Discuss the climatic characteristics of one climate type you have studied. The climatic type of climate I have studies is the hot deserts. These deserts usually consist between 15° and 30°‚ north and south of the equator normally positions within the trade wind belts with the Sahara as the only exception. Desert temperatures are very extreme; they can be both very hot and cold. The tropical desert has the highest mean annual temperature of any climate on Earth. The high temperatures are

Within Richard Preston’s‚ The Hot Zone‚ the very real threats posed by the deadly viruses of Marburg and Ebola Reston is brought to attention through the “terrifying true story”. In the first chapter‚ Charles Monet is introduced as a man with a little too much free time and works at the pump house at the sugar factory within near the base of Mt. Elgon. One day in 1980‚ he takes a female friend to Kitum Cave‚ and it is believed that this is the day he caught the Marburg virus. The first symptoms include

show the water potentials of young‚ old and damaged potatoes and different sucrose concentrations (0.15‚ 0.20‚ 0.25‚ 0.30‚ 0.35 and 0.50). It was expected that the potatoes would lose weight as the potatoes would have lower water potential when placed in a solution ‚ and in this can be taken from the theory of osmosis which states that “the passive diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane down a concentration gradient” (Taylor and Bruenn‚ 2009)‚ moving water from a high

Does This Thing Work? It operates on a 100 year old proven technology called electrolysis. Whenever you place two pieces of metal in water‚ and apply electricity‚ the water separates into it’s basic molecules‚ Hydrogen and Oxygen (H2O). If you look at the picture on the left‚ you will see H2O molecules connected together in their liquid form which is WATER But when you apply electricity (from your car battery)‚ the molecules separate and form a GAS (called HHO) which is a mixture of Hydrogen

10-26-12 3RD Block Mrs. Sneed Hot Air Balloon Report Hot air balloons fill up slowly and then rise in the sky. Two important principles of physics: the ideal gas law and Archimedes’ principle are the reasons hot air balloons fly. The mathematical relationship between the volume pressure and the temperature of a gas is called the ideal gas law. When a gas is heated‚ as in a hot air balloon‚ then its volume will increase. However‚ there is a heater located in the balloon’s basket that heats the
