later become hardened and yellowed as a layer of lignin is deposited on their walls. The coir fiber is relatively waterproof‚ and is one of the few natural fibers resistant to damage by saltwater. Fresh water is used to process brown coir‚ while seawater and fresh water are both used in the production of white coir. Coir is naturally rich in Potassium‚ which can lead to Magnesium deficiencies in soilless horticultural media. We do a research about bricks because we knew that the usual

suspended sediment in the water caused the dwindling biodiversity registered in the coastal region. They say it occurs when the effects of global warming lead glaciers near the coast to begin melting‚ discharging large quantities of sediment into the seawater...Their findings: Some species are extremely sensitive to higher sedimentation rates” (Quaile). Melting glaciers are doing nothing beneficial to the already scarce and fragile seabed ecosystems of the poles. Although it’s not affecting all the creatures

Stratigraphy of the Jurassic Upper Jurassic The Upper Jurassic is described in the record by a low-relief transition from shallow-water into basinal facies (Winker & Buffer‚ 1988). Further‚ there is little to no evidence of seismic expression It has been documented that there are facies tracts from past basinal marine all the way to shallow marine as well as nonmarine in this area. In addition to this‚ the oldest confirmed Mesozoic sediments classified as marine in the province of the basin

Pure aluminium is a relatively soft‚ silvery white metal. When exposed to air‚ a thin coating of Aluminium oxide gives it a dull lustre. It is three times less dense than water‚ and has great strength when alloyed‚ it doesnt rust and has high electrical conductivity‚ and Aluminium is also ductile‚ making it a very useful metal. Aluminium readily makes alloys with copper‚ zinc‚ magnesium‚ manganese and silicon. Aluminium foil is 92-99% pure aluminium. Other uses of aluminium alloys include computers
