white light (from the sun)‚ through a prism (raindrops) into a visible spectrum. To see the rainbow the viewer must be between the raindrops and the sun. The sunlight will bounce off the raindrops and bounce into your eyes. Although‚ sunlight is primarily white light‚ the colors present in a rainbow become visible because the sunlight reflected and also refracted and dispersed all while inside the raindrops. The raindrop acts like a prism‚ splitting the white light from the sun into visible

located near the shoreline. In this zone there is abundant light‚ nutrients and plants. Those plants provide protection and food for animals‚ insects and crustaceans. The limnetic zone is offshore‚ where the water is deep and it receives enough sunlight to support life. There are tiny forms of life called as phytoplankton‚ which are tiny plant forms‚ and zooplankton‚ which are tiny animal forms. Those tiny forms of life lead to bigger animals’ life such as fish‚ which feed from those planktons.

The branches are often densely covered with other plants and tied together with vines. The canopy is home to 90% of the organisms found in the rain forest; many seeking the brighter light in the treetops. The understory layer This layer receives only 2-15% of the sunlight that falls on the canopy. The plants

A few trees though can grow in a swamp area such as the common bald cypress and water tupelo. They are found commonly in southern area swamps (2001). Aquatic plants have special adaptations to their living environment. One adaptation is in submersed plants. They are adapted in being grown deep underwater where sometime sunlight may be limited for the

Although global temperatures fluctuate naturally‚ over the past 50 years the average global temperature has augmented at its fastest rate in recorded history. The emission of greenhouse gasses such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2)‚ Nitrous Oxide (N2O) and Methane (CH4) render the Earth’s atmosphere more transparent to visible radiation from the sun than to infrared radiation emitted and reflected from the planet’s surface (NASA Earth Observatory). With this extra heat trapped within the atmosphere‚ the temperature

II – Conclusion III - References SUMMARY Not all colors are the result of subtraction and addition of light. Some colors like the blue sky result from the selective scattering of the colors of light by particles in the atmosphere. The color scattered by the particles depends on

Five variables that should be controlled during the experiment is the amount of sunlight‚ room temperature‚ amount of water‚ the time of day the plant is watered and the certain type of plant. To make sure the plants get the same amount of sunlight‚ make sure to put them both in the same spot so that one plant doesn’t get more sunlight than the other. To make sure they both stay in the same room temperature‚ put them both in the same room. With the amount
