Example 1: FOREST FIRES
September 24, 2015 - Forest Fire in Indonesia continue to cause smog and haze (Atmosphere) across the region, with air pollutants reaching hazardous levels overnight in Singapore.
The poor air quality shift in wind direction transporting smoke and haze from land and forest (Biosphere) fires in South Sumatra, Indonesia. Their District continues to lead in the number of active fire alerts, with 423 hotspots (Lithosphere) in the last week.
The particulate matter in the air falls out, smothering plants, enriching the soil and thereby moving towards seas, rivers (Hydrosphere) and other water forms that can endangered human's health.
Example 2: DROUGHT
April 8, 2016- Swathes of corn stand withered on the parched rolling hills near the farming town in the Southern Philippines, while shallow cracks scar were once fertile rice paddies. (Biosphere)
El Nino is wreaking havoc in agriculture-rich Cotabato province.
That the villagers are in difficult situation of nothing else to eat. After a lot of incident happened, one of the villagers complained back pain and headache after the rough sleeping of several days.
Unfortunately, he died due to heat stroke of the recent changes in temperature due to Global Warming. (Atmosphere) The animals have nothing to feed the fields are dry making the soil (Geosphere / Lithosphere) less fertile for plants.
The farmers experienced scarce of water (Hydrosphere), crop failures and starving, land drying livestock as well as shortage of potable water.
Answer:
Calcium salts give bone its a. tensile strength. b. torsional strength. c. flexibility. d. compressional strength.
The answer is Option D (Compressional strength)
Explanation:
Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body, most of the calcium in the body are found in the bones and teeth. Calcium helps the body with not only building strong bones and teeth, but also assisting the body in sending and receiving nerve signals. If blood calcium gets too high or too low, the muscles and nerves will not function.
Bone which serves as a storage area for calcium are mostly made of the protein collagen, forms the skeletal framework of all vertebrates, and it plays a major role in calcium balance in the blood. Bone exhibits four types of cells: osteoblasts, bone lining cells, osteocytes, and osteoclasts. Functions of bone includes structural support of the body, protection of internal organs, attachment of the muscles, production of blood cells.
Calcium salts form crystals that give bones great strength. Bone mineral is formed from carbonated hydroxyapatite. Calcium hydroxyapatite is a naturally occurring mineral form of calcium apatite, it contains magnesium and carbonate and it is identical to the substance in teeth and bones. The collagen fibers give bone its tensile strength, and hydroxyapatite give bone its compressive strength.
Answer:
Rate of reaction = 2.0 M/s
Explanation:
2H2O2(g) --> 2H2O(g) + O2(g)
Rate of formation of H2O = 2.0 M/s
Rate of reaction can be measured using multiple techiques and parameters like volume, pressure etc.
Among these techniques is the measurement of appearance of products.
This means we have;
Rate of reaction = Rate of appearance of product
Hence;
Rate of reaction = 2.0 M/s
Answer:
3.6mol Li
Explanation:
To get the amount of moles from the mass we divide the mass by the molar mass.
25g ÷ 6.941g/mol = 3.6mol Li
Answer: 18 atoms
Explanation: the reactant contains 6O2 and 6O and this gives a total of 18
