Point and Nonpoint Pollution Sources Point Sources Point-source pollutants in surface water and groundwater are usually found in a plume that has the highest concentrations of the pollutant nearest the source (such as the end of a pipe or an underground injection system) and diminishing concentrations farther away from the source. The various types of point-source pollutants found in waters are as varied as the types of business‚ industry‚ agricultural‚ and urban sources that produce them. Commercial

6) Now look the Atlantic Ocean Basin‚ and compare the pattern of older/ youngest oceanic crust to what you say in the Pacific Ocean Basin. Are these ocean basins alike or different; could they be both? The Atlantic Ocean Basin is quite different from the Pacific. The Atlantic Basin has more activity vs the Pacific by way of plate tectonics. There are more plate boundaries in the Atlantic‚ separated in the middle by the Mid Atlantic Ridge. Whereas the Pacific Basin is comprised mainly of the Pacific

Task question In my task question I am going to study why does the velocity vary downstream? To carry out this investigation we will be going to Carding Mill valley; carding mill valley is located near the border of Wales‚ North West England in Shropshire. (This can be seen on image 1) (Image 1) (Image 1) This means we are collecting primary data which is mainly so we can get accurate and reliable set of results. In order to answer the task question

Chapter 1: Geology is the science that studies the history of Earth and its life. Anthropogenic (human generated) activities such as fossil fuel combustion impacting Earth has led to the study of Earth as a series of systems (series of components that interact to produce a larger‚ more complex whole). Geology is the science that examines the evolution of the natural processes on Earth‚ the evolution of life and the evolution of these interactions and how they caused the earth to evolve towards its

The aqueous humor then flows through the pupil and leaves the eye through tiny drainage channels called the trabecular meshwork. These channels are located at what is called the drainage angle of the eye. This angle is where the clear cornea‚ which covers the front of the eye‚ attaches to the base of the iris‚ which is the colored part of the eye. The cornea covers the iris and the

After independence in 1964‚ the basin experienced changes in land use as land was subdivided into smaller plots for agro pastoralists as people resettled from overpopulated foot zone areas.

the Colorado River basin could be declared in a state of drought due to the rapid depletion of the basin water levels. “Some 40 million people – including those in Las Vegas‚ Los Angeles‚ Phoenix‚ Tucson and San Diego — and 4 million acres of farmland rely on water from the Colorado River Basin‚ much of it stored in Lake Mead‚” (Postel‚ 1). This immense reliance on the Colorado River basin has lead to an overuse of the groundwater‚ eventually threatening the future of the basin. By integrating water
