examine the affected joints. In addition‚ the doctor may recommend: 1- blood tests: in people who suffer from rheumatoid arthritis‚ blood tests check the speed of sedimentation (precipitation) red blood cell (which is screening measures the speed of deposition of cells red blood in a sample of blood - Erythrocyte sedimentation rate - ESR)‚ usually‚ a high percentage indicate the presence of inflammation in the body. There are other blood tests commonly examine the presence of antibodies causing rheumatism

Describe the spatial characteristics of drumlins in Ireland and explain their relationship to the evolution of the last lowland ice sheets in Ireland. Drumlins are undoubtedly among the most intensively studied of all glacial landforms and have bee particularly widely used as ice-directional indicators. They frequently occur in ‘fields’ or ‘swarms’ in lowland areas where there was little obstruction to the passage of ice‚ or in piedmont zones where flow was radiative or dispersive. They are

Aim What are the features of the Wag water river and how they are formed due to erosion and deposition at each stage of the river? Discussion How tributaries cause the velocity to be greater? A tributary is a stream or river that flows into a main stem river or a lake. Velocity downstream increases when there are more streams feeding the main stream. The load of a river is the total amount of material carried or transported by a river. The bedload is the load transported along the bed of

Chapter 15 – Restless Realm: Oceans and Coasts Key Point • Why does ocean water circulate? • How does the topography of the ocean floor change from a continental margin to the mid-ocean ridge? How are the oceans mapped? • How do ocean waves and breakers form? • How sediments are moved along a shore line and what coastal features are formed? • Be able to recognize both depositional and erosional coastal landforms Why should we study the oceans? • 70% of Earth’s

is the accumulation and deposition of rainwater for reuse before it reaches the aquifer. Uses include water for garden‚ water for livestock‚ water for irrigation‚ etc. In many places the water collected is just redirected to a deep pit with percolation. The harvested water can be used for drinking water as well if the storage is a tank that can be accessed and cleaned when needed. advantages • Makes use of a natural resource and reduces flooding‚ storm water runoff‚ erosion‚ and contamination of

project‚ I will be focusing on rivers and I have chosen a hypothesis to prove that erosion is making an impact on the Loughton Brook Rivers. My hypothesis is‚ “The river Loughton brook becomes wider and deeper due to erosion as it moves downstream”. I will be investigating if erosion takes place downstream in the river. I will investigate if hydraulic action has an impact. I will study about vertical erosion‚ lateral erosion‚ Cross profile and hydraulic action. The geography field trip we are going to

Big Bend National Park Report 1. What is the depositional nature of the rocks in the study area and how does their lithologic compositions and sedimentary structures record changing water depths‚ environments of deposition‚ and paleogeography? Big bend national park has complex rocks that are subsided in two seas hundreds of millions of years ago. Fossil data from the mid to Upper Cretaceous period predicts the sequence of rock strata in Big Bend National Park to be from bottom to top: limestone

Soil..?? • Soil is the thin layer of organic and inorganic materials that covers the Earth ’s rocky surface. • Soil is composed of particles of broken rock that have been altered by chemical and mechanical processes that include weathering and erosion. SOIL POLLUTION • It is defined as the build-up in soils of persistent toxic compounds‚ chemicals‚ salts‚ radioactive materials‚ or disease causing agents‚ which have adverse effects on plant growth and animal health. • Soil pollution is also
