Topic B: Ocean acidification and coral reefs Introduction • Ocean acidification is a reduction in the pH of the water in the ocean as a result of increased carbon dioxide uptake in the ocean due to humans burning fossil fuels at such a high rate. • Unless drastic changes are made in regards to CO2 emissions, the rate of ocean acidification is projected to significantly increase over the next century. It is currently estimated that without any changes the pH of the oceans will be 7.8 by 2100 (…

Now that I finally had my Costa Rican money in hand, I was prepared to start the ten day adventure. Although I could not understand the energetic conversations all around me, I could tell that people were happy. It was such an infectious feeling. We pushed through the glass doors, the atmosphere from inside the airport, to just a few steps outside was so different. The Costa Rican sun kissed my pale-skinned cheeks, and the chatter of people could be heard. Natives were yelling out, “Pura Vida,”…

Organic food is better than conventional food for many reasons. First, the conventional food has a big size, and it remains for long time. For example, conventional food will not get expire quickly. It could remain 2 times more the organic food. Conventional food such as crops gives a more quantity than organic food. It might be true that conventional is bigger and remains long time. However, Organic food does not have chemicals and Genetic engineering. Chemicals have a strong effect on…

whenever two chemicals react together you can’t lose any of the atoms. So lets say you have a chemical reaction of H2O + NaCl, which is water and table salt, it could go to NaH2 +ClO, but it can’t lose any of the atoms it started with or gain any new ones. The Law of Conservation of Mass governs how a chemical reaction happens because if the chemical reaction of water and table salt happened and it lost a hydrogen atom, it could make something completely different and the physical properties…

Crop and livestock production is a major source of two greenhouse gases, methane and nitrous oxide. The latter is produced by the leaching, volatilization and runoff of nitrogen fertilizers and the breakdown of crop residues and animal wastes. Through burning of biomass, agriculture also releases large quantities of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Agriculture also stands to suffer adversely from climatic change. In tropical environments the effects of climate change on agriculture and hence…

cutting the roots of the Eelgrass,while they are digging for prey in the sediment or making burrows.This a huge negative impact because Eelgrass has many valuable ecological functions such as stabilizing shorelines and sea floor ground,cleaning coastal waters, providing habitat for a diversity of flora and fauna, and supporting the foundation a food web.this means many species lose their home,protection and…

Menu Name: elastomeric roof coatings Article Summary: A water proof and flexible surface coating will prolong the life and improve the appearance of some roofs. Article: Roofs protect buildings, contents and people from the elements. What people may not realize is that many roofs themselves also need protection. Many variables, such as materials used, quality of construction and climate, determine how to keep a roof from deteriorating prematurely. New Orleans roofing professionals can…

Rain is much more than weather in literature. In Julia Alvarez’s In the Time of the Butterflies, rain is used to symbolize a time of trouble and confusion that has washed over the country, but the destructive element of the weather is also used to symbolize the new start that is to come for the Dominican Republic. In Minerva’s chapter six, a large section of the chapter is titled “Rainy Spell.” When Minerva says “The rain comes down all morning, beating against the shutters, blurring the sounds…

Global warming is turning into a huge problem today. Oil spills are happening, more and more pollution is being put into the air and causing problems with the ecosystem. Citizens see that this is evolving more and more each day and the government is just ignoring it for “bigger problems”. The ocean is being polluted and millions of dollars are spent almost every year trying to fix it the problem temporarily. The Democrats would like to fix all these environmental problems but they need to pass…
