ammonia and methane. The outer third is a mixture of heated gases comprised of
hydrogen, helium, water and methane. The atmospheric composition is 85%
Hydrogen, 13% Helium, and 2% methane. The planet's atmosphere, particularly
the outer layers, contains substantial amounts of methane gas. Absorption of
red light by the atmospheric methane is responsible for Neptune's deep blue
color. Neptune is a dynamic planet with several large, dark spots reminiscent of
Jupiter's hurricane-like storms. The largest spot, known as the Great Dark Spot,
is about the size of the .....

water. It is mostly preferred that this water exists in liquid form, but
there are possibilities t .....

· As a result of higher precipitation in recent years, sulphur deposition has not dropped as much as might be expected from the reductions in emissions.
· Estimates of how much pollution the environment can absorb without damage are called critical loads.
· Sulphur, like nitrogen, is essential to all animals and plants. The natural sulphur cycle includes volcanic emissions, sulphate in sea salts, and sulphur compounds produced by marine organisms. On a global basis, emissions from such sources are of about the same order of magnitude as thos .....

Air Pollution
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 475.... of the increased number of motor vehicles. Exhaust fumes from the engines of automobiles contain a number of polluting substances, including carbon monoxide and a variety of complex hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and other compounds. When acted upon by sunlight, these substances undergo a change in composition producing the brown, photochemical smog for which Los Angeles is well known. Efforts to reduce pollution from automobile engines and to develop pollution-free engines may eventually eliminate the more serious problems. In the meantime, however, has driven many forms of .....

Killer Bees
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 500.... limited to the southern and coastal states in the United States. They have hybridized to some extent with resident wild and hive populations of European honeybees. However, many of the basic African honeybee traits remain, including rapid population growth, frequent swarming, minimal hoarding of honey, the ability to survive on sparse supplies of pollen and nectar, and a highly defensive nature.
Africanized honeybees are more difficult to manage than European honeybees and produce less honey. The businesses of many beekeepers in Latin American countries have failed as a resu .....

RESULTS
I am writing down what everyone recorded for me. I am first:
JOSH: I could see black blood vessels with orange in the background...it looked
like a lot of dead tree.
BRENDA: The blood vessels resembled jagged lighting bolts or trees in the winter
time.
LAURA: I saw crooked lines that didn't stand still, but kept changing.
DARWIN: The image appeared to be in front of the body and quite enlarged. I
found that it takes pra .....
