Endangered Manatee
Number of pages: 1 | Number of words: 219.... have been unable to find the cause of
these deaths. They suspect that the Red Tide off of the coast of southwest
Florida has some connection with these mysterious deaths. A red tide is a
bloom of flagellates which are deadly to marine life, but cause no harm to the
human population. Another possible cause is a virus that is unknown to
scientists. Many people believe that this problem will eventually stop an the
manatee population will flourish, but others are rather pessimistic.
Ecological Problem: The manatee population is quickly dying off and
unless they make .....

Oil Spills
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1362.... Sinking to the bottom of the beautiful waters, you wonder what that sticky black killer was. It's simple. It's crude. It's oil.
This scenario is nothing but a harsh reality that most people were unconcerned about until the disaster of the Exxon Valdez. The Valdez spill, tragically unnecessary though it was, has served as a laboratory for scientists, in which they can study the effects of oil pollution and experiment with new cleanup methods. It has also served as a costly lesson in the pitfalls of petroleum shipping and the shortcomings of emergency plans. It is .....

Hard Water
Number of pages: 9 | Number of words: 2266.... Water Quality Association, approximately “15percent of the Canadian population relies on individually owned and operated sources of drinking water, such as wells, cisterns and springs. On the other hand about 80percent of the population receives water from a community system”(1). Household pumps and community water systems a generally used by the majority of consumers. Household pumps are designed to pump ground water for household use, while a community system may use surface water or ground water for its supply. There are two main sources of water: surface wat .....

The Problem Of Global Warming
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 457.... into the atmosphere.
Another factor that most people would not consider in the raising of
global warming is the excrement of cows. Cows produces tons of carbon that does
not all get treated for, and is in the top five for highest amounts of carbon
produced per year. This is another factor that somehow has to be dealt with.
All of these causes of global warming have been know by scientists, it's
the effects we are seeing in today's climate now they had no idea of. Arctic
glaciers are melting and causing the ocean's water level to rise. It has be
proven that if the w .....

Drumlin Formation By Catastrophic Flooding
Number of pages: 12 | Number of words: 3070.... New York, southern Ontario, the northeast shore of Georgian Bay in Ontario, and to the interpretation of hummocky terrain in southern Alberta, and other areas, by various workers. Shaw suggested as many as 10 meltwater discharges, similar to those which caused the Livingstone Lake drumlins, would be needed to account for drumlin fields in other areas [Shoemaker, 1995, p. 3].
The subglacial meltwater hypothesis of Shaw et al has several parallels to an interpretation of drumlins as streamlined landforms caused by the currents of flood waters generated by uplift, presented in .....

Perception: Seeing Is Believing - UFOs
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 685.... seems certain scientists have come up with other hypotheses
concerning UFO's. While all astronomers yearn for a concrete explanation on
UFO's, their beliefs on their origin contrast. Many looking for a more
scientific definition disregard UFO's as nothing more than a mere
misinterpretation of a plane, weather balloon, or meteor. Some have gone so far
as to say that specific witnesses to UFO's have seen nothing more than a
hallucination and "wanted" to see a UFO so their minds adapted that idea into an
illusion to satisfy the urge.
Personally, I have had two encounte .....

The Effects Of Acid Rain On Lakes And Trees
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 594.... off. The effects of acid rain on a tree is shown if
it has less foliage, yellow spots and produces many cones (Baines, 22). Secondly, acid rain
damages the trees through the soil by releasing metals that harm them even further (Lucas, 72).
Acid rain makes the trees lose their leaves, so when the trees try to regrow their leaves, buds
come instead, this process is called a panic shoot (M. 15). Large land areas which used to be
covered with forests are now gone, dead or dying (Baines, 21). Around the 1980’s more than half .....

History Of The F-16
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 1077.... 1974. A level speed of Mach 2 at 40,000 ft was attained on March 11, 1974.
The production F-16A differed from the YF-16 in having a 13-inch fuselage extension to hold more fuel and the Westinghouse APG-66 radar. The wing area was increased by 20 square feet and an additional underwing hardpoint was fitted.
The first YF-16 was brought out on December 13, 1973 to make its first test flight at Fort Worth and was air freighted by C-5A to Edwards AFB on January 8, 1974. It was an unintended short hop around the pattern on January 21, 1974 at the hands of the test pilot Phi .....
