On average, one tree produces nearly 260 pounds of oxygen a year.
The flow of energy from the Earth's interior originates from two main sources: the radiogenic and primordial heat respectively. Radiogenic heat is produced by the radioactive decay of isotopes in the mantle, whereas primordial heat is the energy left over since the Earth's formation.
Without using any sensitive scientific equipment, this flow of energy is observable at stress points between the tectonic plates, such as volcanoes. These are ruptures in the crust of the planet through which materials from the interior of the planet are expelled.
Answer: Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a group of manmade chemicals. They are oily liquids or solids, clear to yellow in color, with no smell or taste. PCBs are very stable mixtures that are resistant to extreme temperature and pressure. PCBs were used widely in electrical equipment like capacitors and transformers. They also were used in hydraulic fluids, heat transfer fluids, lubricants, and plasticizers. The primary company that made PCBs in the United States was Monsanto Inc., mainly using the name Aroclor. Commercial production of PCBs ended in 1977 because of health effects associated with exposure. In 1979, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) banned the use of PCBs; however, PCBs are still present in many pre-1979 products.
