Crust is the first and upper most layer of the Earth. There is Continental Crust which sits on top of Oceanic Crust. This layer is made frequently from granite rocks and is solid. Continental Crust is approximately 32km. Below the Continental Crust is Oceanic Crust. It is about 8km. This part of the Crust is made from basalt rocks. The Crust is most of lithosphere and is the coolest layer by far. Mantle is like silly putty consistency. It is the largest layer of Earth sitting under the Crust.

Into Thin Air takes place in the area around and on Mount Everest in the year 1996. This is significant because at that altitude‚ the oxygen level isn’t as high as it would be at sea level. With their brains not receiving enough oxygen‚ the climbers were not able to think at their full mental capacity. Therefore many simple mistakes were made that should not have been. High altitude cerebral edema and high altitude pulmonary edema caused problems with some of the climbers and Sherpas. Beck Weather’s

Skin Layers 1. Epidermis The epidermis is the outer most layer of skin. It is built up of 5 layers (from the outside in) - stratum corneum is made of dead flat skin cells - stratum licidum - stratum granulosum - stratum spinosum - stratum basale Where cells divide and push previously formed cells into the upper layers. As the cells travel into the higher layers‚ they flatten and die‚ eventually. Specialized Epidermal Cells - melanocyte - produces pigment (melanin) - Langerhans’

The purpose of column chromatography is to separate one compound from another by the differing polarities in the compound. This technique is important in organic chemistry because certain experiments may require the separation of compounds in solution to be used for chemical synthesis and/or analysis of a particular desired product by isolating it. Fluorene is to be separated from 9-fluorenone using the technique of column chromatography. The success of separation and purity is determined with analyzation

Layers of the Atmosphere The envelope of gas surrounding the Earth changes from the ground up. Five distinct layers have been identified using... • thermal characteristics (temperature changes)‚ • chemical composition‚ • movement‚ and • density. Each of the layers are bounded by "pauses" where the greatest changes in thermal characteristics‚ chemical composition‚ movement‚ and density occur. Troposphere The troposphere begins at the Earth’s surface and extends from 4 to 12 miles (6 to 20

CO2 on the rate of Photosynthesis in Spinach Leaves Introduction Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct. The purpose of this experiment is to see how different concentrations of carbon dioxide affect the rate of photosynthesis in spinach leaves. I hypothesize that the greater

BOUNDARY LAYER THEORY INTRODUCTION The concept of boundary layer was 1st introduced by L.Prandtl in 1904. Figure 7-1. Viscous flow around airfoil A structure having a shape that provides lift‚ propulsion‚ stability‚ or directional control in a flying object. Boundary layer is formed whenever there is a relative motion between the boundary and the fluid. Boundary layer thickness: 1. Standard thickness - signified by ‚” it is define as the distance from the boundary layer

and various trace gases make up the remainder. Scientists divided the atmosphere into four layers according to temperature: troposphere‚ stratosphere‚ mesosphere‚ and thermosphere. The temperature drops as we go up through the troposphere‚ but it rises as we move through the next layer‚ the stratosphere. The farther away from earth‚ the thinner the atmosphere gets. 1.TROPOSPHERE This is the layer of the atmosphere closest to the Earth’s surface‚ extending up to about 10-15 km above the Earth’s
