    • 4 Pages

    All minerals have four properties: 1. All minerals are naturally occurring 2. All minerals are inorganic (that means non-living) 3. A different chemical formula can be written for each mineral and that formula is constant for that mineral. ex. Galena is PbS- that is it has one lead atom (Pb) and one sulfur (S) atom in each molecule. 4. Most minerals have an unique crystalline shape given the right growing conditions (like in a cave). Compounds are substances that has two or

    The Rock Cycle

    • 515 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The rock cycle involves of a chain of continual progressions through which earth materials change from one form to another over time. Some processes in the rock cycle happen over millions of years and others occur much more quickly. There is no real starting or completion to the rock cycle; however‚ it may be appropriate to begin investigating the rock cycle with magma (Bergman 2005). Magma‚ or molten rock‚ forms only at certain locations within the earth‚ mostly along plate boundaries. Magma crystallizes

    Ozone Layer Depletion

    • 4 Pages

    The upper layer of the atmosphere surrounded by ozone (15 to 30 Kms) is known as ozonosphere. Ozone layer is a protective stratospheric layer‚ also known as ozone umbrella. Ozone concentration differs by about 10 ppm in stratosphere compared to 0.05 ppm in troposphere. It acts as a protective shield for the man‚ animals and plants by filtering out the lethal ultraviolet rays from reaching the earth’s surface. If the ozone layer is not there‚ the harmful ultraviolet rays will reach to the

    Five-Layer Density Column A density column consists of layers of liquids of different densities which do not mix with each other‚ and which are clearly distinguishable from each other. The highest density material is at the bottom of the column‚ and as you proceed up the column‚ the density of each successive layer decreases‚ with the lowest density layer on top. Three methods for construction of a five-layer density column are discussed in this write-up. All methods use the same five liquids. •

    • 2 Pages

    Metamorphic rocks are the transformation of the existing rocks‚ the protolith through the process of metamorphism. The Protoliths can be the igneous rock‚ sedimentary rock or any old metamorphic rock. Due to severe heat and pressure‚ the protolithis get various chemical or physical changes. These rocks create a huge part of the Earth’s crust and these can be classified by the mineral and chemical assemblage and by the textures. Examples of the metamorphic rocks are: slate‚ gneiss‚ schist‚ marble

    Rational for Choosing the Eizayaga Layers Method Dr Eizayaga‚ an Argentinean homeopath‚ developed a method to treat chronic cases (Watson 2004). He believed that patients have separate levels of disease‚ which need separate prescriptions. In most chronic cases‚ there will have been long-term use of drugs to suppress the specific pathology and symptoms (Kramer 2006). This means that the true picture of the disease may be obscured and toxicity in the system could also be causing side effects

    ozone layer or ozonosphere‚ region of the stratosphere containing relatively high concentrations of ozone‚ located at altitudes of 12-30 mi (19-48 km) above the earth’s surface. Ozone in the ozone layer is formed by the action of solar ultraviolet light on oxygen. The ozone layer prevents most ultraviolet (UV) and other high-energy radiation from penetrating to the earth’s surface but does allow through sufficient ultraviolet rays to support the activation of vitamin D in humans.

    in Hong Kong The ozone layer present in the stratosphere of the Earth is utmost important to us as it protects us from the exposure of ultraviolet rays which leads to several harmful effects. Without the ozone layer‚ human will be more prone to skin cancer and eye cataracts. Ultraviolet rays can also cause harm to marine life by reducing the amount of planktons and consequently depreciates the amount of fishes in the ocean. Besides that‚ the depletion of the ozone layer disrupts the production of
