Coastal Erosion Coastal erosion is a naturally occurring phenomenon resulting from the continuous action of wind and water. Both act to remove small pieces of land from one location and deposit them elsewhere. Weather events such as hurricanes and nor’easters speed the erosion process‚ as do tidal waves. Currently‚ rising sea levels resulting from melting polar ice decrease available land as well. While erosion has always been a factor of coastal living‚ increasing populations along the worlds

1) Natural buffers are chemicals that the body releases into the blood stream to help maintain a healthy pH level. Carbon dioxide (CO2) acts as an acid by donating hydrogen ions when needed and forms carbonic acid when it dissolves in water. Carbonic acid bicarbonate is important for maintaining an acid base balance in the blood as it equalizes the pH (7.5) of the blood. All body fluids have buffers that defend the body against pH changes. A process that affects buffers in the blood is exercise

A pH meter is an electronic instrument used to measure the pH (acidity or alkalinity) of a liquid (though special probes are sometimes used to measure the pH of semi-solid substances). A typical pH meter consists of a special measuring probe (a glass electrode) connected to an electronic meter that measures and displays the pH reading. The probe The pH probe measures pH as the activity of hydrogen ions surrounding a thin-walled glass bulb at its tip. The probe produces a small voltage (about 0

Messing 8/3/12 Section 623 Abstract To examine the effectiveness of buffers by titrating two sets of five different solutions using HCl and NaOH and monitoring the pH change of the various solutions. The data collected shows that the buffer systems made with sodium acetate and acetic acid were effect when titrated with the strong acid and the strong base. Comparison of all the solutions shows that the concepts of buffers holds true for the results from the experimentation. Introduction The

CHM 116 Lab Investigations of Buffers I. Purpose The purpose of this experiment was to get an understanding as to how to properly prepare chemical buffers. Also part of this experiment was to gauge the effectiveness of the buffers by measuring their pH levels in various titration solutions‚ using a pH meter. II. Procedure To start our experiment we had to prepare Buffer B‚ which was the .060 M Ammonia/Ammonium solution. Using 3.0 M ammonia‚ we had to calculate

the soil texture. There are distinct layers of soil that are not always visible to eye but are made up of different horizons. O horizon/Humus is the decomposing plant matter. A Horizon/Topsoil is the mixed humus and leached mineral soil. E Horizon/ Zone of leaching‚ there is less humus‚ minerals resistant to leaching. B Horizon/ Subsoil the accumulation of leached minerals like iron and aluminum oxides. C Horizon/ Weathered parent material which has partially broken down minerals. (Richard T Wright

of Soil Erosion in the Philippines” The soil is among our most precious resources‚ yet we often take it for granted or destroy it by making it susceptible to soil erosion. In the Philippines‚ for example‚ 22 provinces had been reported to have "alarming" soil erosion rate. Among those that had been losing their topsoil were Cebu‚ Batangas‚ Marinduque‚ Ilocos Sur‚ and La Union. This means that 58 per cent of the country’s total land area of 30 million hectares is susceptible to erosion. But what
