1. INTRODUCTION The stability and life of any structure – a building‚ an airport‚ a road‚ dams‚ levees – depend on the stability‚ strength‚ and deformation of soils.[1] Unfortunately‚ due to the uncertainties of the world’s natural materials‚ the study of geotechnical engineering‚ and soil mechanics in particular‚ is both challenging and necessary. The following report is a compilation of the results acquired as a result of two laboratories performed by Group 13 at McMaster University on February

“Sons-of-the-Soil” and Local Insurgencies ABSTRACT One explanation for localized armed conflicts is competition between the original inhabitants of an area and more recent settlers‚ including both migrants from the same country and from abroad. As of yet‚ this explanation has not been thoroughly scrutinized‚ partly due to the lack of disaggregated data on violence needed to properly examine the hypothesis. Hence‚ this paper applies the idea of such “sons-of-the-soil” dynamics to

Does too much water help plants grow more rapidly? Hypothesis I think a plant given an unlimited supply of moisture will grow more rapidly than a plant given the recommended amount of water. To prove my hypothesis I will use the following materials: • Bean and mielie seeds • Cotton wool • Tap water My preparation includes: • Putting one cotton wool ring on six separate saucers • Placing one bean and one mielie seed on each ring • Covering the seeds with another ring • Label

SOILS IN INDIA Soil is the uppermost layer of Earth’s crust. Soil is the medium in which plants grow and thus it supports the lives on earth. How soils are formed? Soils are formed due to the weathering of rocks. WHAT IS SOIL? Soil is the thin layer of loose mixture of small rock particles and rotting organic matter that covers much of the world’s land surface. SOIL FORMATION Soil formation is a very long process. It begins with the weathering of rocks into small fragments

Soil Erosion Erosion is a natural process by which rock and soil are broken loose from the earth’s surface at one location and moved to another. Soil erosion forms and changes land by wearing down mountains filling valleys‚ and making rivers appear and disappear. Erosion is usually a slow and gradual process that occurs over the course of thousands or millions of years. However the rate of erosion can be speeded up by such human activities as mining. How erosion occurs? Ero0sion begins with

The question being asked here would be “Does a plant grow bigger if watered with milk? Or water?” In my opinion the answer would be milk because milk contains vitamins and calcium that water does not have‚ but the answer is to be found out later during the project. Well‚ it is known that for a plant to survive it will definitely need air‚ soil‚ water‚ light‚ and space to grow‚ but maybe if we replaced water with milk‚ plants could grow bigger and quicker‚ you never know.
