I shall be explaining to you about whether we should still remember Henrietta Barnett for the work she has done and the outcome of what she did and if she was a significant character of history. Firstly I shall give some basic background information about Henrietta Barnett. Henrietta was born on the 4th May 1851 shortly followed by the death of her mother in childbirth. Her maiden name was Henrietta Octavia Weston Rowland and she fortunately born into a fairly privileged and rich family. Her father

Fracking: Underneath the cracked shell Recently in the Coal State‚ aka Kentucky‚ a new way of getting oil has come. Fracking has become more and more popular in the US and in the world. Fracking consists of drilling‚ and cracking into the ground vertically and horizontally. This new method uses water pressure and thousands of chemicals to pump the oil to the surface of the land. As a resident in Kentucky‚ I leave around some empty land out in the country side. Recently‚ I heard about KGA (Kentucky

The Burgess Shale Jared Yeargan EES 112 02-32318-2123 May 9th Spring 2012 As scientists seeking clues to the Earth’s and Mankind’s past; expeditions spanning the globe are often launched in search of fossils. Soft-shelled fossils are extremely rare due to their inherent fragility and rarity of necessary conditions to preserve such specimens. The Burgess Shale formation located in British Columbia contains some of the best-preserved and most abundant collections of soft-shelled fossils

the past decade‚ the combination of Hydraulic Fracturing and horizontal drilling has opened up shale deposits across the country and has brought a large quantity of natural gas to new regions. Some places in the nation that practice the use of Hydraulic Fracturing are • Barnett Shale‚ FT. Worth Basin‚ Texas. • Fayetteville Shale‚ Arkoma Basin‚ Arkansas. • Marcellus Shale‚ Appalachian Basin. • Utica Shale‚ Appalachian Basin. A significant part of the drilling has occurred

Europe seeks independence from Russian gas imports through shale gas in Poland – Demand shift & Free Market Competition Natural gas in Europe is a major source of electricity generation‚ domestic use (domestic cooking and heating fuel)‚ transportation‚ and is also used in the manufacture of fabrics‚ glass‚ steel‚ plastics‚ paint‚ and other products. Therefore‚ no industrial country can afford to be cut off from this supply‚ because it would result in a major loss of economic power and chaos for

Sedimentary rocks from the Barberton greenstone belt‚ South Africa Abstract The Barberton greenstone belt in South Africa represents one of the best preserved successions of Archaean rocks. The rock sequences have experienced low grade metamorphism‚ which makes them ideal to study because the effects of alteration and secondary minerals are relatively small. The sedimentary rocks of the Fig Tree Group obtained through the drilling project “Peering into the cradle of life” are analysed for their

specifically‚ thin black shale and thick graywacke compose this formation. The thin black shale may be described as fine grained and its color derives from lack of oxidation. This indicates the rock formed in deep ocean conditions. The shale layers are thin‚ and are approximately two to three centimeters wide. On the other hand‚ the graywacke shale‚ which is about fifteen centimeters‚ is thicker than the black shale. The graywacke is a sandstone and is coarse grained. The black shale and graywacke alternate

storage of waste water‚ as well as waste water treatment companies. Both sides agree that there has not been enough research done to support either side. Hydraulic fracturing is an extremely controversial method for extracting minerals and gases from shale formations. Governments should ban fracking and seek alternative sources of fuel and power because short term economic gains do not outweigh the heavy environmental damage potential and risk to humans for the sake of an immediate non-sustainable energy
