Oil And Protecting The Environment
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 357.... technologies, the industry has made tremendous progress in
preventing spills over the past decade.
In 1997, the latest year that Coast Guard statistics are complete, the
volume of oil spilled in U.S. waters declined by two-thirds compared to
the year before, representing the lowest amount recorded since the Coast
Guard began publishing data in 1973. And more than three-fourths of those
spills were under 10 gallons -- less than a car's fuel tank holds.
Even as the industry strives to reduce the number and size of oil spills
still further, we've also learned a lot over the p .....

Global Warming ------
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 847.... have been the same with carbon dioxide level highs and lows, this does not seem to be a mere coincidence.
Carbon dioxide currently accounts for 0.03% of the gas content within the atmosphere. However, it has a adverse impact on the earth's temperature. Thus, minor fluctuations in the percentage of atmospheric carbon dioxide will likely have a significant effect on the global temperature. The percentage of atmospheric carbon dioxide has risen over the past century at an alarming rate. Industrial civilization is essentially driven by fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gasol .....

The History Of Carbon
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1117.... of true gem quality are not
made in this way (Beggott 3-4).
Graphite is another form of carbon. It occurs as a mineral in nature, but it
can be made artificially from amorphous carbon. One of the main uses for
graphite is for its lubricating qualities. Another is for the "lead" in pencils.
Graphite is used as a heat resistant material and an electricity conductor. It
is also used in nuclear reactors as a lubricator (Kinoshita 119-127).
Amorphous carbon is a deep black powder that occurs in nature as a component of
coal. It may be obtained artificially from almost .....

Earthquakes 2
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 526.... mass within the earth's crust. The depth and the length of faults vary tremendously. Earthquakes are caused by faults that are active. An active fault is a fault along which the two sides of the fracture move with respect to each other. An earthquake is caused by the sudden movement of the two sides of the fault.
Faults are divided into three main groups, depending on how they move. There are normal faults which occur in response to pulling or tension. There are thrust faults which are caused as a result of squeezing or compression. The third group is strike-slip faul .....

Reproduction: A Courting To Nature
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 967.... a famed Austrian naturalist, made detailed studies of Greylags and
afterwards showed no hesitation in using words like love, grief and even
embarrassment to describe the behavior of these large, social birds.
At the same time he did not forget that all romance - animal and human - is
tied intimately to natural selection. Natural selection brought on the
evolution of males and females during prehistoric epochs when environmental
change was making life difficult for single-sex species such as bacteria
and algae. Generally, these reproduced by splitting into identical copie .....

Genetic Engineering: Correcting The Code
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1116.... accepted practice. It is a safe
way to create good quality foods, create new lives, and cure diseases.
In May of 1994, the Food and Drug Administration approved a
genetically engineered tomato called “Flavr Savr”. Many people cringe at
the thought of eating them. These tomatoes, though, are proven better and
healthier even though they are slow ripening. The idea of altering a
plant's traits seems radical and new, but scientists have been doing it for
years by breeding desired qualities into crops (Henkel 10). “Subsequently,
seven vegetables were brought to market under th .....
