A plants volatile organic compound (VOC) composition is the hand that swats unwanted visitors‚ welcomes visitation from much needed pollinators‚ and the substantial determinant in a plants identity and overall evolutionary fitness within the plant community. Understanding the mechanics of volatile formation is essential in interpreting their importance in plant life‚ and in plant-animal interactions. A huge allocation of energy is assumed to be given to the production of volatiles‚ and is therefore

Alberta Oil Sands Did you know Canada’s energy mostly comes from Alberta’s oil sands? It has been estimated that between 1.7 trillion and 2.5 trillion barrels of oil come from Alberta. The province’s oil resource plays an important role for the world’s oil supply. It has enough oil to keep Canada supplied for the next 400 years! The oil sands were formed in a pretty complex way.The oil was formed in source rocks‚ then continued pressure from overlying rock forced the oil through permeable rock

I. OIL SPILL Oil spill is the release of a liquid petroleum hydrocarbon into the environment‚ especially marine areas‚ due to human activity‚ and is a form of pollution. The term is usually applied to marine oil spills‚ where oil is released into the ocean or coastal waters‚ but spills may also occur on land. Oil spills may be due to releases of crude oil from tankers‚ offshore platforms‚ drilling rigs and wells‚ as well as spills of refined petroleum products (such as gasoline‚ diesel) and their

On April 20th‚ 2010‚ an oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico. As a result‚ approximately 4.9 billion barrels of oil poured into the gulf over the course of 87 days. This tragedy resulted in lives lost‚ both human and animal alike‚ and really brought the issue of off-shore oil drilling to attention. While some may believe that offshore oil drilling may seem like a harmless source of revenue for the United States‚ it is imperative that citizens realize that drilling does more harm than good.

made from burning coal. For every 22 tonnes of uranium used in the nuclear power plant‚ one million tonnes of CO2 emissions isn’t put into the environment. If the world doubled its nuclear output‚ it would reduce CO2 emissions by about a fourth. Nuclear energy uses less than 6% of their output energy to make their nuclear power plant run. Wind power would usually cost up to two times more per kWh than nuclear power plants. Many people fear nuclear energy. Some fear that the transportation of uranium

sink to the bottom and oil and grease can rise to the surface. The solids are scraped off the bottom and the scum is washed off with water jets. These two substances are combined to form sludge. Secondary treatment The sludge is further treated in ’sludge digesters’: large heated tanks in which its chemical decomposition is catalysed by microorganisms. The sludge is largely converted to ’biogas’‚ a mixture of CH4 and CO2‚ which is used to generate electricity for the plant. The liquid is treated
