Weathering & Erosion Weathering is the process that produces change in the surface of rocks exposed to the atmosphere and/or hydrosphere. Physical weathering is breaking rock by force. ex: hitting‚ scratching‚ cracking Frost action (AKA ice wedging)- Water seeps into small cracks in rocks. When the water freezes it expands creating great pressure. The crack widens and allows water to seep deeper into the rock. (Robert Frost’s Mending Wall makes a reference to a frost heave

Creating the Bog Garden: The Advanced Bog Garden 1. Dig the outlined bog to a depth of 12-14”‚ removing soil to form a basin. The bottom should be mostly flat‚ level‚ or slightly pitched. The sides should go mostly straight down. 2. If moles or tunneling rodents are a problem on the property‚ line the basin with galvanized hardware cloth‚ screening‚ or heavy‚ woven weed cloth/barrier. Use rot/rust resistant materials. 3. Line the bottom and sides of the basin with 4-6 millimeter plastic sheeting

In the decomposition chamber‚ it housed the entire time we started with leaves and some fruit which decomposed into the soil. When the project was over‚ it was nearly all decomposed. In the terrestrial chamber‚ the flora flourished the entire time. Our plants were always green. We planted a few mung bears‚ which by the end‚ had grown out of the tip. Overall‚ our eco-column

Introduction Ecology is the study of environmental systems‚ or as it is sometimes called‚ the economy of nature (Hall and Weiss‚ 2010). It studies interactions between different organisms and their environments‚ including relations within its own species and members of others. Ecology focuses more on the population

water‚ generally an ocean. Environmental issues are problems with the planet’s systems (air‚ water‚ soil‚ etc.) that have developed as a result of human interference or mistreatment of the planet. One of the major environmental issues with the Himalayas is deforestation. Most of the trees in the Sub-Himalayas have been cut for land and lumber. Because of the deforestation‚ other issues like soil erosion and landslides have arisen. Overpopulation is another problem in the Himalayas. "Nearly 40 million

The people were evacuated‚ but the area was completely polluted. The stock started eating plants that grow in polluted soils and the meet that was taken from the cow and eaten by humans had an accumulation of toxins. To prevent this the state start planting green plants in the polluted soil to remove the toxins

an excellent rotation crop of cotton‚ maize‚ groundnut‚ wheat‚ and sorghum. It reduces nematode populations that attack cotton and groundnut. It is also an excellent soil builder- it improves the soil texture and moisture retention and lessens soil erosion: the composted sesame leaves left on the soil binds the ground; retains soil moisture better for planting the next crop; increases the yield of the following crop. Sesame is resistant to drought‚ tolerant to insect pests and diseases‚ a low cost

General • The Rational Formula is one of the most frequently used urban hydrology methods in Malaysia. It gives satisfactory results for small catchments only • The formula is: C . y It . A Qy = 360 where‚ Qy = y year ARI peak flow (m3/s) C= dimensionless runoff coefficient yI t = y year ARI average rainfall intensity over time of concentration‚ tc ‚ (mm/hr) A= drainage area (ha) Or Q=CiA i = average rainfall intensity (in/hr)equals to tc A = catchment area

problem that most farmers face today is the lack of Farming in knowledge the general public has about modern procedures. Modern farming procedures have less impact on the environment than methods widely used early in the 20th century. Soil erosion inhibitors‚ soil carbon monitoring‚ and water conservation and collection have all improved over time. Second: They looked down upon by locals costs of product (seeds fertilizer etc.) weather‚ availability of water‚ cost of equipment-purchase repair maintain
