Salinity is the measure and concentration of all the salts dissolved in water. Usually measured in parts per thousand (ppt or )‚ ocean salinity is 35ppt and the average river water salinity is 0.5ppt or less (University of Rhode Island). Many factors go into salinity‚ making water salty. To name a few‚ salinity affects the environment through sediment from rocks washes into the ocean‚ evaporation of ocean water‚ and sea ice formation are known to increase the salinity of the ocean (NASA).

Michael Castelli Keegan Bauman Potato Lab Dr. Peano Block 1 Introduction: Potatoes are just your average food; they have been around for as long as the human race can remember. In this lab we will make them be a prime example of osmosis‚ which is a transport mechanism. In this lab the problem being tested was what environment affects the mass of the potatoes the most. The independent variable is the environments used salt‚ water and iodine solution. The dependent variable is the mass of

Because Stability‚ Consistency‚ Minimization of packet errors. 4.1.2 Because the voltage used to transmit data needs only be high enough for the receiver to detect it. Making the voltage higher would make the receiver electronics more difficult. 4.1.3 Hospitals‚ security systems‚ PA & recording studios. The drawback of STP cables is that they will increase the total cost of an installation.

Homeostasis Lab: The Effects of Exercise on Homeostasis Lab Write Up Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to discover the effect that various levels of exercise have on specific body parameters such as heart rate‚ body temperature‚ perspiration level‚ body color‚ and breathing rate. Homeostasis will be monitored to calculate the change in such body parameters. To find this information the subject will exercise for a controlled periods of time. At each rest‚ the subject will be recorded upon

Period 12 Chemical Aspects of Life & Spit Lab ABSTRACT: The objective for the Spit lab was to test two different types of crackers for the presence or absence of starch and of reducing sugars. Also‚ to test the chewed cracker‚ the one that didn’t have a reducing sugar‚ for the presence or absence of a reducing sugar with the saliva in it. Adding on‚ another part of the objective is to determine the effect of amylase on starch. For the Chemical Aspects lab‚ the objectives were to test for the presence

Earth’s Energy Budget Introduction: This Albedo lab was created to help explain the process in which the Earth reflects solar energy back to space. The fraction of radiation reflected by an object is known as an albedo. In relation to the atmosphere‚ as solar radiation reaches certain colors on the surface of Earth‚ more radiation is absorbed by darker colors‚ which in turn decreases the solar radiation that reflects back to the atmosphere. If a person was interested in learning more
