1.Explain how human interference in the water cycle can affect water availability The water cycle is the process of evaporation‚ condensation and precipitation of water on Earth including rain water and how it is distributed. Human factors such as forest clearing‚ urban construction and changes in land use can all affect the distribution of water. Infiltration can be affected by forest clearance. This also affects percolation and the water table. When there is rain the forests holds a lot of rainfall

Western Oregon is a region that is threatened by landslides that can cause hazards to the public’s safety‚ their natural resources‚ and infrastructure. The most hazardous areas are in the mountain terrains. Landslides are a common occurrence in Western Oregon. They can be very devastating to homes and businesses and each year millions of dollars are spent repairing the damage caused by landslides (Hofmeister‚ 2002). Landslides are not individual events‚ they occur in conjunction with other factors

Molar Volume of a Gas Objective: The objective is to determine the volume‚ of one mole of hydrogen gas at STP using experimental data‚ known mathematical relationships‚ and a balanced chemical equation. Theory: The goal of this lab is to find the volume of one mole of hydrogen at STP. The experimenters will be working with hydrochloric acid and magnesium to find the objective. The acid in this lab will react to the magnesium and cause the water in the eudiometer to rise because of the reaction

The factors that would cause the lung to collapse are elastic recoil and high surface tension. And the factors that prevent the lungs from collapse are negative intrapulmonary pressure and surfactant. During expiration : volume increase and pressure decrease During inspiration : volume decrease and pressure increase The role of surfactant is to decrease surface tension by more than 40 times. And it’s effect on surface tension is to prevent them from PO2 in alveolar : 104 PO2 in venous blood
