Ways to Prevent Soil Erosion Soil Erosion Although many areas on earth can sustain plant growth‚ only about eight percent of the earth’s surface is covered with good topsoil. While it takes nature hundreds of years to make a few centimeters of topsoil‚ erosion can easily remove it. Without topsoil‚ people cannot raise crops for food.People know that without good soil they cannot raise agricultural crops. They also know from experience that wind and water can easily remove topsoil. Because of

Coastal erosion at Happisburgh‚ Norfolk Happisburgh‚ on Norfolk’s North Sea coast‚ is a village with a population of 1400 people in about 600 houses. The village contains a notable stone church dating from the 14th century‚ an impressive manor house‚ listed buildings and a famous red and white striped lighthouse (Figure 1). Although now a coastal village‚ Happisburgh was once some distance from the sea‚ parted from the coast by the parish of Whimpwell‚ long since eroded away. Historic records indicate

Erosion caused by waves can be as subtle as the gentle wave constantly hitting the shoreline‚ or it can be a violent interaction between lake Michigan or inland lakes and the earth around them during ever during severe storms. In Michigan‚ there are primarily two types of material found on the shoreline. Bedrock‚ which is the harder of the two‚ known a consolidated substance and the effects of the water cause less erosion. Then there are the items like sand

Experiment 8: Hydrogen Phosphate Buffer Systems Purpose The purpose of the lab was to create a buffer solution and observe the capacity of the phosphate buffer system. Also‚ the experiment was meant to provide experience with the calculations and mathematics involved in creating the buffer solution. Finally‚ the lab was designed to provide an insight and appreciation for the necessity and complexity of buffers in our physiology and in the environment. Procedure No deviations were made from

Acids‚ Bases‚ and Buffers Introduction: The pH scale is used to determine how acidic or basic a solution is‚ ranging from 1-14. The most acidic of all acids are at a pH level of 1 and the most basic of all bases are at 14. The neutral pH level is 7‚ which is what drinking water is. The pH level is determined by the amount of H+ ions present in a solution‚ and the more H+ ions there are the more acidic it is‚ and the lack of these ions results in more basic solutions. One distinguishing feature

ULTRA-SONIC DISTANCE METER. Introduction to Ultrasonic Distance Meter The project Ultrasonic Distance Meter is a very interesting and useful project for many industrial applications. In this project we have used the ultrasonic waves to measure the distance in between two points. The basic principal is based on the speed of ultrasonic waves in open air. We have used a microcontroller AT89S51 to transmit and receive ultrasonic waves through 40 KHz ultrasonic receiver and transmitters. By measuring
