Acid Rain And Its Effects
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 588.... streams suffer from chronic acidity (a condition which water has a constant low pH level) this makes them susceptible to acid rain because of their limited ability to neutralize acidic compounds. This results in many lakes and streams being completely dead of fish and all other living things.
Acid rain also greatly contributes to forest degradation, even more so to high-elevated trees, it also impairs the tree growth. Acid rain effects forest soil. As acid moves through soils, it strips away vital plant nutrients through chemical reaction, resulting in a threat to future fore .....

Cancer 4
Number of pages: 6 | Number of words: 1512.... than benign tissue and they invade normal tissue. Benign tissue is structured similar to normal tissue while malignant tissue is abnormal and has an unstructured appearance. Of greater importance, benign tissue does not metastasize, or begin to grow in other sites, like malignant tumors do. Cancer always refers to metastasized tumors but the term tumor is not always necessarily cancer. A tumor is any living tissue that is #1 distinguishable as abnormal living tissue.
After a cancer forms, it can also change from a benign to a malignant state, therefore making .....

Geology Fo Mars
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1330.... referred to as the “Highlands” of Mars. The area is pitted with numerous craters that reach between one to four km above the datum. Ejecta from the impact scatter around the crater making a rim like structure.
The northern hemisphere is very low compared to the southern hemisphere. In the north the ground level rarely reaches above one km below the datum. This stark contrast between north and south is thought to have happened 3 Gyr ago. The south was continuously bombarded with meteors. The north would get hit but it would erode or volcanic flows would cove .....

An Experiment In Edge Damage
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 983.... thick, from a local deciduous tree was used
as the wood subject. The exact species of the tree is unknown; however, it
was a very hard wood and a light brown/tan color.
Initially, medium pressure was used on the flake and it was moved
in bi-directional strokes across the stick. After about thirty strokes,
the use edge angle prohibited the flake from cutting further in to the
stick. The cut was roughly three millimeters deep and three quarters
millimeters wide. It could be determined that a tool, in this particular
shape, could not be used as an effective saw. How .....

How Humans And Fish Obtain Oxygen
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 779.... of the trachea into the two different lungs it is used to carry oxygen to different parts of the body. These bronchus break into many bronchioles which then branch into many many microscopic tubs that cary the oxygen to every part of the lung till they meet the thin sacs called aveoli. Aveoli are thin sacs in the lungs that carry oxygen in and carbon dioxide out of the blood stream. They diffuse the oxygen into the blood cells that need it and in turn diffuse carbon dixoxide out. Diffusion is an easy method for the transfer of oxygen because it dosent take any energy and .....

Mellville And Darwin's Writings On The Galapagos Islands
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 977.... with the Galapagos islands, or
"Encantadas," as he chooses to refer to them as and paints a picture of the
Galapagos Islands using everyday terms. An important part of Mellville's style
is that the he never directly describes the islands. "Take five-and-twenty heaps
of cinders dumped here and there in an outside city lot" is how Mellville's
description of the Galapagos Islands begins. This reduces the Galapagos islands
from a large, nearly inconceivable place to objects of which most any reader
can create a mental picture. When Mellville describes the flora of the .....

Causes Of Schizophreniz
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1282.... is a disease of neural connectivity caused by multiple factors that affect brain development. (3,4,5)
Our current model of the causation of schizophrenia is very similar to that used to understand cancer. That is, schizophrenia probably occurs as a consequence of multiple "hits," which include some combination of inherited genetic factors and external, nongenetic factors that affect the regulation and expression of genes governing brain function or that injure the brain directly. Some people may have a genetic predisposition that requires a convergence of additional factors t .....
