The Destruction Of The Ozone Layer
Number of words: 765 - Number of pages: 3.... monoxide, the ozone molecule is destroyed.
So chlorine monoxide is an ozone destroyer. There is always a certain
amount of chlorine monoxide in the atmosphere.
It is important to remember that ozone is constantly being created and
destroyed in the atmosphere. The amount of ozone in the atmosphere is based
on these reactions. There are many factors that influence the amount of
reactions like season, latitude, and solar cycle. Because of these factors
ozone can vary wildly each day. In the northern latitudes there can be up
to 40% difference than the day before. And in the equator regions, .....

Basic Discription Of Microbiology
Number of words: 1992 - Number of pages: 8.... that are often too small to be seen without the aid of a microscope. Microbes, also known as microorganisms, can be broken down into four classifications that are bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa.
Prescott, Harley & Klein (1990) describe bacteria as prokaryotic cells (cells that lack a true membrane enclosed nucleus). Bacteria are both small and simple in structure; they usually are between o.5 and 5cmm yet they have many characteristic shapes and sizes. Some bacteria are circular or oval shaped, they are known as cocci bacteria. Other bacteria are rod-shaped, they are .....

Reforestation
Number of words: 795 - Number of pages: 3.... true, but it is not. There is one point being overlooked from all of this.
The older, larger trees can store much, much more carbon dioxide than a new tree
could. By cutting and burning these magnificent seasoned trees, the CO2 is
being released back into the atmosphere. These releases of carbon dioxide add
up in our surroundings, only to intensify Global Warming. Although this shows
what happens when one burns and cuts down old forests, one must still plant new
trees for long term plans, not letting them grow for a few years, to then cut
them down.
There are many methods for pla .....

The Big Bang And Steady State Models
Number of words: 1285 - Number of pages: 5.... does not evolve or
change in time. There was no beginning in the past, nor will there be
change in the future. This model assumes the perfect cosmological
principle. This principle says that the universe is the same everywhere on
the large scale, at all times.2 It maintains the same average density of
matter forever.
There are observational evidences found that can prove the Big Bang
model is more reasonable than the Steady State model. First, the redshifts
of distant galaxies. Redshift is a Doppler effect which states that if a
galaxy is moving away, the spectral line of that .....

Little Green Men Or Just Little Microscopic Organisms?
Number of words: 603 - Number of pages: 3.... Microbes and bacteria probably sprouted everywhere in the warm and
wet climate. Although now we only see a cold red planet, which was probably due
to a collision of an astroid that would have set back the evolution process of
Mars, causing it to be a harsh planet. A Viking spacecraft which landed on Mars
in 1976 found that the planet was bathed in ultraviolet radiation, "intense
enough so it would probably fry any microbe we know on this planet,"says Jack
Farmer, an Ames researcher who calls himself an "exopaleontologist"—a searcher
for fossils on other worlds. The redness of Mars .....

Plastic Not Paper
Number of words: 559 - Number of pages: 3.... ¼ of a cent to make, while paper cost close to 3 cents. This is money we
save as well as the store owner. This is a lot of money that is going to
waste considering that plastic bags are so much more practical then paper. You
can use them for lots of other things. You can take on trips to the grocery
store, your can protect dry clothing from wet towels in an exercise bag. You
can line your house hold waste basket with them, you tote dry shoes to work on
rainy days. Hold plastic, aluminum and glass for recycling. Plastic bags are
also very practical to carry. You can carry 5 compared .....

Life On Other Planets?
Number of words: 1748 - Number of pages: 7.... deep sea thermal vents, as well
as bacteria that lives beneath the Earth's icy polar tundra's in the arctic
and Antarctic. George W. Wetherill even notes that “Even if a planet or
moon could not support life globally, each could contain a tiny niche where
life could thrive” (Science News, 328).
What are the most favorable conditions for life to develop? It is
now known that life simply cannot emerge anywhere that does not contain
water. It is mostly preferred that this water exists in liquid form, but
there are possibilities that life can form in freezing as well as boiling
conditions. .....

Acid Rain
Number of words: 1940 - Number of pages: 8.... planet. The problem was that by the time that the
scientist 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 rive .....

Cheetah 2
Number of words: 374 - Number of pages: 2.... animal in existence. I also found that it’s
habitat is in the grassy plains of Africa. This is definitely a great place for it to hide based on it’s coat color. It is because of this combination of tall grass and camouflage coat which allows the cheetah to stalk and catch
it’s prey. These usually consist of gazelles, wild boar, or pretty much any
animal it can handle. However, the regular range for it’s food is about 88
pounds. The cheetah then drags the meat to it’s “home”, away from prying animals, and feasts on it immediately.
The cheetah is a very interesting, so .....
