recent years on the effects of increase of greenhouse gases on the thermohaline circulation. There are several hypotheses that state that the prolonged effect of global warming could eventually “shut down” the thermohaline circulation and lead to cooling in certain regions in the North Atlantic Ocean. Several ocean-atmosphere models have been used to predict the effect of increase of carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) concentration on ocean circulation. Two such models are discussed and their results

vegetation and exposed soil exists‚ the majority of the sun’s energy is absorbed by urban structures and asphalt. Hence‚ during warm daylight hours‚ less evaporative cooling in cities allows surface temperatures to rise higher than in rural areas. Additional city heat is given off by vehicles and factories‚ as well as by industrial and domestic heating and cooling units. This effect causes the city to become 2 to 10o F (1 to 6o C) warmer than surrounding landscapes. Impacts also include reducing soil moisture

There are many ways that the Craniates and the Arthropods have adapted their bodies and their lives to be able to leave their aquatic habitats and live on land. There are many adaptations that happen both on the outside and the inside of the animal that make it possible for life outside of the water. In the Craniates‚ anything from the cranium‚ notochord‚ endoskeleton‚ central nervous system‚ brain‚ lungs and gill slits‚ and the ability to maintain their body temperature in the inside and the well-developed

1. Illuminuation Factors that affect the workers’ visual performance are visual angle‚ contrast‚ illuminance‚ glare and color. One way to improve the worker’s visibility is to improve direct lighting. Direct lighting however‚ deemphasizes the ceiling surface and places more of the light on the work surfaces and the floor. Direct-indirect lighting is a combination of both and is recommended in all work areas. Too much glare‚ or excessive brightness might also affect the worker’s vision. A table below

Internal Combustion Engines Introduction Internal Combustion Engine‚ a heat engine in which the fuel is burned ( that is‚ united with oxygen ) within the confining space of the engine itself. This burning process releases large amounts of energy‚ which are transformed into work through the mechanism of the engine. This type of engine different from the steam engine‚ which process with an external combustion engine that fuel burned apart from the engine. The principal types of internal combustion

processes known is the cooling water process where water is cooled by exposing its surface to air. The heat transfer process involves latent heat (because a small portion of water is vaporized) and sensible heat (because there is a temperature difference between water and air. Approximately 80% of the heat transfer is due to latent heat while the remaining 20% due to sensible heat. There are two types of cooling tower: natural draft and mechanical draft. The natural draft cooling tower depends on the

BENEFITS OF FOREST RESOURCES A forest‚ also referred to as a wood or the woods‚ is an area with a high density of trees. As with cities‚ depending on various cultural definitions‚ what is considered a forest may vary significantly in size and have different classifications according to how and of what the forest is composed. A forest is usually an area filled with trees but any tall densely packed area of vegetation may be considered a forest‚ even underwater vegetation such as kelp forests‚ or

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته Water cycle The Earth ’s water is always in movement‚ and the water cycle‚ also known as the hydrologic cycle‚ describes the continuous movement of water on‚ above‚ and below the surface of the Earth. Since the water cycle is truly a "cycle‚" there is no beginning or end. Water can change states among liquid‚ vapor‚ and ice at various places in the water cycle‚ with these processes happening in the blink of an eye and over
