What happens when oil does peak? by Joel Bainerman Peak oil is often referred to as "Hubberts Peak"‚ a geophysicist who observed that oil well production followed a bell curve. According to the mainstream‚ convention view‚ peak oil is set to occur around 2006-2008. When peak oil occurs‚ production will decline approximately 3% per year at a time where global demand is increasing at 3% per year. What will all this mean for you and me- the average folk? Which industries will suffer the most- and

Research on gas masks I researched gas masks. I found out about: The history Gas masks were issued to all British civilians at the start of World War 2. In Britain fear was around because the British government thought that the Nazi German bombers would drop poison gas bombs. At the start of the war some citizens had not been issued with a gas mask. In a government document "If war should come" the explanation for this was that district leaders might have decided to keep gas masks in storage

great detail how these people were treated in his then and now famous book this way for the gas ladies and gentlemen. Tadek a character in the story shows conflicting attitudes with other in the camp with sympathy‚ anger‚ and moral outrage. Borowski’s short stories show mans inhumanity towards man. There are events from the shorty stories that make his descriptions of the horrors of Auschwitz so shocking and memorable. Memories are short stories like the beginning of This Way for The Gas‚ A Day at Harmenz

Ideal Gas Law: The ideal gas law is the equation of state of a hypothetical ideal gas. It obeys Boyle’s Law and Charles Law. Ideal Gas Law Formula : General Gas Equation: PV = nRT Pressure(P) = nRT / V Volume(V) = nRT / P Temperature(T) = PV / nR Moles of Gas(n) = PV / RT where‚ P = pressure‚ V = volume‚ n = moles of gas‚ T = temperature‚ R = 8.314 J K-1 mol-1‚ ideal gas constant. Ideal Gas Law Example: Case 1: Find the volume from the 0.250 moles gas at 200kpa and 300K temperature

Earthquake‚ shaking of the Earth’s surface caused by rapid movement of the Earth’s rocky outer layer. Earthquakes occur when energy stored within the Earth‚ usually in the form of strain in rocks‚ suddenly releases. This energy is transmitted to the surface of the Earth by earthquake waves. The destruction an earthquake causes depends on its magnitude and duration‚ or the amount of shaking that occurs. A structure’s design and the materials used in its construction also affect the amount of damage

Gas exchange is the movement of respiratory gases across a membrane. It is the delivery of oxygen to the body‚ and the elimination of carbon dioxide from the body .The reason why gas exchange takes place because oxygen is one of the most essential requirements of life‚ without which organisms on Earth would not survive. Living organisms generate energy from food through the process of respiration. This allows humans and other organisms to perform their daily tasks. Oxygen is used in mitochondria
