Acid Rain
Number of words: 3390 - Number of pages: 13

.... of sulfuric and nitric acids fall to the earth as . Water moves through every living plant and animal, streams, lakes, and oceans in the hydrologic cycle. In that cycle, water evaporates from the land and sea into the atmosphere. Water in the atmosphere then condenses to form clouds. Clouds release the water back to the earth as rain, snow, or fog. When water droplets form and fall to the earth they pick up particles and chemicals that float in the air. Even clean, unpolluted air has some particles such as dust or pollen. Clean air also contains naturally occurring gases such as carbon dio .....

.... are brought by these changing cycles hold less dissolved oxygen forcing fish to go deeper or venture elsewhere. Due to a lack of data during occurrences it is not fully known if fish populations are depleted solely due to exposure to . A decrease in their growth and reproductive success has been observed by many surveys in coastal waters. The link between climatic effects around the world and is now well established. It has taken many years of studying to understand how the pieces of the puzzle, from ocean currents to winds and heavy rains fit together. During the 1920s a scientist .....

Effects Of Deforestation
Number of words: 774 - Number of pages: 3

.... greater exposure to the elements (wind, rain etc…), other non-forest animals and humans (Dunbar, 1993). This unnatural extinction of species endangers the world's food supply, threatens many human resources and has profound implications for biological diversity. Another negative environmental impact of deforestation is that it causes climate changes all over the world. As we learned in elementary school, plant life is essential to life on earth as it produces much of the oxygen that is required for humans and other organisms to breathe. The massive destruction of trees negatively effect .....

Acid Rain

.... 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 river .....

What Is A Plant?
Number of words: 611 - Number of pages: 3

.... they also gather minerals and water from the ground. Roots usually grow under ground and downward. Roots have tiny “hairs” which increase the surface of the roots, which results in more gathering of minerals and water. Stems are usually above ground, grow upward, and usually have leaves. Plants that do not have leaves generally use the stem as the photosynthetic surface, like cacti. Leaves are still the most common photosynthetic surface on plants, though. Leaves absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. Some leaves of plants have spines or thorns to provide them with protection f .....

Bats
Number of words: 1283 - Number of pages: 5

.... 9). The upper arm of the bat is short while the forearm is very long. The wrist is very small and from it comes the thumb and the four longer fingers. The thumb is short and used for climbing or walking. The fingers are long and thin. Interlocking the fingers is the wing. This set up of having the fingers in the wing gives the bat amazing flight maneuverability (Honders 22). These bones look similar to a human hand. They are connected by rubbery skin to the bat's body enveloping all the fingers but the thumb (Bats in CT 1). Echolocation Bats have a "sixth sense" called .....

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

.... to answer. Legally, are scientists able to make clones? 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 Lond .....

Nuclear Power: Worth The Risks?
Number of words: 2297 - Number of pages: 9

.... also brought with it sickness, mutations, cancer and eventually death to those exposed to high levels of radiation. Government declared that nuclear power is safe and efficient. Also have big Oil corporations who have a lot of money invested in nuclear power and want to see as many plants as possible put into and kept in operation. The truth is that accidents do happen at nuclear power plants and at other facilities all the time. An accident at a nuclear power plant has the potential to be much more devastating than an accident at a coal or gas plant because of the radiation that could b .....

.... EPA then evacuated Times Beach, Montana for dangerous levels of dioxin in soil, which was then criticized for its heavyhandedness and arrogance.

"The deputy director resigns because of charges of making a 'hit list' of employees to be hired, fired, or promoted because of political leanings.

Genetic Variations

.... population. A single pair of nenes were taken from the wild and bred in captivity. Later two more birds were added. The chicks were released into the wild and the program continued. Though there are several dozen nenes released from captivity, there is still little increase in the wild population. The inbreeding between birds is not allowing for any genetic diversity to occur between them. It is also causing captive-bred birds to lay eggs that don't produce chicks. Scientists collect blood samples from nenes in the area, searching for a descendant of the wild nenes. The blood is then sent .....
