Helium, and 2% methane. The planet's atmosphere, particularly the outer layers, contains substantial amounts of methane gas. Absorption of red light by the atmospheric methane is responsible for Neptune's deep blue color. Neptune is a dynamic planet with several large, dark spots reminiscent of Jupiter's hurricane-like storms. The largest spot, known as the Great Dark Spot, is about the size of the earth and is similar to the Great Red Spot on Jupiter. Neptune receives less than half as much sunlight as Uranus, but heat escaping from its interior makes Neptune slightly warmer than Uranus. The heat liberated m ...

Theory And Research

... reliability. News Article Summary This article entitled "Horatio Alger lives" is basically a survey correlation study done on two distinct social classes; sons of wealthy fathers and sons of lower income fathers. The goal in this research was to determine which sons of the two distinct social groups mentioned, were to likely make more money in the future. Therefore, they surveyed 400,000 males age 16 and 19 that was still living with their fathers. After the eleven year period the same groups of men were again surveyed, and their incomes was correlated with their fathers. The research revealed that overall sons of wealthy fathers was more likely to earn higher salaries than their da ...

The Periodic Table
Number of words: 340 | Number of pages: 2

... those on the right are acid-forming. Those in between can be either. They have so-called amphoteric oxides and hydroxides that can act like acids or bases. 's arrangement also divides the elements into metallic and nonmetallic kinds. A distinction is usually made between most pure metals and nonmetals according to physical and chemical properties. Another virtue of is that it is universal. No matter where it is used any scientist can understand it.It is an universal language in which makes it much easier for different scientists to understand. has many virtues. Some of which I explained in the paragraphs above.The elements of are classified into groups or tables therefore making it mor ...

B E C: The New Phase Of Matter
Number of words: 383 | Number of pages: 2

... which makes it accessible to physics labs around the world. The next step is to test the new phase of matter. We do not know yet if it absorbs, reflects,or refracts light. BEC is related to superconductivity and may unlock some mysteries of why some minerals are able to conduct electricity without resistance. The asymmetrical pattern of BEC is is thought by some astrophysicists to explain the bumpy distribution of matter in the early universe, a distribution that eventually led to the formation of galaxies. Physicists are working on creating an atom laser, using new technology derived from the BEC. The new lasers would be able to create etchings finer than those that etch silicon chip ...

Nuclear Weapons
Number of words: 1995 | Number of pages: 8

... as: sources of energy or to keep a person's heart beating. We did begin to produce more plutonium but the majority of the substance was used towards our nuclear weapons programs. Along with reactors, sometimes comes a meltdown which can cause harmful effects if it isn't controlled quickly enough. After such instances as the Hanford, Washington reactor meltdown and the accident in the U.S.S.R. at the Chernobyl site, no one wanted to hear about the use of plutonium. The United States government banned nuclear testing and also ended the production of plutonium. (Ref. 5) Now we are in a dilemma. We are in need of our future sources of energy to power our nation. We are running out ...

The Human Cloning Controversy
Number of words: 1356 | Number of pages: 5

... The answer is no. Should scientists be able to make a headless human? (body parts) Yes, as long as no law exists banning headless humans. Before going into this controversy, some background about what has happened in cloning would be useful. Two astonishing feats have been achieved in the scientific world. One is the cloning of a sheep named Dolly, and the other is the development of headless frog embryos. Dolly was cloned in Edinburgh, Scotland, at the Roslin Institute in July 1996. The headless frog embryos were manufactured in London, England, in October 1997 (this didn't get the same amount of press attention as Dolly). Not only were the time frames different between the cloned ...

Modernization Of Computers
Number of words: 544 | Number of pages: 2

... and an electronic suit. Fastened tothe suit are sensors, which send information to the main computer. Thiscomputer works with the data and displays them on the electronic spectacles. This is a technique which use three-dimentional views, therefore the scenery seems incredibly realistic. If you want to be a boxer, simply change thescenery on the main computer, and you are in the ring.Today, many kids have got video games. You could say these games are thepresent's answer to ludo and monopoly. In a way, it is a great advantage thatthe kids are being presented to computors at an early age, because they willdefinitely have to use them later, when they start to work. In the future therewill be ...

The Future Of NASA

... of the Earth's atmosphere. It is used, on Earth, for those who's hearts have problems with pumping blood. Pens that write upside-down are used in space, where there is no gravity and writing with pens would otherwise be impossible. They are convenient tools on Earth when we are trying to write on vertical surfaces. A zero-gravity training system is used to help astronauts become more comfortable with the conditions in space. It is used in places such as Sportsland, for kids to twirl around in. In the future, telephones with picture screens, much like those used to see astronauts in space with, will become common on Earth. Rooms with no gravity may become a part of amusement par ...
