geography The Cassiterides‚ meaning Tin Islands (from the Greek word for tin: Κασσίτερος/Kassiteros)‚ are an ancient geographical name of islands that were regarded as situated somewhere near the west coasts of Europe. The traditional assumption‚ ignoring Strabo‚ is that Cassiterides refer to Great Britain‚ based on the significant tin deposits in Cornwall.

However‚ water bottles break. When it is broken‚ I throw it in the rubbish bins provided‚ NOT the recycling bin. Why? I think that recycling is somewhat a pointless exercise. It is not totally useless though. I recycle aluminium cans and such. The reason why I recycle aluminium cans and not plastics bottles will be discussed

If you think about it‚ much of what we throw away could be used again. It makes sense to reuse and recycle our rubbish instead of just trying to solve

A phase diagram will be generated from these cooling curves. When a material is heated by adding energy at a constant rate‚ the temperature of the material will increase linearly with time‚ provided a phase transformation does not occur. As temperature of the sample becomes

Coastal management involves developing strategies that are designed to protect and preserve the coastal environment. The actions of humans have altered the operation of the natural coastal processes. During our fieldwork we have learned the key issues of coastal management and their strategies and the way they address them at Cronulla Beach. The three key geographical processes that shape the coastal environment are erosion‚ transportation and deposition. The key issues relating to coastal management

recyclable materials are reprocessed into new products‚ and as a result the amount of rubbish sent to landfill sites reduces. There are over 1‚500 landfill sites in the UK‚ and in 2001‚ these sites produced a quarter of the UK’s emissions of methane‚ a powerful greenhouse gas. Also what happens to the land we use to dump all our rubbish‚ eventually it will fill up and we won’t have anywhere else to dump our rubbish at‚ we will end up with more landfills the more we recycle. I talked about this issue
