The crumple zone is a structural feature in which can be mostly found in automobiles. They are constructed to absorb the kinetic energy from impact during an accident by controlled deformation. In order to absorb the impact of a head on collision‚ most of the time crumple zones are designed to be in the front part of a vehicle‚ they can also be found on the rear and sides of vehicles. Isaac Newton’s first law states that an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and direction unless

South Chinese tiger subspecies. Although there are no known specimen evidence to prove the existence of these critically endangered tigers‚ there have been quite a number of sighting throughout history. Most of the sightings are reported in the Fujian Province of China. Giant Panda ~The Giant Panda is a bear native to China. Pandas can easily be distinguished from other bear species from their coloration. Their diet mainly consists of bamboo as they live in bamboo forests. The picture of a Giant Panda

WHAT IS CLIMATE? Have you ever wondered why one area of the world is a desert‚ another a grassland‚ and another a rainforest? Why are there different forests and deserts‚ and why are there different types of life in each area? It is because of Climate. Climate is the characteristic condition of the atmosphere near the earth’s surface at a certain place on earth. It is the long-term weather of that area (for at least 30 years). This includes the region’s general pattern of weather conditions

aside one large issue that comes to mind dealing with ecosystem imbalance is invasive species. Most invasive species do not add or diminish from there new invasive ecosystem but sometimes they can cause a devastating effect on things such as population imbalance‚ predator versus prey imbalance and outright off balancing the entire ecosystem food web. The purpose of this paper is to discuss what an invasive species can do to an ecosystem and possible solutions to correcting the imbalance in the

Climate Change Climate change is defined as a change in climate that persists over a sustained period of time. The World Meteorological Organization defines this time period as 30 years. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2003 stated that “there is new and stronger evidence that most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities”. These changes have led to the emergence of large-scale environmental hazards to human health‚ such as extreme

ways. a. Raindrop Splash and Sheet Erosion. The first step in the erosion process begins as raindrops impact the soil surface. Raindrops typically fall with a velocity of 20-30 feet per second. The energy of these impacts are sufficient to displace soil particles as high as two feet vertically. In addition‚ the impact of a rainfall on a bare soil can compact the upper layer of soil‚ creating a hard crust that inhibits plant establishment. Sheet erosion occurs as runoff travels over the ground‚

No Choice to Save Land for Endangered Animals Nowadays‚ land supply is one of the critical world problems‚ which is considered carefully before using that limited land. People transform natural landscapes to human landscapes for farmland‚ housing‚ and industry‚ and it makes many serious problems to wildlife species. Especially to endangered animal‚ they will lose their shelters and face the end of their kinds. However‚ there is no choice for tremendous requirements of mankind. There are some main

Our primary focus is on polar bears as they rely on masses of ice to rest after hunting for food. With the emergence of warmer climate‚ the areas of ice are diminishing leaving polar bears swimming for even longer until they drown from exhaustion. A federal regulation was passed in May of 2008 to protect the polar bear species from extinction by adding them to the endangered list. This should be a wake-up call to every individual living on the planet Earth as it is time to take responsibility for our
