Does This Thing Work? It operates on a 100 year old proven technology called electrolysis. Whenever you place two pieces of metal in water‚ and apply electricity‚ the water separates into it’s basic molecules‚ Hydrogen and Oxygen (H2O). If you look at the picture on the left‚ you will see H2O molecules connected together in their liquid form which is WATER But when you apply electricity (from your car battery)‚ the molecules separate and form a GAS (called HHO) which is a mixture of Hydrogen

contrast the role and activities of intergovernmental and non‑governmental organizations in preserving and restoring ecosystems and biodiversity. There are 2 main approaches to conserving biodiversity around the world: conservation biology and preservation biology. • conservation biology - sustainable use and management of resources; humans are a part of the picture and their needs are also taken into consideration • preservation biology -

Energy Conservation Reflexive diary: Individual essay Before completing this reflexive diary I would have considered myself fairly energy conscious. I would have still said I’m wasteful but I thought I was more aware than others. I thought I knew more about the environmental consequences of wasting energy than I did. Completing this diary really opened my eyes to the amount we all waste energy unnecessarily. Almost all of us don’t have a clue how much energy we consume. I had never thought about

Topic 6 Water Quality and Water Management What determines water quality? Drinking water should be colorless‚ odorless and flavorless; this means that there are no organisms and sediments in the water‚ but it does not mean that if your drinking water look‚ smells and taste clean‚ that does not mean that there is nothing else it. Water also contains dissolved solids: •Sulfur •Calcium •Magnesium If water contains a lot of dissolved calcium and magnesium it is called hard water

Water: the source of life Water is an indefinable element. It can be destructible and wipe out the strongest forces in the world while it was also the beginning of life. It gives a lot but it can take back more than that. Water is one of the four elements of nature. It’s represented in the liquid form while earth is sold‚ air is gas and fire is the in-between of all. Water is important to every living thing. For plants it’s absorbed from the soil‚ for humans it’s for drinking and use for various

Water is a chemical compound with the chemical formula H2O. A water molecule contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms connected by covalent bonds. Water is a liquid at standard ambient temperature and pressure‚ but it often co-exists on Earth with its solid state‚ ice‚ and gaseous state (water vapor or steam). Water also exists in a liquid crystal state near hydrophilic surfaces. Water is considered a purifier in most religions. Major faiths that incorporate ritual washing (ablution) include Christianity

Is anyone concerned with what our world will be like in years to come? With the effects global warming is causing to the environment‚ it’s hard to say that our planet Earth will be the way it is today. Because we are concerned with our environment and the effects global warming is having on our environment‚ we should all be inclined to do what we can to help improve the future of our planet Earth. Through extensive research‚ I have learned what is in store for our environment along with simple things

Water is a chemical compound with the chemical formula H 2O. A water molecule contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms that are connected by covalent bonds. Water is a liquid at standard ambient temperature and pressure‚ but it often co-exists on Earth with its solid state‚ ice‚ and gaseous state‚ steam (water vapor). Water covers 71% of the Earth’s surface.[1] It is vital for all known forms of life. On Earth‚ 96.5% of the planet’s water is found in seas and oceans‚ 1.7% in groundwater‚ 1

Solutions regarding the decline of the water vole (Arvicola terrestris)1 population in the UK The Problem The water vole (Arvicola terrestris)1 started to decline in Britain in the 1990s and by 2005‚ 90% had disappeared from previously occupied sites.2 This makes it the‚ ‘UK’s fastest declining mammal.’2 Two national surveys carried out by the Vincent Wildlife Trust in 1989-90 and 1996-98 showed that the decline of the water vole is now a serious population crash with a further loss

Refer to protected areas and/or reserves‚ seed banks‚ botanic gardens‚ zoos‚ sperm banks In Situ Conservation Methods In-situ conservation‚ the conservation of species in their natural habitats‚ is considered the most appropriate way of conserving biodiversity. Conserving the areas where populations of species exist naturally is an underlying condition for the
