Our Earth is a place where beauty exists‚ a place where 6.6 billion people and 15 million other species live‚ a place filled with 1.4 cubic kilometers of water. Although 70% of the planet’s surface is blanketed with deep oceans water‚ freshwater only form less than 3% of the total water and the rest are saltwater. Besides that‚ only 30% of the

Explain your choices. As mentioned at the end of the Core Case Study‚ “emerging shortages of water for drinking and irrigation in many parts of the world” (which this particular river supplies to seven different states – which I was unaware of) and water pollution problems. Also the related problems of biodiversity loss

invisible bond that holds water molecules together. Water is a polar molecule‚ so it has plus and minus ends just like magnets that attract each other. When the water molecules align with each other they stick together‚ creating surface tension. You might think that it is the surface tension of the water that holds the skin of a bubble together. Actually‚ the surface tension of water is too strong to make a bubble. You can try yourself to blow a bubble with plain old water‚ it just won’t work! A good

The breaking of water stream under the light of total internal reflection of laser Jiho Yang Colegio Retamar Abstract In this paper‚ we report the circumstances that produce breaking of water stream. The usual way to visualize this is by using a strobe‚ as how they do in Science museums. Experimental methodology that we have used to investigate this topic is based on an experiment carried out by two scientists in 1850 that contributed to studies about total reflections. By using a laser

glaciers and polar ice caps melt. It demonstrated that the variation in density greatly affects salt water. I discovered that the increase in freshwater causes a decrease in density. I made three claims. First‚ the higher the salinity of the water is‚ the denser it will be. This was shown in my data by the fact that‚ with 0mL of fresh water‚ the density was 1.108 g/mL For every milliliter of fresh‚ pure water added‚ the density decreases by 0.015 grams per milliliter. I believe the density responded this

Salt Water Intrusion and Salination By: Ryan Tallman University of Phoenix 2009 In this modern world we are faced with many different issues. Sometimes we forget that the majority of our earth is covered in oceans and freshwater. Almost two thirds of the world’s population lives within 250 miles of an ocean coastline. One of the many issues we are facing in our waters is saltwater intrusion and salinization. Saltwater intrusion and salinization is defined as the increase of chloride ion concentrations

POLLUTION INTRODUCTION Pollution is the act of environmental humiliation and contamination with artificial waste. Air‚ water‚ and soil pollution is a serious complication‚ which affects everyone in the world. Some of the main causes of pollution is the lack of laws to new industries as well as a poorly educated society. Due to environmental pollution‚ the society has put pressure on the government to create and carry out diverse policies to the control of environmental pollutants. LAND POLLUTION

Citric Acid is one of the organic acids commonly used as a chelating agent. It is considered an excellent chelating agent that binds metals. It is used to remove lime scale from boilers and evaporators. It can be used to soften water‚ which makes it useful in soaps and laundry detergents. By chelating the metals in hard water‚ it lets these cleaners
