Year 10 Geography assessment task 1- Fieldwork investigation and research action report (RAP) Natural Environment- Coal point is a small saline coastal lagoon that opens intermittently. Coal point overs an area of approximately 1.3 km. A range of ecological habitats are supported by the lake‚ which is itself subjected to a wide range of human uses including recreation‚ industry‚ development‚ and rural activities. This has resulted in a high degree of modification to the natural environment

Amphipod Reburrowing Assignment 1. What is the problem or the question to be solved? The question that was presented was how the pollution in the water is effecting the benthic organisms that have limited movement if at all and they can’t escape the pollution around them. 2. What is the hypothesis that was tested? The hypothesis was that if the contaminated sediment in the water affected the Amphipods burrowing‚ then the reburrowing time for L. Plumulosus amphipods should increase. 3. What are

Gasland Problem Tap water isn’t supposed to catch fire. It does in Dimock. Josh Fox‚ the director of "Gasland‚" chronicles his search to discover what gas drilling in the Marcellus Shale might do to his beloved Delaware River watershed should he and his neighbors sign the leases they received in the mail. That search takes him first to Dimock and then across the United States‚ where he meets people struggling with unexpected consequences of gas drilling in multiple states. He spent time with citizens

Hydro-Fracking for Natural Gas Hydraulic fracking or hydro-fracking is the fracturing of rock to extract natural gases from the ground. To fracture the rock and extract the natural gases‚ a large amount of water‚ combined with chemicals‚ is pumped into the ground at high pressures to open up existing fractures. After this process‚ the gas can flow freely into the drilled gas well. However‚ Hydro-fracking should not be used because it destroys the land‚ air‚ water‚ and the health of the people.

Site Investigation Site Investigation is the gathering of information about the proposed location of the construction project. The reason for this can be twofold‚ firstly to assist in the location of the project and secondly to ascertain ground conditions. A site investigation should be taken for every site. Without a properly procured‚ supervised and interpreted site investigation‚ hazards which lie beneath the site cannot be known. A site investigation is made

In many places rock units can be described‚ grouped together‚ given similar characteristics‚ and placed into lithofacies. These lithofacies are important for interpreting the past depositional settings of the rock units. At the Cemex Quarry‚ we went through three stratigraphic columns‚ describing the different rock layers‚ and placed them into distinct lithofacies. The first lithofacies we described was of an Imbricated Clast-Supported Conglomerate. The first thing that stood out was the orientation

A parking lot riddled with pools of standing water does not present an inviting welcome to your customers‚ tenants or employees. However‚ many people overlook the more sinister nature of puddles. Pedestrians could slip and fall‚ particularly if the puddles freeze‚ or drivers could skid on the water. Furthermore‚ water standing on top of asphalt pavement poses a risk to the integrity of your parking lot. If there is even a tiny crack in the pavement‚ the water will find a way to penetrate to the foundation

Who would ever think that using water could get a whole community of people mad at you? Well‚ the main character in the movie Joe Mondragon‚ didn’t really think much about using the communities water to water his bean field. When the people found out that Joe was “stealing” the water they were upset‚ mad‚ and wanted him to stop. This just goes to show that no matter what you do‚ you can’t please everybody. Society affects peoples behaviors in many different ways. This movie takes place in

the science lab. In science‚ we would participate in a lab. One of my favorite labs was the owl pellet dissection. Owl pellets are owl throw up. In owl pellets you can find the bones of animals the owl consumed. In this lab we were to take out the bones we found in the pellet and construct the animal we found inside. Most people‚ like me‚ had a sort of rodent‚ but some people found birds in their pellet. Another one of my favorite things we did in science was the Sharpie tie dye lab in fifth grade

Groundwater dams are structures that intercept or obstruct the natural flow of groundwater and provide storage for water underground. They have been used in several parts of the world‚ notably India‚ Africa and Brazil. Their use is in areas where flows of groundwater vary considerably during the course of the year‚ from very high flows following rain to negligible flows during the dry season. The basic principle of the groundwater dam is that instead of storing the water in surface reservoirs‚ water
