Insolation over the Globe Most natural phenomena on the Earth’s surface—from the downhill flow of a river to the movement of a sand dune to the growth of a forest—are powered by the Sun‚ either directly or indirectly. Although the flow of solar radiation to the Earth as a whole remains constant‚ different places on the planet receive different amounts of energy at different times. What causes this variation? Incoming solar radiation is known as insolation. It is a rate of flow of energy and is

Air Pollution – Emissions into Atmosphere Landfills create a clear and obvious threat to human health as well as a threat to our environment from the hazardous contaminated air emissions emitted from the landfill biodegradation. There are over ten toxic gases released from landfills‚ of the most serious of which is methane. Methane gas is naturally produced during the process of decay of organic matter. As methane gas is formed‚ it builds up pressure and then begins to move through the soil. In

Time and time again philosophers have come to agreement that a social contract exists. In this social contract people allow government to rule over them to create order because man’s general state of nature is as unruly as it is brutish

Within this simple phrase‚ Buddha left me pondering the true identity of our guide and wondering whether the general populace’s faith in scripture is ill-founded. The latter seems to be

SAMPLE PROBLEMS: 111-SET #1 VECTOR ADDITION‚ SUBTRACTION 01-1 1). A man is able to row a boat at 3 mph in still water. If he rows his boat pointed straight across a river with a current of 4 mph‚ what is his net velocity? If the river is 0.5 miles wide‚ at what point will he land on the other side? Solution: The first step in problem solving is to identify the problem type. In this problem we are asked for a ‘net velocity.’ Since velocities behave as vectors‚ then we have a vector addition

Over-dependence on technology The reliance on technology is expected and necessary because the technology is designed to be a flexible tool supporting work activities. This reliance is expected and necessary if the technology is to realize the potential for which it is designed. This fundamentally differs from over dependence on technology‚ in which those using technological innovations no longer treat them as flexible tools to support work activities‚ but instead make incorrect assumptions
