Creation Of The Beach
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1256.... is suspended in sea water and transported along the coast by the longshore current, a stream of water flowing parallel to the beach that is created by the action of waves breaking at an angle to shore. Longshore transport can deliver up to a million cubic yards of sediment annually to a single beach. In the second process, sand deposited onshore by the longshore current is then oscillated by waves breaking onto and receding from the beach. This continual onshore-offshore movement gradually pushes the sand along the beach edge. both the longshore transport of sediment along .....

Air Pollution
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 788.... and factories contribute significantly to . Electric power plants that burn coal or oil in also releases pollutants into the atmosphere. The major pollutants from these source are nitrogen- oxides, sulfur-oxides, and carbon dioxide.
The rapid growth of population and industry, and the increased use of automobiles and airplanes has made a very serious and complicated problem. The air we know today and breathe has become so filled with pollutants that it can cause little health problems to fatal health problems such as lung cancer. Polluted air also harms most kinds .....

Army Ants
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 861.... of thousands
of ants and set out from the bivouac in various directions. They form two or
three parties going out simultaneously in different directions for 100 yards or
more. In the U.S. army we attack countries in different areas to weaken the
force we are attacking. We send out thousands of troops in various directions
and try to surround the source of the location being attacked. For instance, if
there are several locations that needed to be attacked to weaken the enemy, like
their weapon storage or air force base, we send several sets of troops to attack
each indivi .....

Is Science Necessary For Our Future?
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 653.... upon
completion of his monster, realized the immorality of his work and rejected
it and disassociated himself from it and science. The result of
Frankenstein's immorality was death for just about everyone he loved and
utter despair for himself. The monster was not necessary for our future
and neither were the methods of his creation. Because of the doctor's
irresponsibility, he lost everything including his life.
The monster, spawned by the immoral science of Frankenstein, was
witness to another way of life other than the one of Dr. Frankenstein. The
monster, over a .....

Microwaves
Number of pages: 6 | Number of words: 1380.... many times smaller. This enabled
them to make more effective use of radar since an antenna could be carried
on aircraft, ships and mobile ground stations.
This characteristic of microwaves, the efficiency with which they are
concentrated in a narrow beam, is one reason why they can be used in
cooking. You can produce a high-powered microwave beam in a small oven,
but you can't do the same with radio waves, which are simply too long.
Microwaves and their Use
The idea of cooking with radiation may seem like a fairly new one, but in
fact it reaches back thousands of years. E .....

Aluminium
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 493.... such as
felspar (KAlSi3O8) is the main constituent of many rocks such as granite, which
is quartz and mica cemented together with felspar. These rocks are gradually
weathered and broken down by the action of carbon-dioxide from the air dissolved
in rainwater forming ‘kaolin'. This is further broken down to form other
substances, ultimately resulting in the formation of Aluminium deposits.
Where and how Aluminium is mined?
Aluminium is never found in it's pure state until it has been refined. Aluminium
is made when refining alumina, which is in turn found from the ore ‘bauxite .....

Basic Discription Of Microbiology
Number of pages: 8 | Number of words: 1992.... They also describe microbes as organisms that are often too small to be seen without the aid of a microscope. Microbes, also known as microorganisms, can be broken down into four classifications that are bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa.
Prescott, Harley & Klein (1990) describe bacteria as prokaryotic cells (cells that lack a true membrane enclosed nucleus). Bacteria are both small and simple in structure; they usually are between o.5 and 5cmm yet they have many characteristic shapes and sizes. Some bacteria are circular or oval shaped, they are known .....

Arthritis 2
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 867.... the changes that occur in the joints of people with rheumatoid arthritis and osteo-arthritis are assumed to be caused by a disease process, when in fact they are often a consequence of relative immobility. These findings underscore the enormous importance of exercise in the fight against arthritis.
You should realize that immobility will set off the destructive set of events. After four or five months, such degeneration may be quite well along, so that even if you initiate a program of vigorous exercise, you may have to wait up to a year for the joint's normal motion to return .....
