The Potential Effects Of A Depleted Ozone Layer - Detrykowski
Number of pages: 9 | Number of words: 2351.... to man - made chemicals (
Bowermaster et al, 1990, p.27 ). If enough of these man - made chemicals are
released, "the ozone layer would be weakened to such an extent that it does not
filter out the sun's invisible and dangerous ultraviolet rays " ( Jones, 1992,
p.36 ). Such a scenario would drastically alter society and the environment.
Ozone depletion has been described as "potential catastrophe " and " a planetary
time - bomb " ( Way, 1988, p.9 ). The four main areas affected by a depleted
ozone layer and thus by the corresponding increase in harmful ultraviolet
radiation a .....

3. Why did you put your syringes containing leaf material in the dark prior to illumination?
The reason this was done was to make sure as little oxygen as possible was contained in the leaf material. This coused the experimrnt to run properly. If the leaf material was not placed in the dark, the dark reaction would not have occured using up all the oxygen. If there was still oxygen in the leaf material, the data collected would have been off. The reason for this is that the leaves would have risen to the top of the liqiud quicker, because th .....

Earth's Climate And Seasons: ‘How Do They Relate?’
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 393.... amount about even, for example, at 40%S and 40%N latitude because the rays sort of fan out from the equator. While the earth is revolving around the sun, it is also rotating on it’s own axis. One full rotation equals one day or twenty- four hours. At the middle of the day, noon, the sun is as direct as it can be, and this is also the hottest time of the day. But, when Earth makes one half turn, it changes to night when all of the air cools off, because the sun is on the opposite side of the earth. Without night, Earth would become unbearably hot in the summer. The su .....

Tundra And The Artic
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1345.... the summers are cool and short. Also due to the fact that much of
it's territory is located within the northern pole a lot of the Tundra receives
alternating 6 month periods of light and dark. This is also the reason why the
Tundra receives cold weather; at it's degree of latitude the suns rays end up
hitting the region obliquely, thus causing less solar heat. Here are the
temperatures of the Tundra in general:
Average January temperature: -32.1 degrees Celsius
Average July temperature: +4.1 degrees Celsius
Temperature range: 36.2 degrees Celsius
Average annual temperature: .....

Bacillus Anthracis spores also may live in soil for years. The only way to destroy the spores is by steam sterilization or burning. There has been no evidence of person to person transmission of the disease, though Anthrax was a subject of great concern for the military in t .....
