There are cedar, spruces, hemlocks, and douglas fir. They can provide shelter. You can also use them for firewood.…
4. While driving from cold area (well below freezing), frost forms on the windshield of the car. Does the frost form on the inside or outside of the windshield? How can the frost form when the air is so warm? When driving through the cold area the outside of the window will cool to below freezing. When the windshield is exposed to warm air, it is chilled to saturation point and produces frost through deposition pg116…
First of all, trees are beautiful. If you have been over to Bedford Park or have taken a drive along the highway, the situation there looks pretty bad. During the past ten years, our town has grown. Trees have been cut down to make room for houses and office buildings. Shopping centers and new roads too. We and our families need a park where we can relax,play,and picnic. For us to breathe, we need trees secondly. If you plant more trees, you will have more oxygen. Trees turn carbon…
The deciduous forest can be found all over the globe. It is found primarily in eastern North America, middle Europe, southwest Russia, Japan, and China but smaller scale deciduous forests can also be found in southeastern Australia, southern South America, and New Zealand. We will be discussing North American deciduous forests found in the Appalachian Mountains of Pennsylvania.…

The growing of our forests seems like a pretty good thing, and it is, but not if it is causing some of our tree species to go extinct. Climate change is shifting the geographic ranges for where the different types of trees grow, and causing some species of trees to grow more northern or at a higher altitude than before. This may not seem like much, but trees that grow more northern than others are getting closer to extinction than we realize. For example, trees that grow on mountain tops can not go anywhere higher and will most likely die off due to the unsuitable climate they live in now. With the average weather temperature getting warmer, drought in particular areas is increasing. “Although many trees are resilient to some degree of drought, increases in temperature could make future droughts more damaging than those experienced in the past” (ww3.epa.gov). Carbon dioxide is a necessary for photosynthesis, along with an acceptable amount of water and nutrients. With more carbon dioxide increasing and not much water available, a tree is not going to be able go through photosynthesis, wasting its potential to be productive, and would result in being…

As the world warms up people will not have to heat their house. This is beneficial in numerous aspects. Not only will this save homeowners and businesses money it will also use less natural gas, which can be saved for other things. Also, power plants will not have to produce as much electricity. This will reduce the amount of fossil fuels consumed by power plants, since the majority or power plants burn coal to produce electricity.…
One of the benefits from trees is that areas where massive trees are located are likely to be more culturally and economically valuable. A canopy research discovers that “Where a canopy of trees exists, apartments and offices rent more quickly and have a higher occupancy rate; workers report more productivity and less absenteeism.” (canopy research, n.d.). From this, the benefit of trees is clear, that the presence of trees leads to the increase in the productivities of the workers; therefore, the trees serve as an indirect boosting factor that provides economical value to the companies located near the park. Furthermore, the canopies from the trees provide shades for people.…
Trees: The most common types of trees are the members of the umbrella-shaped acacia family (also known as thorn-trees, due to their thorny branches). These include the yellow-fever acacia, the umbrella acacia, and the Senegal acacia. Acacias serve many uses. For example, the seeds and honey are used for food, and has been used in the past as a cure for rabies, incense, and painting. Acacias are commonly used for perfume.…
Trees and large shrubs are largely absent. Seasonal drought, occasional fires and grazing by large mammals all prevent woody shrubs and trees from becoming established. The grasslands have cold winters and hot summers. The summer temperature can be over 38 degrees.…
The majority of a house's heat in the winter escapes out of the windows. The next time there's a storm, take a good look at your blinds or curtains. Are they moving at all? If they are, it's a sure sign that the window is letting in cold air and that your house could benefit from replacing them. Also touch…
A Temperate Deciduous Forest is one of many biomes in the world. The biome has its own set of location, climate, and type of wildlife.The Temperate Deciduous Forest is found in almost every continent on the earth. Its climate is in the temperature range, hence its name. But the wildlife is unique in its own way in this biome.…

Styrofoam and gasoline are known as roof sealant. Some people use this to patch holes in their roofs. The researchers found out that a mixture of gasoline and Styrofoam is not only used as roof sealant but also an alternate for commercial glue/stick glue, and it can be used to do crafts or projects in school or at home.…
