processes may be observed: photosynthesis‚ respiration‚ and the water cycle. The water in the terrarium is constantly recycled‚ passing from liquid form to gas and back again. As the moisture in the air condenses on the glass walls‚ it returns to the soil and is absorbed by the plants’ roots. Objectives: 1. To determine the stages of the water cycle 2. To observe‚ compare and contrast their observations with other groups. 3. To compare the actual ecosystem to your simple terrarium.

base flow. Overland flow is the movement of rainwater over land. It occurs when either the storm is too heavy for water to infiltrate into the soil‚ where the soil is impermeable or when the soil has become saturated. Infiltration is the downward movement of water through tiny pores in the soil. Through flow is the water reaching the river through the soil and the underlying rock layers. Base flow is the water stored at a depth in rocks. I agree to a large extent that urbanization within a drainage

The animals also rely on trees for its nutrients as the waste (fallen leaves) is recycled by invertebrates‚ fungi and bacteria in the soil to provide nutrients to the tree and other organisms. They can also rely on trees by eating the leaves directly and getting the nutrients straight from the leaf‚ as they cannot provide it themselves and if trees do not exist‚ animals will not have

Leaves as Mulch for Solanum lycopersicum (Tomato) ABSTRACT Mulching in agricultural provides a safe yet equally profitable method of enriching and fertilizing the soil planted with crops. Most often-used mulches are of organic composition‚ such as dry leaves and barks. These organic mulches pose no or little damage to the soil and crops. This study deals with the effectiveness of dried papaya leaves as organic mulch for tomato. This study further aims to evaluate the results and compare it

to healthy soil and a healthy environment. Composting is a cost- efficient way of getting rich natural soil for a very cheap price. There are numerous types of compost bins available to make; each enable the growth of lawns and gardens. A compost pile is usually made from fruit and vegetable scraps‚ newspaper and grass clippings‚ worms (that act as decomposers)‚ and leaves. Hypothesis According to the concept of composting it is more than likely that rich filled nutrient soil will be produced

Titicaca drainage basin. The tributaries of Lake Titcaca deposit all thier sediments when entering the lake so the lake is not above TDS values. However‚ the rivers oftentimes are above 1000 mg/L TDS. There also did not appear to be any man made contamination in Lake Titicaca. However‚ Lake Titicaca did test values of Tungsten ranging from 0.3 to 7.2 mg/L. The limit for human consumption is 0.05 mg/L. Tin values ranged from 0.1-0.8 mg/L. The majority of these values were above the 0.2 mg/L allowed
