Diffusion is one of several transport phenomena that occur in nature. A distinguishing feature of diffusion is that it results in mixing or mass transport without requiring bulk motion. Thus‚ diffusion should not be confused with convection or advection‚ which are other transport mechanisms that use bulk motion to move particles from one place to another. In Latin‚ "diffundere" means "to spread out". There are two ways to introduce the notion of diffusion: either a phenomenological approach starting

Internal processes which have been involved in the formation of boxwork weathered rocks. The major internal processes for my surface feature are: 1. The rock cycle and the formation of greywacke. 2. The uplift that brought the rocks from under the ocean up to the shore level. The rock cycle The rock cycle refers to the diverse set of natural processes that lead to the formation and transformation of igneous‚ sedimentary‚ and metamorphic rocks. The rock cycle shows that each type of rock can

NOVA: Secrets of the Sun 1. Solar storms take place in two stages. The first stage is the solar flare which “releases an outburst of x-rays.” (NOVA) The second stage is the coronal mass ejection‚ with is a “wave of billions of tons of electrically charged particles.” (NOVA) 2. Auroras can be very bright. In fact‚ in 1859 there were reports that miners in Colorado were awaken by an aurora in the middle of the night. Believing that dawn had arrived‚ they went to work early. 3. During the 1960’s

Mid-Oceanic Ridges Matthew Olson ABSRACT The theory of seafloor spreading emerged with the discoveries of Harry Hammond Hess. Ocean basins are expanding laterally away from a mid-oceanic ridge. Radioactive decay in Earth’s mantle causes convection cycles‚ which drive plate tectonics. Hot mantle rises and undergoes decompression melt due to change in pressure. New oceanic crust is created in a characteristic sequence. Studies of Ophiolites show a sequence of sediment‚ pillow basalts‚ sheeted

Convergent Plate Boundaries Convergent plate boundaries are locations where lithospheric plates are moving towards one another. The plate collisions that occur in these areas can produce earthquakes‚ volcanic activity and crustal deformation. Convergent Plate Boundary – Oceanic-Continental: When continental and oceanic plates collide the thinner and more dense oceanic plate is overridden by the thicker and less dense continental plate. The oceanic plate is forced down into the mantle in a process

the theory of plate tectonics disproved parts of the continental drift theory. So for example when the theory of continental drift stated that the continents just plowed through oceanic crust‚ the theory of plate tectonics said it was because of convection currents (Plate 1). These theories were all believed at different times‚ the continental drift theory for example was only accepted after the creation of the theory of plate tectonics‚ which was many years after the theory was originally constructed

Techniques for Controlling Pathogenic Microorganisms: In order to adequately address safety issues associated with fresh produce‚ it is necessary to enhance the quantity and quality of research on mitigation strategies. A few of the research needs include: Investigate traditional and non-traditional sanitizers on specific pathogen/produce combinations. Survey extensively domestic and imported products to determine the frequency of public health microorganisms on specific produce items. Survey
