    Ballona Water Arguement

    • 221 Words

    People who live close to Ballona creek are accusing Industries for the contamination of the water. The thing that they would never think of was that it was the asphalt pit. When there is heavy rain, the asphalt pit would over flow and then it runs down into the sewer system, leaking into the creek and draining into the ocean. The Page Museum and Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County have paid local water controllers $15,000 dollars for discharging contaminated water into the storm drains in 2006. And in 2002, the Page Museum paid $3,000 to a coastal cleaning project to resolve a storm water release violation. This source is credible because it was written by Jasson Song and Tony Barboza. Their arguments are solid and clear. They cover…

    Essay On Salt Water

    • 416 Words
    • 2 Pages

    People have been using salt since 6050 bc.We have used it for seasoning, preservation, and in the last century for lowering the freezing point of water(History of Salt). In pure water 0 degrees celsius is the normal freezing point of water. Ice will melt just as fast the water will freeze. You won't see the melting and freezing processes as long as they are balanced and equal. Adding salt or any foreign substance to the water upsets the fragile equality between freezing and melting. Less of the water molecules reach the surface of the ice in an amount of given time. The melting rate isn't changed by the salt, so melting is going to happen faster than the freezing. This makes the ice melt(Frederick A. Senese, Why can adding salt to ice water make the ice melt slower?).…
