properties that affect the growth rate of plants in different ways. These properties may be the wavelength of the music‚ its frequency or even its tempo. According to a study conducted by Margaret E. Collins and John E. K. Foreman‚ entitled The Effect of Sound on the growth rate of plants (2001)‚ plants growth is directly affected by sounds of varying frequencies. They observed that when plants are exposed to pure tones‚ it affects the growth of the plant. This was due to the transverse wave which

GEOTHERMAL ENERGY 4 December 2013 Introduction Geothermal is derived from the Greek word ‘geo’ which means ‘earth’ and ‘thermal’ meaning ‘heat’‚ therefore geothermal refers to an energy or heat from the earth. In layman’s terms it is referred to power resulting from the thermal activating within the earth’s crust as a result of volcanic activity. Geothermal energy’s resources range from the surfaces just below the earth‚ to the hot rock‚ which heats water deep beneath the earth

Fertilizers are essential in plant growth due to the lack of some nutrients in the soil. They contain three distinct categories which are the primary nutrients‚ secondary nutrients and metals. (hazri). In order for a plant to develop growth‚ the basic needs of carbon (C)‚ hydrogen (H)‚ and oxygen (O) are required which are available in the air and water. Also‚ a boost of macronutrients are also essential for plant growth which are obtainable from chemical fertilizers mainly nitrogen (N)‚ phosphate

EXECUTIVE BRIEFING Energy sector is one of the most important sectors for the current economy. Nowadays‚ the access to energy is a key point for the development and welfare of a country. With that purpose‚ all the countries try to push forward their energy sectors‚ aiming to have enough resources to sustain their growing perspectives. Within the energy sectors‚ the electricity sector is considered a strategic one‚ considering the increase of electricity demand occurred during the last 15 years

Parts of plants Each part of a plant has a very important function. All plants produce flowers for the same reason: to make seeds so another plant can grow. Leaves: These are the parts of the plant where food is made by photosynthesis. Leaves take in carbon dioxide from the air‚ water from the soil‚ and energy from the sunlight. During photosynthesis‚ the leaves use light energy to change carbon dioxide and water into food. (sugar) Flowers: These are the reproductive parts of

Wind Energy: Energy from Moving Air Abstract This paper contains the description of the process by which the wind is used to generate mechanical power or electricity‚ also describe the prospect and history of wind energy. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power. This mechanical power can be used for specific tasks (such as grinding grain or pumping water) or a generator can convert this mechanical power into electricity to power homes‚ businesses‚ schools

My Thesis Statement: This essay argues that humans have used globalization as a tool to reach their ends and in the process animals are a very easier means at their disposal to realise their ends‚ thus leaving animals bereft of all their life rights and entitlements. How globalization have encouraged humans to disregard the moral rights of animals? Animals are used in food as much as they are used in sports in the Middle East‚ in that when camels are used for racing using robot jockeys who whips

Chapter 3 Results and Discussion Plants grow better in a non-polluted area than a polluted area. The place where the plant that grew better was in a place which has enough sunlight and clean surroundings. The place where the plant that did no grow was in a place where people are working‚ the place has materials that is used in buildings like cement‚ and sand scattered all over the place. The polluted area had a great effect on the growth of the plant that grew in that place. The seed that was

Energy Flow Robert Green 1/9/15 SCI/275 Christina Kamnikar Energy Flow After reviewing figure 4-10 presented in chapter 4 of Environmental Science‚ it is easy to recognize the different trophic levels. Each trophic level shows how energy and biomass flow through a food chain however it is eventually lost as heat. These levels consist of: biomass of producers‚ those consumed‚ and those not consumed. The first trophic level has the producers which graze the food chain‚ grazers consist of the
