Written Assignment Unit 4 ENVS 1301 – AY2018-T1 WATER CYCLE Collins Addo INTRODUCTION Water is a very important need in life. Species get water to sustain their lives‚ water is used domestically and industrially. Water is the most essential compound for Earth’s life in general. Human babies are approximately 75% water and adults are 60% water. Our brain is about 85% water‚ blood and kidneys are 83% water‚ muscles are 76% water‚ and even bones are 22% water. (Dorsner‚ 2017) About 70% of Earth’s surface

The Accounting Cycle Five Cycles of Accounting The accounting cycle consists of five components: revenue‚ expenditures‚ financing‚ conversion‚ and fixed assets (Bagranoff‚ Simkin‚ & Strand‚ 2008). There are many business activities within a company that will take place in each of these cycles. The revenue cycle incorporates sales and cash receipts. Expenditures are the decrease in cash assets to acquire goods or services necessary to operate. The conversion cycle is a continual process that

and explain how rock cycle operates. How do rocks metamorphose at destructive plate boundary? Rock cycle is a cycle that describes how rocks are transformed. Igneous rock can change into sedimentary rock or metamorphic rock. Sedimentary rock can change into metamorphic rock or into igneous rock. Metamorphic rock can change into igneous or sedimentary rock. Besides‚ metamorphism at the destructive plate boundaries creates different characteristics of rocks. Operation of the rock cycle The

Chapter 10 (Business Cycles) Business Cycles (business Flucuations) The ups and downs in economy wide economic activities are called business cycles or busyiness fluctuations. When business fluctuations are positive they are called expansion‚ the opposite of expansion is contraction which is slow down in the pace of national economic activities. Phases of the business cycle over a several year period 1. A peak is when business activity reaches a temporary maximum with full employment and near

Hydrologic Cycle March 3‚ 2013 With every year that passes more and more fossil fuels are being released into the atmosphere. Over the past decade‚ climate changes‚ El Niño‚ and the increase in greenhouse gasses are being discussed more as earth friendly groups are trying to make the public aware of the negative situations the earth is facing. What would happen to the hydrologic cycle if the earth’s climate continues to get hotter? Is it too late to change humans’ patterns of behavior and

A cycle is defined as any complete round or series of occurrences that repeats or is repeated in the same order and at the same intervals. The natural existence of cycles is highly important without cycles resources would run out and organisms would die. The amount of carbon nitrogen and oxygen on the earth is fixed‚ they can exists in different forms but no more may be added. So that these don’t run out they are cycles so they may be reused. Photosynthesis and respiration are the reverse of each

Nitrogen cycle A simple and complete diagram of the nitrogen cycle. The blue boxes represent stores of nitrogen‚ the green writing is for processes that occur to move the nitrogen from one place to another and the red writing are all the bacteria involved. The nitrogen cycle is the process by which nitrogen is converted between its various chemical forms. This transformation can be carried out through both biological and physical processes. Important processes in the nitrogen cycle include fixation

business cycle is unavoidable because‚ in part‚ it is the economical representation of a volatile element: human psychology. In the example above‚ consumers are predictable. But we all know consumer preferences and their senses of well-being change‚ sometimes overnight. The new fashion‚ the hot stock‚ the trendy social cause or diet can change instantly. Sentiment about a nation’s political and economic health shifts the day following a big news story. What’s trendy and positive one day‚ can literally

Elena Chen CH 221-227 November 3rd‚ 2009 Lab Report #3: Copper Cycle Abstract: The purpose of the experiment is to cycle solid copper through a series of five reactions. At different stages of the cycle‚ copper was present in different forms. First reaction involves reaction between the copper and nitric acid‚ and copper changed from elemental state to an aqueous. The second reaction converted the aqueous Cu2+ into the solid copper (2) hydroxide. In the third reaction Cu(OH)2 decomposed into

Astronomical Cycles and Their Effects on Planet Earth By Harry Mowat The orbit of the Moon around the sun The Moon orbits around the Earth every 27.3 days. The Moon’s orbit around the Earth is not a circular orbit but more of an eclipse and the orientation or the orbit is not fixed but differs in time. The Earth and the Moon are both actually orbiting the sun (the Moon at a much faster rate) but in the process of that orbit the Moon orbits Earth. This process is the main cause of tide formations
