Acid rain is a rain or any other form of precipitation that is unusually acidic‚ i.e. elevated levels of hydrogen ions (low pH). It can have harmful effects on plants‚ aquatic animals‚ and infrastructure through the process of wet deposition. Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides which react with the water molecules in the atmosphere to produce acids. Governments have made efforts since the 1970s to reduce the release of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere with positive

Schlichtmann started his depositions: first was a worker at Grace named Paul Shalline‚ head of safety and maintenance. Shalline denies everything‚ “The man claimed to know nothing about the six barrels of toxic waste that had been buried behind the plant and exhumed by order of the EPA” (Harr 157). He lied to protect himself and his company. Though‚ during depositions‚ he was sworn under oath to tell the truth. Next was Grace’s painter‚ Thomas Barbas

SALINITY AND DEEP OCEAN CURRENTS OVERVIEW Ocean currents arise in many different ways. For example‚ wind pushes the water along the surface to form wind-driven currents. Deep ocean currents are caused by differences in water temperature and salinity. In this experiment‚ the students will hypothesize the cause of ocean currents and then develop a model to explain the role of salinity and density in deep ocean currents. CONCEPTS Salt water is more dense than fresh water‚ and is therefore

Canyon. Today‚ the Grand Canyon is consider one of most fascinating natural wonders of the world due to its natural features and rock deposition that date back to millions of years ago. The Grand Canyon is a canyon divided by the Colorado River flowing at its bottom and its walls are decorated by different color layers of rock. It is due to this rock deposition and layering that the canyon has become a spot for geologist to study and of great tourism. As you can see in the image below‚ the canyon

atmosphere. A more precise term is acid deposition‚ which has two parts: wet and dry. Wet deposition refers to acidic rain‚ fog‚ and snow. As this acidic water flows over and through the ground‚ it affects a variety of plants and animals. The strength of the effects depend on many factors‚ including how acidic the water is‚ the chemistry and buffering capacity of the soils involved‚ and the types of fish‚ trees‚ and other living things that rely on the water. Dry deposition refers to acidic gases and particles

common process is deposition. This process uses plastic materials to form layers and create a shape of the object. Inkjet has superior materials to ink and binder to fix the layers. Deposition is the most common process which forces plastics in filament form through a heated extruder to create layers. 3D printing processes: Stereo lithography Digital Light processing Laser Sintering/Laser Melting Extrusion/Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) Inkjet Selective Deposition Lamination (SDL)

Many watched Caitlyn Jenner with admiration and awe at her courage. Us Weekly‚ July 16‚ 2015 reported that not everyone was happy with the Caitlyn Jenner moment. Jessica Steindorff‚ the driver of the Prius was a guest at the Arthur Ashe Award ceremony and watched as Caitlyn won the prestigious award. However‚ Jessica cannot understand how anyone can honor a person who took a life and injured others in a car accident. She credits Caitlyn to being a “positive role model‚” but she slams her for not
