disturbance in liquid. For example if the ball is dropped into water‚ its energy will affect the water‚ causing some amount to splashed out. When the ball is released from a height‚ its initial potential energy combined with the gravitational energy form a kinetic energy‚ which transmitted to the water. So I will investigate the relationship of drop height of the ball and the amount of water splashed out. Research question: How does the volume of water splashed out depend on drop height of the ball?

Causes of Soil Erosion Amanda Brown Environmental Science 136 Rainfall and runoff is a water erosion problem also known as splash erosion. This is the first stage in the erosion process. The impact of rainfall drops on the soil surface can break down soil aggregates as the impact of falling raindrops breaks up the topsoil. This erosion is caused by long lasting and less intense storms. Runoff can occur whenever there is excess water on a slope that can’t be absorbed into the soil or trapped

70% water and 30% of land. Our body is also composed of 2/3 of water. In other words life without water is INPOSIBLE.Imagine what would happen if amount of water in nature would be drastically reduced? I believe we all know the answer and the consequences. The entire flora‚ fauna and the entire human being will die slowly. Now a day‚ we have a lot of amount of water in our planet but that is a big paradox because a big part from that water is polluted. Basically living the life without water or with

Reuse‚ Revival‚ and Recarving: Ancient Granite Columns in Renaissance Rome Michael J. Waters Worcester College‚ University of Oxford michael.waters1@gmail.com Architects of the Italian Renaissance often quoted ancient architectural details in modern designs as an act of reference and revival. While historians frequently note this common method of transumption‚ the creation of all’antica architecture through the use of ancient building materials has gone largely ignored. This paper argues that the

Yersinia pestis bacteria may form different types of the plague; bubonic‚ septicemic‚ and pneumonic. The bubonic plague is the most common form of yersinia pestis that attacks and infects the lymphatic system of the organisms‚ once resulting to one-third to one-half of the Europeans population wiped out in the year 1347. The lymphatic system works closely with the immune system‚ therefore the bacteria is incredibly harmful for the whole body. (http://www.ukessays.co.uk/essays/biology/bubonic-plague

Soil Liquefaction Dangers During Earthquakes An earthquake brings a number of hazards: • Ground shaking and shifting can cause major damage‚ tearing apart houses‚ buildings‚ and roads. • Flooding that arises from broken water dams or river levees is another hazard. • Tsunamis‚ triggered by an undersea earthquake as well as seiches – waves coming from lakes shaken by a temblor – can submerge whole communities‚ sweep away edifices‚ topple trees and drown people. • Fire is another seismic hazard

Toenails are made up of keratin and are our protective shield for the tissue on our toes. The condition of our nails can be a direct indicator of our overall health. Many things can go wrong if we ignore our nails and what they are telling us. Common disorders and diseases that affect the toes are bacterial and fungal infections‚ warts‚ tumors‚ and ingrown toenails. Ingrown Toenails Onychocryptosis is the correct medical term for ingrown toenail. Ingrown toenails are one of the most common nail

Soil properties: Some physical and chemical properties of the soil were measured‚ which are presented in Table 1. The availability of nutrients and even contaminants depends on the degree of soil acidity. The most suitable pH for soil microorganism’ activity is 7‚ as nutrient solubility depends on soil pH changes (Riser-Roberts‚ 1998). The soil used in the present study has neutral pH and therefore does not limit the activity of microorganisms or the solubility of nutrients except for phosphorus

Kielder Water Kielder water is a manmade reservoir in the UK . Located in Northumberland‚ in the Cheviot Hills of NE England‚ it measures 10.86 square kilometres (4.19 sq mi) and was completed in 1981. The lake holds 200‚000 million litres and was constructed over a 6 year period to satisfy an expected rise in demand for water to support a growing UK industrial economy. Its primary inflows are River North Tyne‚ Kielder Burn and Lewis Burn Economic impacts: The reservoir earns a lot of money
